17 steps up awarded us this clean, bright & tastefully-decorated one-bedroom apt. with double sofabed, (perfect for our additional family member!) The apt conveniently has a modern stack washer/dryer set in a closet. The proprietor, Helena, was very helpful, providing information, as well as plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. She really showed genuine care for our needs & satisfaction. The apt is conveniently located to Sopris Park (around the corner), shops, restaurants & cinema on Main Street, plus access to the biking path & library just two blocks away. More commercial establishments, including The City Market, are within walking distance, or a short drive away. We had family to visit in Carbondale, but also enjoyed hiking, picnicking, and rafting, with easy drives to Glenwood Springs, including more shopping, dining, swimming in the hot springs, & entertainment. We also enjoyed visiting nearby Powell Art Museum, Redstone, Basalt, & Aspen as well. The local transit system is convenient & well worth taking to the city of Aspen & to the airport, especially to be able to safely view the magnificent surrounding scenery! And this VRBO apt is in the middle or it all! Thank you Helena!
