The place was clean and the location was fantastic; however, those are the only good things I could say. Well, I guess the communication was also good, considering the host and I exchanged 11 phone calls and multiple text messages in the 4 days I was supposed to be on vacation.
To start, the rental advertisement said we would receive 2 parking spots, but there was only 1.
An electrician had to come out because the power went out in one of the units on 2 separate occasions while I was occupying it . He determined the building has some electrical wiring issues that caused the power to go out. That seems like a major fire hazard that they never got completely fixed. Also, the owner never sent someone out to fix the issue I was having with half of the outlets in both units not working, as he said he would.
It also rained in Las Vegas , and as a result, both units had water leaking into them from the ceiling. There is obviously some roofing work that needs to be done.
This building is clearly old and in need of some work. Also, the tips that the host gave me to keep the power from cutting off again were to not have the air conditioning too low (mind you, the temperature was 100 degrees F every single day of my visit) , to turn the fan setting to “auto” instead of “on” , turn off lights when I’m not using them, and not to run more than a couple of things at once. This is also extremely trivial, ESPECIALLY when you consider what they’re charging to stay here!!!
Even with all the issues , the host informed me I would not receive any compensation and she would instead charge my card $500 because of a smoke smell in the unit. She then tried to gaslight me into thinking she was doing me a favor by ‘only’ charging me $500 instead of $1,000.
Oh, and the cherry on top was she asked for a 5 star review at the end of my stay.
Everything was handled poorly and I do not recommend doing business with her.
