THE SPACE
Welcome to Denver! A top notch doobie on your pillow & a gratis bottle of wine. Ideal accommodations for 1-3 guests (but a 4th could be squeezed in). Sweet 1908 bungalow in trendy foodie area. Several restaurants on the block, but still a quiet neighborhood. Walk to so many great places.

Two comfy bedrooms with all you need, private bath & “kitchenette” area in artful 1908 bungalow.

There are two bedrooms in this suite:
~First bedroom in suite has queen sized bed.
~Second bedroom in suite has a regular twin sized bed and a twin sized trundle bed that is usually stored under the regular twin bed. (4th guest can be accommodated in a pinch on the trundle bed, but room will be very crowded if trundle bed is rolled out and utilized. Please see pics with trundle bed out)
~Also in the twin bedroom a “kitchenette” area with a small fridge, small microwave, coffee pot, hot water pot, small ice machine, two tv trays, two small snack tables, plastic dishes, cups and utensils.
The kitchenette has everything you need for snacks, microwavable meals and beverages.
~You’re own spacious, private full bathroom.

Please read carefully and browse all pictures to get a clear idea of accommodation description. Multiple pictures of each room are in this order: Queen room, twin room with kitchenette area, bathroom, common area of house (you will only be walking through this area to access your private suite of rooms), exterior of house, neighborhood.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Situated in authentic Denver neighborhood. Old and new residences mixed with small charming businesses. Walk to many amazing restaurants, bars, happy hours, and of course, dispensaries, including Simply Pure, the first black-owned dispensary in Denver, nationally known for innovative edibles–just down the street!

Please scroll through and enjoy pics to see some of the neighborhood’s excellent restaurants and hang-outs. This can help you plan your trip. After my house pics are loads of restaurant pics. They are grouped per restaurant. You’ll see the name of restaurant, then pics of it’s food and atmosphere, then the name of restaurant again, then group of the next restaurant pics starts with the name of the next restaurant.

Denver is close to many parks and mountain attractions. :)) Sunnyside (my neighborhood) is quite close to I-70, the gateway to the mountains. I’ve got loads of books for you to peruse about things to do in and around Denver.

SANITARY ACCOMMODATIONS
*In response to pandemic, I no longer host separate parties simultaneously. I now offer a 2-BEDROOM, PRIVATE BATH, GUEST SUITE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SANITARY ACCOMMODATIONS with no kitchen cross-contamination between guests and hosts and no guest bathroom cross-contamination between separate guest parties. My intent is to provide a comfortable yet sanitary suite where guests can enjoy a quiet, laid-back marijuana friendly stay in Denver as the pandemic continues to subside. In this unprecedented situation, I’m arranging my accommodations conscientiously as things develop, but for now my listing is configured such that there’s no concern over common area cross-contamination between guest/host parties. Although guests pass through the common area on their way to their suite, we do not share the common areas of my home. At the time of this writing, the World Health Organization is concerned about immediate resurgence of COVID-19 now that lock-downs are easing as well as predicting that the pandemic may surge every flu season for years to come. I’d like to offer safe harbor for folks who are eager to travel, explore and relax safely. Therefore, my new room configuration will accommodate only one group at a time for guests who will appreciate the level of safety and comfort this will offer.

*I provide spray alcohol and clean cloth wipes at the main doorway for each person to clean doorknobs as they come and go. There is alcohol and/or hand sanitizing gel in each guest room for your convenience. We will discuss any sanitization measures and concerns when you book.

PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
FREE parking is always available on my block, often right in front of my house! Uber, Lyft, and Car2Go are usually only a couple minutes away. Bus to downtown leaves across the street from my house.
FROM DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
$10 or so A-train from DIA to beautiful Union Station, then 5 min Uber to my house (or a longer bus ride OR if you don’t have much luggage, a gorgeous half hour walk from Union Station, through the park and into my neighborhood.)
Uber or Lyft from DIA to my door is usually $26-$36 or so. Can cost more if it’s surging.

GRATIS DOOBIE AND WINE
I’ll get you started with a gratis doobie on your pillow, and a doobie for each night of your stay after that. There are great recreational dispensaries within walking distance–and even more within driving distance, some open until midnight! Each guest in your party receives a gratis doobie for each night they’re booked.
Let me know if you prefer red or white wine for your gratis bottle:)

SMOKING IS ON THE COVERED FRONT PORCH
*Guests will have access to the café table and chairs on the front porch. I will get the front porch swing so that parties can maintain social distancing while still being able to all hang out. This has worked well with guests that I’ve hosted during the epidemic.

I PROVIDE COFFE, TEA AND OTMEAL
*To avoid cross-contamination between guests, I can provide coffee, individually packaged teas and oatmeal packets if desired. Let me know what you would like of those things and I will provide them.

CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
Check-in is after 3 pm. Give me your specific check-in time. Once I’ve given you the grand tour, you are welcome to come and go as you wish. Check-out is by 11am on your departure day

ONE SWEET KITTY LIVES HERE.
If you are NOT a kitty person, no worries. Don’t bother him; he won’t bother you. Just keep your doors closed so he doesn’t get in your stuff or on the guest linens.
If you ARE a kitty person, please read the following:
Frankie enjoys meeting new people at a distance. Please don’t touch him. He’s often very curious about people who don’t touch him and show him clearly with their body language that they will not touch him. If you try to touch him, he will hiss, run away and avoid you. He may poop or pee inappropriately on the floor to show his displeasure. He really does like new people. He just doesn’t want them to touch him. His pic is in the gallery here. He’s white with one eye. (The other white kitty and the orange tabby, also in pic, have passed away this last year.)

