Ok, I am going to be brutally honest in my review. I'll start with a summary:
- Overall, probably worth it if you're on a tight budget (and strip hotels aren't cheaper)
- Decent location (great for NBA summer league)
- Pretty clean
- Still, has many cons and in many parts this place is falling apart or could use major improvements.
- Sound from outside makes it hard to sleep without earplugs.
This is place is far from perfect. But if you're on a budget, it's one of your few options. 3 of us stayed here without any major issues. I'll detail the pros and cons below.
Pros:
- Apartment is pretty clean. No complaints there.
- Leo himself is a great host and is very responsive and accommodating.
- Floors look nice, apartment has all the essentials you need.
- In the closet there are extra mattresses, pillows, blankets and bedsheets which was unexpected and very appreciated.
- Check in is easy and there's a number-pad lock.
- Parking is not on the street and close to the apartment.
- Wi-Fi was good.
Cons:
- Sound proofing is nonexistent here. You can hear cars, people, and worst of all planes going by all day all night. Be prepared to invest in some earplugs. The planes especially were extremely loud.
- The bedroom is MUCH hotter than the living room. It was too hot for us, so we all just moved 2 mattresses and slept in the living room. One friend slept on the couch.
- Silverware, plates, bowls, etc. in the kitchen look like they were bought second hand or something. Just a random assortment of stuff that clearly didn't come together. Honestly, I felt like a lot of things here were bought from a thrift store.
- Futon was kind of falling apart
- TV is super old and extremely small, no Roku/Amazon fire stick or anything like that. You can literally find TV's for $50 better than the one that's there.
- Bathtub knobs are really confusing and annoying, honestly. You get used to it but most people who only stay for a few days will not. There are 3 knobs and I still don't know which one did what.
- Walls are cracking and chipping everywhere.
- No security at the apartment, and not the safest-feeling area of Vegas.
- The towels we had were just gross. Hair and dirt and stuff in all of them. I had to use it for the first night BUT Leo came and dropped off some new ones which was very much appreciated! He's very accommodating.
OVERALL, you get what you pay for. There are certainly a good amount of cons, but this place still has value. However, I can't say that I would recommend it to anyone. Looking back, I would have spent a bit more and stayed somewhere nicer, especially since we had a rental car. But if you're on a tight budget, this is one of the few places that is this cheap, and it is probably good enough for most people.
