Julio's place was perfect for visiting a few days at Red Rock Canyon. It's beautiful, it's clean, the entryway in the backyard is very private, he has security cameras around so we were able to lock our bikes on the private back porch and felt safe doing that. My friend had a Zoom meeting and he had great Wi-Fi for that . I hung out on the porch which is really nice and shady. The price is very affordable and he doesn't gouge you with all the extra cleaning fees. So it still a much better price than hotels unlike most of the airbnb's now. We didn't need to communicate so I can't comment on how communication was. You are living in someone's house so you should expect to hear the typical noises. And the are two little dogs you might see or hear briefly as well. The mattess is really nice thick memory foam. Great hot water in the shower and we were very thankful to have access to a washer and dryer.
