South Valley at Sunset
I thought I was going to disappointed in sunsets having moved to CO from CA, but I was wrong! Wash Park is my fav park around Denver, it's always bustling with joggers, bikers, stroller moms, volleyball...There's always something for everyone! #Adventure #NoFilterBelieveItOrNot :)
It's always interesting to walk around universities and see the different types of architecture. This is the University of Denver founded in 1864 and the oldest private university in the Rocky Mountain region #trovember

Room was spotless when entering and staff was helpful. During complimentary breakfast, I realized my fruit was not washed and dirty. Did not know you had to request for room service.

The house is clean, updated, very functional and has plenty of space to spread out. The proximity to the wedding we went to was great. The host is very accommodating and responded quickly to inquiries. It is an older neighborhood but never felt unsafe.
