Not a great place for families
I will say location was amazing, so close to Boston without the traffic and headache of parking. Also great to have washer/dryer in home. HOWEVER, it was so dirty. There was black hair in the sink and shower. Bath mat was filthy. The toilet takes multiple times to flush even if just #1. Mouse droppings on the top of the hood of the stove. And moths EVERYWHERE. The beds were so noisy every time we rolled over it would wake the baby even with a white noise maker. I even reached out to the owner to let him know how filthy the place was and all he wrote back was “sorry to hear your complaint. The sink was cleaned” Honestly spend your money elsewhere.

Never again
Where should I begin… The peeling wallpaper? The fact that there was chips holes in the walls? The fact that there is exposed wires in the ceiling? Or the fact that there were no smoke detectors in the entire property? Or maybe the fact that the back door was partially broken so that we couldn’t secure it probably had to put a chair against the wall? Or maybe the fact that there was only two glasses in the entire unit for six people? Or maybe the fact that the iron didn’t work? Or that the tub leaked? Not even sure if I’m remembering everything but we have pictures to prove all of this. Just prior to going I got announcement VRBO we no longer be allowing this unit for rent, so why did you let us go to this dump? Would love a refund as it is warranted. We emailed the owner the day we got there to ask why there was no TV in the living room like on the website and showed one. Also they showed a lovely back patio with furniture, but there was nothing there, but a deck no furniture. Really really disappointing .

Awful. Dirt in every room. Grease on every surface in kitchen. Misleading description, if not fraudulent. I would suggest waiting to see if VRBO removes this listing.

Listing was not accurate!!!
I cannot recommend this property as the description was way off! The property was listed as 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom. Sleeps 10. Listing said that there was a couch that someone could sleep on and that each room had a twin and queen size bed. In fact There was one tiny bathroom and 1 full beds in each of the three rooms in the apartment. The couch did not pull out into a bed. We had to go buy an air mattress to get through the night. The beds in the house were low quality: springs were old and worn out. The kitchen floor tile was coming up. Also, there were blinking lights throughout the night in the driveway that we couldn’t stop ….that made us all feel unsafe.

Very Good location close to very good Brazilian restaurants. However, the apartment needs desperately a bit of love from the property manager. Simple things to fix such as toilet shaking, loose kitchen tiles, bathroom sealant, enough spare paper toilet.

Terrible A/C, "hidden" cameras, poor communication
We would NEVER stay here again. First off, in 110° weather, they have the air conditioning programmed to turn off between 8:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. - you will roast ALL night. No one could sleep and there was no air flow. The coolest they allow it to get during the day is 75°, which still isn't comfortable. They've taken the hardware out of the window so they will not stay open (It probably wouldn't have helped anyway), they have locked up the thermostats so you can't change it, the downstairs fan won't turn on without the light so you can't even sleep there. The RUBBER SHEETS they put on all the FULL sized beds made it even worse, because they don't breathe. If I could attach a screenshot, I would, but the property manager would not take my calls or texts. I sent four text messages and never even got a single reply. They do not care about your stay, only about your money - remember that before you book. The rug in the main room is so old and tattered that we were worried that the older people staying with us were going to trip on it and fall. There are holes all over in the walls, the TV antenna is just slapped to the wall with masking tape, and hell, feel free to put a hand towel in the bathroom downstairs so you can actually dry your hands on something other than toilet paper. They've also taped a small sign to the front door that says you are being video recorded and that you won't be able to see the cameras, I'm pretty sure they have to tell you that before you book. It made everybody uncomfortable not knowing where the cameras were. Not recommended, and if the landlord even decides to reply back, I will guarantee you it will be an excuse or that they don't understand what I'm asking. We also took full video and photos of the entire place before and after, Because we know how landlords like this work. If I were the owner of this property, I would fire this landlord immediately. He is costing you money and future business.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway with Friends
The house was everything it said it was. Cute decor, clean, and relatively close to the strip. This was my first time renting a house, so I was a little nervous, but everything went off without a hitch! Easy checkin. We had a group and everyone had enough space and room to spread out. Was nice to be able to take our time, hang out in the morning, and make our own breakfast before heading out. Easy to get a Lyft/Uber from the property and back (I would say 15 minute drive to/from Strip - Little more for Freemont). Overall, great experience and we hope to be back soon!

all as described
Spacious house, all exactly as described. The reason I am giving only four stars is the super strict house policy (no shoes, check-out already at 10:00, check-in only at 16:00), the plastic shower curtains, the lack of TV channels.

Change at last minute!
We made reservation for 2 different dates. First was ok. House is located in a beautiful neighborhood and the house was beautiful. Problem was that a last minute, even when we did payment for both reservations several weeks before, they change us the second reservation to another house. Second house was located in a old neighborhood and it was an old house. I may said that the price we paid was not according to that house. We wrote to the owner that we were not so happy with the change but never got an answer!
