Great location with plenty of space

This is a very clean and spacious townhome located in the heart of it all. It is great for a couple or small family. Views of mountains and city. Walking distance to everything you need. We would have no problem staying here again in the future.

Perfect for our Family Vacay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was great! The condo was easy to access and very clean! We enjoyed the location as it was central to most of Durango and also only 30 minutes to Purgatory. We drove to dinner and coffee (Joe's is amazing), but we also walked a few times. The rooms/beds were wonderful! The sofa in living room is a King. We loved the amenity boxes VRC provided - we didn't buy anything but food! Property was as described and had great customer service!Parking spot is tight but that was the ONLY downside!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy to walk downtown. The only negative is for the person(s) sleeping in the smaller upstairs bedroom. It is over College Ave which can be noisy. The master bedroom was beautiful and quiet. Ear plugs solved our "issue".

Cool condo; great location

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.

Great Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Excellent Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

College condo.

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).

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.

Clean and comfortable

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Nice condo in the heart of downtown!

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!

Things to know before renting this location

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.

Wasted $$

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.

Great Location, Needs some TLC

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.
