This was our second visit at this condo and the location is perfect! We were walking distance from Main St., the Animas River, coffee shops and the grocery coop! The condo is well maintained and has a balcony where you can enjoy a meal or your morning coffee!This is the perfect location for your stay in Durango!
4.0 / 5.0
Very nicely decorated and clean condo in a convenient location. It is very close to the Historic Downtown so close to the train station, restaurants/bars, and shops. The management company was quickly responsive to our questions.
But two points that are not clear on the website: 1) the on-site parking can't hold anything bigger than a Tundra pickup truck. And there is no way to overlap. There is free street parking nearby, but on the weekend, that gets full. 2) the website does say in small print that the condo apartment is on the second floor (with no elevator). But the bedrooms are up another long flight of stairs.
These 2 issues caused us some difficulty, so I'll give them 4 stars instead of 5.

Overall we enjoyed this Rental. A good amount of space for our family of 5. Great location, very easy to walk to restaurants and shops. A couple of things to be aware of. The A/C does not work very well in upstairs space, it did get up to 80 degrees in the afternoon and evening. Downstairs space was nice and cool. The smaller bedroom contains 1 twin bed and 1 twin size chair pullout. Works great for kids but the chair pullout not ideal for an adult. Unit was nice and clean. Host provided good selection of games and TV's are set up for you to use your own streaming services.

Everything was great and as-described, only one minor issue was the A/C wasn't keeping the bedrooms cool enough for our liking upstairs. The high temps reached 90 degrees outside during our stay and A/C couldn't keep up with the challenge in the upstairs rooms. Fans were provided which helped and it ended up being a minor inconvenience. I wouldn't expect this to be a problem except during the hottest days in Durango. Also, don't expect any spices in the kitchen, not even salt and pepper. But coffee was provided and appreciated. Overall this was a wonderful place for our family of four to enjoy downtown Durango for a week.

Condo was updated very smartly. We also loved this condo’s location with access to the Riverwalk and just around the corner from beautiful third Street and all the original beautiful paintings as well.
5.0 / 5.0
Very convenient location. Clean. Quiet considering proximity to Main St. Would benefit from more "hang up" space for clothing and some relatively inexpensive single use items (salt, pepper, sugar packets).

Excellent! Best location for historic downtown Durango!!! 30 minute drive to Purgatory, 45 minute drive Wolfcreek, 2 hour drive to Telluride and 50 minute drive to Silverton. This was our 3rd time staying here and have booked our 2025 ski vacation at this property. It really feels like home away from home.

Property was clean and comfortable. Parking is not great, space is extremely narrow and there was no snow/ice removal in alley/parking area making it slippery and dangerous after snowfall. Cannot use the living room tv and fireplace at the same time as the fireplace causes the tv to overheat and turn off. Kitchen faucet needs to be replaced.
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent location with convenient covered parking. Easy walking access to the main street shops, restaurants, pubs, and train depot.
5.0 / 5.0
We very much enjoyed our stay! Great to walk everywhere to shop and eat. Felt safe although there were some homeless people. Parking spot is tight but could still park our Ford 250 short bed truck. Condo had everything, nice appliances, except coffee pot needs replacing. Also, needed more paper towels and had to buy tissues and hand soap. Would stay again!

