Overall, the stay was not bad. With a group of 8, we had a varying range of what was good and bad with the place.
1. The host(s) - Both Angel and Algiers were very responsive to our requests/needs. They allowed us to check-in early (we ended up not needing to), they responded to all of our requests (including the need for additional blankets). They were extremely accommodating and helpful. They had water in the fridge when we arrived, wifi, and the home was clean-ish (5/5).
2. The location - This was originally a 5/5 in my book. We were minutes from the strip, minutes from downtown Vegas, and a few minutes from the airport. We were literally close to everything. I LOVE Asian cuisine so I was stoked about being in Chinatown, but unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to eat anywhere nearby. We were able to get our nails done at a shop nearby (4 minutes), and grocery/liquor stores were a minute or two away. We DID adhere to the rules regarding no loud noise, but we were not aware that the city doesn't have a noise ordinance, so the NEIGHBORS threw a really loud and obnoxious party that went on until... I don't even know what time it ended, we eventually fell asleep at 2 am. The music was so loud that our walls shook with the vibration. I know the host(s) can't control the neighbors, but I see no need for the "no loud noise" rule if this isn't a neighborhood rule. We also had someone come to the home two mornings in a row to retrieve jetskis. Even though it's their house and their jetskis, we weren't expecting anyone and was startled from the person being right outside the window (4/5).
3. Amenities - For the most part these were ok. But, there is always room for improvement. The towels...they were small and thin. I think they should be at least hotel grade towels. We washed them every 2 days and they didn't get any softer or bigger with the wash.
The beds did not have any top sheets and the blanket that was provided was more like a throw for a toddler. Being that we booked for 8 ADULTS it would have been nice to have better bedding at the start of the trip. The first night, we fought over that lil cover. They did bring us blankets the next day and that was better. But in my opinion, the bed should have a top sheet and a blanket to start. Again, hotel grade.
Speaking of the beds...they were not super comfortable. One of the beds in the guest rooms was broken and we had to find a way to keep the rail up (under the bed). In my opinion, the host(s) should invest in some better frames to hold body weight a little better. At times, the bed almost felt like it would fall under our weight and it would have been perfect for a toddler (although we are not extremely heavy). My hubs did try to straighten the feet under our bed to level it off, to no avail. When we laid in it, the feet went awry again. I think a rug under the beds would help this.
We also had a stopped up toilet in the 2nd bathroom (guest ensuite) and my hubs had to find the plunger to clear it. That sink also drained really slow and in a hotel I would have switched rooms for that.
The kitchen was mostly equipped for cooking; however, we could not use the oven (it appeared to be some sort of cleaner and/or debris was left in the oven and we didn't know if it would burn), we had to clean the stove before we used it, and we had to wash most of the dishes before using them (wash, not rinse). I had some clean freaks with me who would have washed them anyway, but one dish specifically I remember being greasy and grimy before using it, which was a lil gross. The kitchen did have plenty of seasonings and some sauces on hand, so this was a plus. We also baked our biscuits in the toaster oven since we couldn't use the oven. So it wasn't a complete fail.
I know I have seen this on other reviews but the water!!!! Ok, I was ok with the faucets being on backwards, but I was not expecting the hot water to run out so quickly. We did eventually manage by juggling shower times and taking shorter showers, but I would suggest either a bigger hot water tank, or a tankless heater, if you are going to host 8 people at a time. The hot water and having to take a tepid/cool shower rubbed me the wrong way considering some days we had to take 2 showers a day (it was freakin hot in Vegas).
Lastly, I enjoyed the backyard, with the exception of the neighbors 2 big dogs who barked all the time, the obnoxious party at the other neighbors, and the cheap flimsy furniture. Ok, I almost fell trying to sit at the plastic picnic table. Seriously, that thing is a hazard. But the yard was nice and big, there were games in the backyard and inside (which we did not play), and we could see many of the fireworks on the strip from the back (3/5).
As I stated, we had a total of 8 adults and everyone had an opinion. BUT for the price, it was a great value and after we worked out some initial kinks with the AC and towels, we were good to go. But I would say, there are some ways that the property could be improved upon to make it a 10/10.
