We are a retired couple, having travelled extensively previously for work but now for pleasure, looking to expand our horizons for time in Europe. Here in Colorado we ski, camp and enjoy fly fishing, activities which are readily accessible from our condo in Lakewood (10 minutes from downtown Denver).

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Large modern one bedroom condo on Belmar Plaza in Lakewood Colorado, ten minutes from downtown Denver and with easy access to the Colorado mountains. We are just over an hour from world class skiing, hiking, fishing and the great outdoors. The Plaza Residence building has security access and dedicated underground private parking, with elevator access from the garage to each floor, making it easy to move things from car to condo. We also have a ranch just an hour away, so a simultaneous exchange is not necessary. We love camping and the use of our small teardrop camper could be included upon negotiation along with vehicle exchange.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
The Belmar area of Lakewood is an upscale urban community including dozens of restaurants, markets and shops. Our condo overlooks Belmar Plaza with ice skating in the winter and entertainment in the summer. The location allows easy access to downtown Denver via bus or light rail, and you reach mountain resorts easily from here (Keystone, Breckinridge, Vail and Winter Park all within a two hour drive). Parks, trail systems, the Lakewood Cultural Center and the Belmar library are all within easy walks.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our favorite restaurants are Ted's Montana Grill (two short blocks away), TStreet Roadhouse (on the ground level of our building), Little India (across the Plaza) and Wasabi Sushi (on the Plaza). The Century Theater complex is right across the street. Whole Foods market is a short block away, and medical facilities are only two blocks away. The Lakewood Cultural Center offers plays and concerts, and concerts on the Plaza occur every Friday night during the summer, right outside our building. It is easy to get to downtown Denver either by car, bus (our preference), light rail, Car2Go or of course Uber.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We are in a non-smoking building (no exceptions), and have only room for one couple and maybe a kid or two on the couch. Should you wish to have others join you, there is a Hyatt House hotel just a block away at the west end of the Plaza.
