We did not meet the host face to face. Instead, we met her representative Ben, who was very pleasant and accommodating. The home was exactly like it was described. We were close to the pool and within walking distance from the Las Vegas Strip - if we chose to walk. We rented a car and had a private covered spot for our car. This was a gated community. The bonus was in the fact that the space was actually bigger than described. ALL updated, clean, and wonderfully decorated. We adhered to the rules which consisted of basic common sense and respect. I would strongly recommend Dana's home to anyone visiting Vegas that doesn't want to mess with a hotel room.