WHEN YOU REQUEST TO BOOK
Please tell me about your trip to Denver and about yourself. Let me know what kind of guests you’ll be. Thanks!

Welcome! Ask me about anything in Denver, my neighborhood or my house.

Basically, respect my home and its residents; I'll do the same for you. Here's the breakdown:

*BE HEALTHY, SAFE AND SANITARY
*For everyone's safety, I can only host guests who have no respiratory issues, flu symptoms or other symptoms. If you are sick, please do not book. If you become sick before you arrive, please contact me so we can work out canceling your reservation.
*Follow all sanitary procedures: clean doorknobs at front door upon coming and going as well as other procedures that will be discussed at time of booking and arrival. Bring and wear masks as recommended. I will provide isopropyl alcohol and clean cloths at front door and in bathroom. We can discuss any of this before actual booking so we know we are comfortable with the same level of sanitary maintenance. If you are uncomfortable with federal, state, city and my sanitary requirements, please don't request to book. I'll post reminders in my home for sanitary and other measures to help everyone remember. This has worked well and been easy for most guests during this pandemic.
*I'm sorry, but no more guest access to common areas of my home. During your stay, you will of course pass through common areas, but please stay in your designated suite and in the café table area of front porch (The porch swing is my and my personal guests' designated area of porch if we wish to be on front porch at same time. This set-up worked quite well with the two parties I hosted in mid-May. We got to relax and chat together outside while maintaining social distancing.)

BE LEGAL
~You may only book if you and everyone in your party are 21 or older. (Please let me know if you're traveling with your infant or child and we'll figure it out.)

QUIET TIMES
~Quiet time after 10:00p (unless everybody's still up) & before 8:00a. Of course you may come and go early or late as you wish, just be respectful of others and particularly quiet if you think someone may be sleeping. I do expect guests to be reasonably low key and always respectful of me, my pets, my home and my neighborhood.

SMOKING AND DRINKING
~This is not a party house, but a home in which to relax and quietly enjoy your stay.
~Be polite and keep it low key.
~Smoking and vaping of tobacco and marijuana are allowed at café table area of front porch only.
~No smoking or vaping in the house and no flame in your rooms.
~No illegal drugs and no overt intoxication. Treat all other inhabitants with respect.

HOUSE SECURITY
~Always lock the exterior door each time you arrive and each time you leave the house.

PLEASE REMOVE YOUR SHOES WHEN ENTERING THE HOUSE
~You can keep them next to my shoes across from front door or in your room. Let me know if you want clean slippers!

MY CAT
~Make sure my cats stay inside house. Do NOT leave exterior doors open even when you load in and load out.
~Leave your bedroom doors closed when you're not in your room to keep cats out of your stuff and off guest linens.

CLEAN UP AS YOU GO
~Wipe up crumbs and spills immediately. Store food in fridge and provided plastic bins immediately each time you prepare and eat food. Immediately bag all food garbage and put all dirty dishes in pan. I will wash and sanitize your dishes for you and bring them back. Directly after eating, bring garbage and pan out of twin room and set on floor in my kitchen doorway. We don't want vermin in the guest rooms!
~Keep all personal items in your suite (aside from leaving bagged garbage and pan of dirty dishes in my kitchen doorway).

NO GUESTS OF GUESTS
~You may NOT invite your own guests onto my property (excepting, of course those you've booked with, and communicated to me about ahead of time.)
~You must meet your dates, friends, and family (anyone who is not already booked here) elsewhere.

ETA & BOOKING
~Message me your ETA when you're booking. I can check you in at a variety of times, but we must schedule specific time for check-in and meet here at that specified time. Things happen so keep me appraised of ETA changes because of flights, road conditions etc. I will do the same for you. Once you're checked in, come and go as you please during your stay :)
~Message me the full names of everyone you are traveling with. Please help me vet them and tell me something about them.

~Thank you for your consideration and for choosing my home!

I have stayed in this house quite a few times when in Denver. I find it warm and welcoming and the decor magical. In the past I have stayed in the queen bedroom, shared the bath, and had access to the common areas. That was then. Now with the current health conditions and the new configuration of the guest spaces, I stayed in the two room suite with private bath. It was great. Using the twin bedroom as my living-dining-kitchen area, I felt I had my own small apartment within this house I like so much. I truly didn’t mind just passing the common areas, leaving them for Erika and her kitty! So thanks, Erika, for a relaxed, comfortable, and safe visit. BTW, I really enjoyed eating in some of your neighborhood restaurants. It really is a great foodie area.

We had a great stay at Erika’s 2 BR suite. The Dobie and Wine were a wonderful welcome. The 2 rm suite was quite roomy seeing that it was just my husband and me in our party. The rooms were very clean and well appointed with fun decor. The queen bed was very comfortable. We felt very safe with the extra pre- cautions Erika had provided for post Covid19. Our suite was provided with a small refrigerator, a micro-wave, coffee pot and excellent coffee! She greeted us warmly and made her presence known without being intrusive.

The neighborhood was great for strolling and had many interesting restaurants. Necios, a gourmet Mexican restaurant was in the block across the street and provided us with an excellent meal. Sunnies provides a great breakfast. The city bus line is on the street in front and provides a short ride into Denver downtown. We really enjoyed the cafe table on the front porch and the deep front yard that distanced us from the street. We rented a car for a day and easily drove into the mountains.
