Though the city is amazing with a lot to offer, of course it’s great to have your own hideaway. My room is essentially my studio/desk space too and the hub of my creative activities.

Le Select is a “brasserie” where I like to have a drink in spring and summer especially by night.

A welcome retreat from the bustle of the city. I really enjoyed spending the afternoon walking around the botanical gardens, taking pictures. It's home to thousands of species of plants and nearly as many cats.

Hidden in the small alleys of Minsheng District, this small Japanese joint is quaint with warm lighting and comfortable wooden chairs. Get a taste of homemade Japanese food, with set dishes revolving around entrées such as pork shogayaki, vegetable soup curry, or shiso chicken rolls.

Slow healthy food and drinks

"Fundació Joan Miró" it's my favorite museum in Barcelona. They do beautiful & interesting exhibitions, but what really mesmerizes me is their architecture by Josep Lluís Sert. It's located at Montjuic mountain but very close to city center, so you can breathe clean air and enjoy art master pieces. The shop and bookstore it's also a place where I can spend many hours.

This is my favourite brasserie. Very close to my school, I often have lunch there. Every dish is delicious (no surprise there!) and service very nice. A great place for some traditional French cooking!

Coziest Cafe on the south side

Locally designed stationary and text-based things! Regional Assembly of Text is a gift shop that also has its own letter writing club (free typewriter parties!) and a little cozy nook named 'lowercase gallery' which features a library of handmade art books and zines!

Ember Hostel is located in Cap Hill just a short walk from the state capitol, downtown bars and an awesome music scene. Capitol Hill was once the home of Denver’s elite and today consists of historic mansions, such as this. Ember Hostel was certainly an experience above all expectations. The mansion is decorated in retro style with so many details to look at. If you want to hang out at the lounge to perhaps get some work done, choose any of the many corners to curl up in. They also provide supplementary coffee, tea and fresh water. You can choose to stay in the dorm room, consisting of 16 bunkbeds, or you can stay at the private deluxe room for 2 with a queen bed. When you've found your buddy travellers, grab them all and jump in to the 10-people jacuzzi at the backyard. Or sit by the fireplace and drink beers and chit-chat. The staff is so friendly and at your service 24/7. They helped us with lots of local tips to restaurants, breakfast places and bars. Again, this was definitely over all expectations and I can definitely recommend staying here if you visit Denver.

A beautiful little shop carrying handmade goods including jewelry, soaps, candles, bags, stationery & a small selection of vintage treasures. All the jewelry is made in house by the owner Siobhan, who has her work bench in the space.

Northwest of Neede you can find the remains of a swimming pool which is now part of a nature area. The diving board serves as a viewing point.
