My family of 4 stayed here for one week. We wanted the Vegas experience but were on a budget. This place met all of our needs. Location is approximately 15-20 minutes from the strip depending on traffic and approximately 40 minutes to the mountains. It is on a side street that connects to a main road.
Pros:
- Bedrooms have comfortable beds and spacious rooms. The two queen beds in one room are memory foam. The bed in the other room wasn't memory foam, but my parents slept on it and said it was comfortable. The walls between the bedrooms are thin so it's good to be mindful of that. The sofa also turns into a bed but we didn't need it for that. I'm not sure how comfortable it would be as a bed, because it's a bit on the firmer side but works well for sitting.
- Kitchen was well equipped with all appliances we needed: coffee maker, pots and pans, refrigerator, ice cube tray, dishes, brita filter, utensils, cups, basic condiments salt and pepper, sugar, and non dairy creamer. I think a few more condiments and spices would add a nice touch. (tea packets, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cooking oil, etc). There's also a kitchen table with bench seating.
- Living room was spacious enough for 4 people to sit and relax. There is just the one sofa, so parties of 4+ people will need to sit on the foldable chairs provided in the apartment. The TV has Netflix and YouTube. There is a TV antenna but we found that it didn't receive many channels.
- Bathroom was clean and tidy. We had 4 adults share one bathroom and it worked well enough. We just had to exercise some patience with each other. Water pressure is great, never took long for the shower to get hot and stay hot. The host did provide us with towels and there was a small issue with the towels, but the host was quick to respond to our concerns. The bathroom does not have a vent or hair dryer. Since it's an apartment I'm not sure if anything can be done about a vent but a hair dryer would be a nice touch.
- Neighborhood is pretty busy since the location is situated in apartment style complexes. There are dogs in and around this neighborhood. We would hear them barking in the early mornings around 7am. This is in no way the hosts' fault, but the neighbors do not clean after their pets. Therefore, the property had dog excrement during our stay. I did bring this up with the host.
As for parking, we never had any trouble finding street parking. There is also a shaded parking lot next to the building. There are lots of food options nearby, laundromats, grocery stores, gas stations, and Walmart is a few minutes drive down the road. We even took advantage of the recreational field that's walking distance from apartment. Would be good for families that want access to that. You do have to cross the main road to get to it.
Overall, my family had a pleasant stay for a great price for our first time in Vegas. It fit our needs and budget. If you are looking for a neighborhood that is super quiet and away from the city, this might not be for you. It is situated in the city and surrounded by other apartments. But we were gone for most of the day. It was quiet enough at night time. Again, the dog issue is not the hosts' fault but it is something to be mindful of. The host was quick to respond to our questions and provided a comfortable stay.