So this is an average review. You will probably like this property if you rent it in the winter and have a pet. If you don't meet both of those, you may not enjoy the rental. They have an A/C issue that requires the AC to not go below 68 (they have a sign) because it locks up. There is one unit for both floors so this means the bedroom is usually 8 degrees hotter. To get the house cool you have to close all blinds and run the unit all day to get the downstairs cool. They know they have a problem and have lots of fans to compensate. The rental has a musty pet smell. Lastly, make sure that you have two codes (which are different) to get into the property. Their VRBO listing only had one. Their e-mail had both, but we did not know this and spent 20 minutes trying to get in. The property is managed (and maybe owned) by a company. When I shared the issues they kept nicely saying I was wrong. I told them I could send them a picture of both the AC issue and the instructions from VRBO, which they said was not necessary, but never apologized. So not a great experience and we would not rent this location again.
3.0 / 5.0
We stayed here for two nights. The upside of the property is that it’s easy walking distance from downtown. The property was also kept clean.
There are numerous negatives:
-parking space is awful—cannot even get your stuff out of the car it’s so tight.
-The unit is pretty worn down—worn out bed, both blinds in the primary bedroom are broken, kitchen sink faucet was broken.
-it is in a VERY noisy location
With all of these downsides, we just didn’t feel very comfortable there and certainly did not feel like there was value in the cost of renting. We would look elsewhere for our next Durango visit.

5.0 / 5.0
It was as expected. A little expensive but a large unit with plenty of space, clean and right in the middle of restaurants with surrounding cute shops. None of which we could visit due to the time constraints.
5.0 / 5.0
The condo was perfect for us. We were able to walk to Durango Steam Train, Mesa Verde Tour office, and all over Downtown. The Condo was clean, provided starter kits for kitchen and bathrooms and a great balcony for people watching. Will stay there again on our next trip!
4.0 / 5.0
Property was in a great location and the listing was accurate. Several items at the property were broken, the AC did not work but was repaired by the owner promptly after being notified. The shades over the sliding glass door in the kitchen did not work. The pull out bed in the guest bedroom had a missing leg that made it wobble while sleeping on it. Also the reserved parking space was too small to fit a F-150 sized truck. All these items really didnt amount to too much inconvenience hence the four star rating. Once fixed this is a five star property.

We were on family vacation and decided to visit Colorado and were able to stay in this beautiful condo in downtown Durango. It's in a prime location for walking to downtown and all the great shops and restaurants.
Host was great and addressed any questions answered. Property was great for our family of 4 including two small children. We will be booking again when in Durango.

Location is ideal for exploring Durango. Convenient to walk to coffee shops and restaurants. The unit was musty smelling and the blinds/shades were broken so that we couldn’t get out on the main balcony and had a hard time with other windows. Kitchen amenities were good, master bathroom was roomy, and there were nice Aveda products. There were plenty of hooks to put our bags and hats, which you don’t always find in rentals. All in all, it worked for us traveling with our friend due to it having 2 beds/2 baths.
5.0 / 5.0
We stayed with a family of 5 with kiddo ages 6, 11, & 13. The location is perfect to all of the Main Street shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bike rental, ice cream, you name it. The Durango to Silverton train is just a few blocks away as well. Driving around from this location was easy to hit up raft guides and jump on the road to Pagosa or Mesa Verde.
The place is well furnished with nice furniture, dishes and small things like paper towels, toilet paper and coffee.
My only complaint(s) are that the assigned parking space is super small with a wall on one side. So, I had to climb out of the passenger door - but the white jeep next to this spot is super nice and parks as far to the other side as possible to assist. The master bed mattress was fine - but probably needs replaced soon as it is a little worn in two spots (where people sleep the most).
Overall, we would not hesitate to come back to this property - especially if we want to spend time down town and limit driving.

This was our second year in Durango for Spring Break, and this condo was absolutely perfect for our family. The location was exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of space for us to spread out, but also for us to gather and enjoy time with one another. We will definitely be coming back!

I had a great stay! This is a very comfortable, clean home with all of the creature comforts to make a stay great. The location was perfect to get to Main Street quickly to enjoy the local shopping and restaurants. The master bedroom has a very comfortable bed with window blinds that open from the top down to enjoy the mountain views while maintaining privacy, an en suite bathroom with double vanity sinks, a walk-in shower and separate whirlpool bathtub. The second bedroom has a single bed and a loveseat with a pull-out bed and a full bathroom downstairs with a walk-in shower. The living area has a spacious dining table to enjoy a meal. I would highly recommend this vacation home or a family or small group of friends.
