I have to admit this was my first time booking anything other than an entire apartment or house, so of course I was a bit nervous 😬 like is this just going to give me ptsd from college and my early 20’s where people are yelling at each other because they are the other persons cereal, or you can’t sleep because your roommate is throwing an actual rave at 5am and you have to get up in an hour to go to work and the floors are sticky wtf! “”” SNAP OUT OF IT!! Sorry sorry sorry I can still hear the music in my dreams 😭😰I’m ok we’re ok your’re ok that’s was a long time ago!
Location:
10/10
Carlos’s place couldn’t be further from that scenario 😂 It was in a great location to get to anywhere in the city. Just hop right on the highway there and boom! You’re on your way to the strip or the outlets or Utah/Arizona and California . So that’s a plus that doesn’t always get credit.
Directions:
9.9/10 lol
Getting into the place confused me at first but I think it was just late, Carlos had spelled it out pretty easy. I got confused finding building 8 at night but it was easy once I knew were to look.

Couldn’t have been any easier getting into the place, just a code you’re given. You walk in to a clean quiet apartment with a doggie/child gate cutting off the hallway making a direct 4-5 foot path to you bedroom door with a welcome home or welcome guest type sign on the door! It just felt very well welcoming and organized. I don’t want to say “corporate” because that’s not the right word but it didn’t feel like some dude bro let you crash on the couch and forgot to offer you a blanket lol This already eased my Dormroom Demons 😂
There was a key on a lanyard labeled pool & gym so that was nice to know too!
First impressions:
10/10
Walking into the front door and facing the doggie gate so it’s dummy proof of where to go.. you have no choice but to walk into the room in front of you. BUT just before you do you are greeted by two good bois! A cute small yapper doggo that doesn’t actually yap!) and wise majestic medium floof doggo that is there to protect the realm of Man. They don’t require anything but if you let them snoot ur hands and they approve, then you are now lucky enough to give them some head pats and scratches on your way in and out. This gives travelers the invisible cloak of safe travels! But other than that they just hang out in the living room away from the guest room and they only seem to come to the gate to say hi if you want them to or call them! (Which of course I did as much as possible! Lo) so yes first impression was the best lol as for the room itself, couldn’t have asked for a better set up in terms of a room to rent! Just a massive tv mounted on the wall in front of a massive California king sized bed. I’m an adult.. I’m 6 foot 3 and 225 pounds.. so did I jump on the bed? No of course not, they would be rude on someone else’s bed.. but, does Big Tree Fall hard? Big Tree Do! 🐋
There’s the master bedroom type bathroom connected to it that had a mini fridge and a microwave and everything was spotless and
Well organized! There was also an empty walk in closet I was able to use and Organize my clothes and bags! My only tip to guests here is that if you want to take advantage of the closet space for your clothes then maybe bring or buy some cheap $1 store hangers cause I don’t think there was any if I remember right.
Comfortability & Convenience:
10/10 for both!
Bed and bedding was super comfy! Even the carpet in your room was nice and soft on my feet after a long day! (Little things like that matter more than people think) towels clean and soft as well. He also included some extras in thebathroom like hairdryer, straightener and a continuum transfuctioner (Ithink)
Checking out:
10/10 no complaints, I had plans around 11:30/12 so I was leaving right on time. Carlos wasn’t there because of work I believe, but he had a friend come by that was super nice and answered any question I had.
Overall:
I gotta give Carlos a 9.5/10!!
Only thing I’m docking for is there’s some water/mold spots on the ceiling above the shower/bathtub. Full transparency to him and anyone reading this, I would easily do a 10/10 if this was fixed and It’ll be an easy fix too! So it’s our responsibility as guests and hosts to be honest in ourreviews! So that’s all I got here! An amazing first experience for my “private room” listing!
Thanks again Carlos!!!
