I live in Boulder, Colorado and play in baseball tournaments in California, Nevada and Arizona throughout the year. As someone who dislikes staying in hotels and who prefers to prepare my own meals, I try to stay in private homes wherever I go. Of all the places I have stayed this was easily the best.

Qiana and John and terrific hosts and bent over backwards to be welcoming and accommodating. They have spared no expense in making their place comfortable and well-equipped, right down to the orange juice and bottles of water stocked in the fridge. The Roku setup on the three TVs is excellent, the Internet service is first-rate, and having access to a private garage was very nice, especially since it gave me a secure place to keep my mountain bike. And as a ball player, being able to throw my uniform in the washer after a game was a welcome luxury (and, of course, laundry soap was supplied).

I really can't say enough positive things about Qiana and John and their outstanding home, but will end by saying that I am looking foreword to staying in this "home away from home" each time I have an occasion to visit the Las Vegas area.
