I was only there for a day (visiting a loved one), arrived at Vegas early on Saturday and left early on Sunday. So I didn't really spend much time in the room/house since I was out and about pretty much the whole day (which I assume is the same for most folks who visit Vegas).
With that said, check in was at 3pm but I received a message from the host at 12 pm with the key code and check-in instructions. Just in case I wanted to check in early, drop my bags off, take a nap, etc. I never asked the host to check in early, and I was busy at the time he/she messaged me, so I ended up checking in right at 3pm. However I thought it was super awesome that I was given that opportunity. If you've ever arrived at your destination early, and have to walk around with your luggage for half the day...well its no fun. If you've been there you know what I'm talking about. Anyways the point is that for starters, we started the day on a super high note! 5/5
Next, I only reserved the room for 1 person. As the person I was visiting has her own place so she wasn't planning on staying over, but she picked me up from the airport at 6am, I had been up since 2am, and we were both pretty tired by 3pm/check in time. So we took a 2 hour nap when we arrived, got up, changed and left by 6pm. I messaged the host to ask if this was okay, he/she said it was okay and I didn't get charged extra. I know she was just over for 3 hours so not really a big deal, but HUGE shout out to the host for 1) being okay with that and 2) not charging me extra. For future trips I will add 2 people just in case, but once again we continued on a high note!
Nothing else happened after that. I was out on the strip from the time we left until 3am, my flight left at 5am so I just came back to pick up my things and leave. Didn't even spend the night, but the bed was pretty comfortable when I took a nap earlier in the day so 5/5 on that end as well. Overall great experience, great host, and if you're not picky (I'll explain below) I would highly recommend!!
Pros:
-Awesome host, great communication, and pretty close to the strip.
-It was a bit pricey ($79.88), but I checked all the hotels nearby before opening the airbnb app, and this place (for the holiday season) was a steal!
-Add to that how chill the host was, as well as the early check-in option, and I would highly recommend this place!! 5/5 experience for me
Cons:
-Not really a con, because the listing states that you share a bathroom with one other person/room. So you know this going in beforehand. But I thought I'd add it here for sake of completeness. On that same note I saw that they had a bigger, more private room with its own bathroom across the hall from my room, so if you're a couple (or just want more privacy) I would go for that room instead. If its available next time I'm in town, that's definitely where I'm staying.
-The last con is that the flooring, stairs, and even the bed itself is extremely squeaky...like super squeaky lol. Low key probably the squeakiest place I've ever stayed at. If you move at all throughout the night and/or are a light sleeper like I, it might just wake you up at night. However I was so tired when I checked in that I knocked out cold as soon as my head touched the sheets; my loved one said the same thing. Once we woke up and started getting ready though...we knew exactly where everyone in the house was at lol. You can hear anytime someone goes up or down the stairs, in our out of their rooms, when they walk to the bathroom, and so forth. Once again I add this for completeness sake, if you don't mind this then it doesn't even matter. I personally didn't care (not like I was buying the house), and taking into consideration everything else I've said above, I would book this place again in a heartbeat!
Thanks again for everything Sagerube and happy holidays!
