We stayed at Mark's place as part of an extended winter road trip with our small dogs and packed car.
We appreciated:
- Pet friendly unit
- Dedicated secure parking space close to the unit
- Basic set-up (1 BR suite in an out building near the back of a residential property - quite private and quiet)
- Overall value
- West of strip residential neighbourhood (easy access to all Vegas has to offer, particularly if you have a car) - liked being able to check out local restaurants
- In suite laundry facilities
- Clear communication from Mark via the Airbnb platform
Areas for improvement:
- Unit completely lacks charm (drab brown decor with some maintenance and cleaning issues) - small decorative touches (e.g., some brighter colours, better pictures and bedside tables) and some better maintenance (e.g., repair holes in wall, organize cords dangling from the TV) and fine-tuning of the cleaning (e.g., dusting, fridge) could make this unit so much better
- Didn't love the signage threatening fines for non-compliance with rules (I am a host too and completely get the need for rules, but the format and wording didn't set a great tone)
- Toaster in the kitchen would have been a nice addition
This unit serves a purpose for a subset of Vegas visitors and to that end I recommend it. I crave for Mark to make it just a bit better, maybe to invite an insightful friend to stay the weekend and give him some critical feedback.
