Hi all! My immediate family (parents & siblings) and I went to Vegas for my cousins wedding.
When we first arrived, Randy was there to greet us and show us around the place. He explained where the stuff I asked for was at and told us to feel free to use everything in the kitchen, etc. For the most part, our stay at Randy’s place was good. He gave my family and I tips on how to avoid traffic around construction, where the nearest grocery was at and invited me to bring my cousins to the club he worked at. He was very talkative and nice. Everything was clean and he had lots of extra linen and towels for us to use if needed.
However, the part that my family felt uncomfortable with was the fact that Randy actually stayed in the house with his bedroom right across (our doors faced each other) from our bedrooms. My parents also weren’t okay with the fact that because Randy works over night, he asked us if we could please keep it down the next morning because he would be sleeping in. Therefore, my family was trying to talk quietly and keep my little 5yr old brother from running around playing the next morning. My mom didn’t feel comfortable to wear her lounging clothes and didn’t like that Randy hung out in the living room (eating/watching tv) while we were there. I didn’t want my family to feel uncomfortable but there wasn’t much for me to do. It’s the first time from many of my previous Airbnb experiences with my friends, where the host actually stays in the same space and so close, to where we are and so I thought it was a bit awkward as well. Although Randy told us to feel free to use/grab all the cooking seasonings, snacks in the kitchen, a lot of the stuff was far back expired and needs to be thrown out.
Don’t get me wrong, if you’re comfortable with sharing the same space during your stay, by all means, stay here. It’s a nice and roomy home in a great location within a clean neighborhood, near the grocery store, gas station, restaurants & fast food, with great AC for this hot weather and about 10-15mins from the strip.
