We had a generally clean and affordable place in a safe part of town to rest our heads, and for that I am grateful! In comparison to other Airbnb's I have stayed at, however, I was a bit disappointed and didn't feel it was worth the money. Reasons for my review below:
- The gate code we were given didn't work, and so we had a hard time finding the place when we first arrived. It was midnight, so that was a little rough. We ended up finding a back entrance and just using that instead.
- There was no user guide besides a piece of paper with some basic information. I suppose I've gotten used to this staple of Airbnb's, and would have really benefited from some information about the apartment community itself and the surrounding area.
- There were hardly any clean dishes or silverware - the dishwasher had dirty dishes and silverware in it.
- A few "basics" missing, such as dish towels and Kleenex.
- The bed was comfortable (I slept great!) but it wasn't made up with a comforter, which seemed a little weird. We found blankets in the closet, so that wasn't a problem, but I'm not sure there would be enough if 3 people stayed here.
- We were looking forward to using the gym, but didn't find one anywhere in the apartment community (and if there was one we didn't know where to look). The pool was locked and we did not know how to get in, as there weren't any instructions.
I wanted to avoid paying big bucks at a hotel and get more space for a better rate (which usually works wonderfully for me through Airbnb!) but I have heard that good Airbnb's in Vegas are hard to find. Next time I'll probably just pay the extra money and book a hotel. That being said, we are thankful that Susel allowed us to stay in her home. It is in a safe part of town, and a very convenient area. It wasn't necessarily a negative experience, but I think a few changes could make a world of difference.
A tip if you do stay here: I suggest bringing your own drinking water, or buying some immediately. This has nothing to do with Susel's place - it's just that Vegas tap water tastes terrible in general. It would be a huge plus if a few bottles were included, though!
