I’m not really sure how this house has 5 stars, unless people’s expectations are just that low.

I would give this house a 1.5 stars if that was an option.

Cleanliness:
Dust bunnies are rather obvious if you look up (Vents are filthy), so I suggest not looking up. There were several sightings of a mouse (or mice?) in the kitchen. The gated entry on the side of the house looks like a landfill of where everything goes that doesn’t have a spot. The pool area is in major need of weed control, and there is water coming out of the concrete? Shades in the living room have a stain, and the blinds don’t operate correctly. Garage had stuff laying around, barely room for the rental car.

Neighborhood:
People blaring music all night long on a regular basis, and this house isn’t very good at keeping sound out.

Safety:
This home has an ADT security system, which is a great idea in Vegas. The problem is that the system apparently needs a new battery, so it woke us up several times at 4:00AM to let us know that. Also, it’s default configuration is to continuously beep anytime someone opens a door (Rather annoying), but fortunately Eric was able to help us turn off that feature. The front door has a keypad deadbolt, but there is no latch on the door handle itself, so the only way to keep the door shut is to deadbolt it every time. One of the bedrooms didn’t have a smoke alarm (across from the bathroom) and either did the family room (whether the others worked or not, I don’t know).

Accessibility:
The listing shows there are no steps into the entry of the house, unfortunately there is a 2-3 inch step which causes an issue for a wheelchair user (or someone with a walker). The bathrooms are also really small, so don’t expect to be able to close the door if you enter with a wheelchair.

Usability:
Kitchen range was nice, looked newish. There was silverware and other utensils about. The oven didn’t work well and just tended to burn things (looks like it might be from the 1970s?) The grill provided was out of gas so we didn’t get to try that. TV works, not many channels, and the Roku was disconnected (I fixed that).

Host:
Eric seems nice enough, and quickly responds to messages, but I feel like this house is a little neglected.

Overall:
The house is older, and needs some TLC.
