Ruben was extremely nice and welcoming. We felt comfortable in the spacious bedroom.
Below are some of the notes I wrote regarding property location, cleanliness, and value. I would've appreciated reading my notes before deciding to book my stay.
Please note, I'm not looking to knock ruben or his place. I just want to be as accurate as possible to inform future Airbnb guests.
There was some hair on the bed sheets. There was one long hair bundle by pillows and smaller hair pieces near the bottom of the mattress. The sheets smelled and appeared to be clean otherwise.
Ruben listed the property as 20 minutes from strip. It took us twenty minutes some of the time. It took up to 30 minutes other times. I would list this property as being 20-30 minutes from strip depending on time and location traveling to or from from strip. It was frustrating at points.
I should've checked the rates of hotels on the strip before booking with Ruben. I did later find hotels on the strip only for $10 more for the dates we traveled (that price included the resort fee of the hotel). I kicked myself a little after. However, the room we stayed in was extremely spacious and comfortable, especially the bed. Also, we shared a common wall with other airbnb guests. They were nice, but we felt we had to be really quiet at night cause they were right next door.
The area was pretty far from strip. We did lots of driving. We spent a lot of money on gas going to and from. We went to the strip for the day and then returned in evening to get ready for the night time activities. We were driving close to two hours a day to get to where we needed to go. The amount we spent on gas would've got us a room on the strip.
Overall, we went to Vegas wanting to explore the strip. Traveling to the strip was frustrating at points due to the excessive amount of street lights and duration of time having to wait for the traffic lights to change and the traffic on the freeway. That was my biggest gripe. I was frustrated because I thought, 20 minutes, no biggie, but sometimes it took 30 minutes! Ugh! Frustrating.
On a positive note, the bed was super huge and super comfy. It offered a spacious closet and bathroom. Overall, we were comfortable while sleeping and getting ready!
