If you like safety and quiet, this is your place. The casita is in a gated community and there is only one way in, either by car or by foot, and there is a guard there checking entrants 24-hours a day. The casita is completely detached from the main house so there is no concern about sound going through walls. I had no noise issues at all while I was there; in fact, it was dead quiet all of the time. I also felt that this property provided excellent value and was exceptionally close to Red Rock Canyon; the purpose of my trip was to do multiple hikes there. There is a refrigerator, microwave, and a coffee maker, so you should be able to make breakfasts and lunch, but dinners would be more challenging. I always had breakfast at the condo, packed snacks for lunch during my hikes, and then used rideshare to go to Tivoli Village for Hop Nuts Brewing and one of the restaurants for dinner. Echo and Rig is a fantastic restaurant. (You should call the guard to give him or her a heads-up when you're using rideshare.) There are a few minor maintenance items that I have notified the owner about and those will likely be fixed before your stay. The owner will call the guard gate to put you on an authorized entry list, which makes entry into the community very quick and painless.
