A few hours prior to check-in I spoke with the host, Bill, on the phone and was advised to call back when I was 30 mins away. I did so and he was not available. The person who answered directed me to see someone in room #5 with no instruction on how to enter the gated entrance that had no intercom system or buzzer (be sure to ask for a key to the gate). One of the permanent residents offered to open the gate for us when they saw us standing there; however, they told us the "manager" was not home. We looked for room #5 anyway and, well, room #5 does not exist so I called back and then Bill answered. He was down the street and had to ride his bike over to give us the keys. This wasn't too bothersome, but showed a lack of coordination. Bill was a pleasant person offering suggestions on local restaurants and just plain friendly. The building is small (approx 20 rooms) and appeared very old. It was rectangular with a courtyard in the middle that had overgrown vegetation lining the entire area, even intruding onto the only set of stairs. There were larger apt complexes in front and behind the property. Also a 7-11 and tattoo parlor on the corner, where transients hung out asking for change around the clock. To be fair Vegas has a large transient population so it's difficult to avoid them and the building did require a key to enter. We were a little leery, however, about leaving our car parked outside in the un-gated parking. Luckily we didn't experience a problem with the car. The roomed reeked of cigarettes and the furniture and decor was not what was represented in the photos. It was not bad just different. The studio apt was spacious and contained everything stated in the posting. We weren't bothered during our stay and had no issues that warranted us to contact the host. When we checked out Bill was gracious enough not to make a stink about us leaving 30 mins after check-out time. However, he did not meet us to retrieve the key and inspect the unit. I was directed to leave the keys in a drawer, which meant I could not lock the door. As there were apartments occupied by permanent residents as well as other airbnb renters, I was very uncomfortable leaving the unit unlocked due to the potential liability of someone else causing damage to the room after we left. I will not stay again for this reason.
