Pictures don't do this place justice - its better in person and more. This place is all about the details and heart put into this treasure of a las vegas airbnb in the following aspects - design, service/charm/thoughtfulness, utility and comfort. This location has a boutique hotel feel in a single family home. Many middle-upper tier priced airbnb's such as this in Las Vegas lean on the side of utilitarian, but this single-story airbnb adds a good amount interior design and architectural sense that makes it look more like a flipped home made into a staged model home (that's a good thing).
It houses furniture that has mid-century modern flair and the golden design soul of its owners in every room from the way the uniquely design potted plants sprinkle the home to golden cougars to the antique cameras to the himalayan salt stones to the choice of architecture books laid throughout, it demonstrates a good amount of culture and refinement that the owners wanted to inject into the location. Not to mention the owner is an architect, so it make this stay even better.
From a practical point of view, lets start with the bedrooms - many airbnbs choose cheap mattresses with cheap bedframes. This is not the case here. The bedrooms have memory foam mattresses (doesn't feel cheap) that are comfortable and stylish bedframes and nightstands that you would expect to see in a West Elm or CB2 catalogue. Each room has its own character and color scheme.
The pool area is very nice with its waterfall feature and heated pool and has a clean and manicured backyard.
In terms of amenities from the kitchen to closet, it has everything you need from cookware to diningware, towels to cleaning materials. TVs are fairly updated (samsungs) with smart TV functionality.
There is a sense of user-centric design here. An example is the hdmi cable in one of the desk drawers next to the tv, high-speed wifi or the lutron-style dimmers for your bedroom to the carefully curated tea/coffee selection. This is hotel-standard hospitality with more soul and detail.
Some areas of slight improvement, but not a big deal.... The bathrooms are decent, but could use a bit of an update. Same goes for the exterior of the home, but you barely notice it as you mostly see the inside during your stay.
Location wise, you are very close to a supermarket (Smiths) and access to parks (sunset park), the strip, and other key locations are a short drive away.
Now down to the host, Namyd, who is the best starting and ending point of my trip during New Years. He is extremely acommodating, friendly and always available to help with whatever you need in a detailed manner, including giving advice on local places to check out, how to use the home and even real estate to consider if you plan to live in Vegas. Namyd was quite generous when they specially brought in baby toys and high chair for our child specifically for our stay along with a welcome basket. Fantastic!
Overall, our family had a blast in this location, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stay in Vegas.
