Chris was vert accommodating and quick to respond to any request. I like how he chose a pin code fore the door that my entire family would easily remember. It is a quiet comfortable place in a very nice neighborhood. Mule deer bucks visited the backyard, even laid down for a nap. I would only suggest adding a full size fridge and washer/dryer and this place would be perfect. Overall wonderfull place and host.

The only reason I would not leave 5 stars, is to keep this gem of a place all to myself. Each morning I had coffee outside and was greeted in Bambi like settings with deer, bunnies and a ton of chirping birdies. The location is so convenient for USAFA visits. It’s clean, affordable, and the host is lovely. When I’m back in town, I will book with him if at all possible!

Great little spot!

Really enjoyed our stay at this location! The space was clean and lovely. The kitchenette has several dishes and pots and pans if you want to make food in. In the evenings, we would take a walk around the neighborhood, which was beautiful and good exercise! The host, Chris, was great. Would stay again.

Great place, super clean and cute! Even though there's only a kitchenette we had everything we needed to make food. For some reason we couldn't get the wifi to work, the network wasn't showing up on our phones but it wasn't a big issue for us. We would definitely come back!

Very quiet and close to everything we were doing

The place was extremely clean and very quiet. Easy to get to everything we had going on. The steps down to it are a little tricky and he warned us about them. He had a Roku on the TV which allowed me to sign in to my ESPN app and watch softball- was expired about that

Perfect for Family Visit

My husband and I used the apartment during our visit to the Air Force Academy. Close to the North Gate entrance, it was easy to access the Academy. Although it doesn't have a full-sized kitchen, it had everything we needed. The owner has supplied guests with appliances to make meal preparation easy.The neighborhood is lovely with lots of wildlife. Shopping and dinning are also close.
