My colleague and I stayed at Ari’s listing for 2 nights during a business trip to Vegas. The pros: convenience to our office, easy check-in and parking, heated pool and jacuzzi (although we did not have time to use them), spacious home, giant TVs with chrome cast in every bedroom + living room.
The cons: listing was not set up properly for a business trip, although he mentions it as such - beds had no mattress pads so fitted sheet slipped off during the night exposing the mattress, no hangers in closet, no ironing board or hairdryers in all the bathrooms, some bath towels were old and raggedy + no hand towel provided, no instruction manual for how the TVs worked, garage could not be used to park car, kitchen was still missing some of the basics, including a towel to dry hands, lamps in bedrooms on bedside tables and ceiling fans did not work properly and were overly bright, no coffee machine or basic tea/coffee provided. Also, Ari arrived unannounced a few minutes after we had checked in at around 6:30 pm (we guess he lives nearby and saw the car parked there?). He did show us how to work the pool and spa and asked if we had questions. We asked about hangers which he offered to bring over the next day only, which was one day from us leaving so it was not worth it for us.
All in all, Ari seems like a newer host getting the hang of things. The house was clean, communication was fine, and overall it did the job. Were we wowed or pleasantly surprised? Not at all. We’ve offered Ari some additional tips privately to help improve some aspects of the listing (as my colleague who stayed with me is a Superhost herself). Many previous guests seem to be happy with what he has provided, but if you are a seasoned traveler, or seasoned Airbnb traveler with a level of basic expectations, this might not be the place for you.
