Logistics
Travel to Denver, CO: You are on your own in getting to Denver and getting from the airport to the house. Until we have the actual address of the house, here's a map provided by AirBnB of roughly where the house is located:
Rental Car?: We don't think that we will need to rent a car. Instead we'll rely on Lyft or Uber to get us around the city.
Food: There are restaurants everywhere in Denver.
Rooming Situation: According to the website, there are 6 bed rooms at this house:
Cost: VIS will be helping out with the housing expense (and possibly some amount on food). So you just need to pay for your way to get to Denver (and share the cost of adult beverages).
