Loved our stay at Nicole's place! It is off the strip by about 8 min so you do have to pay for going back and forth but the uber/lyft scene is soooo easy and it was very cheap! Our cars arrived within 1-2 min of request and I think it was $6-$8. There is a gas station right around the corner so we walked over to get drinks and snacks easily if we needed. Also across the street is a great pizza place called Roma's, it was good for late nights. Its a great spot!
