Guest stories
wonderful clean place in a beautiful area of reno! after almost a week on the road this is exactly what we needed. thank you james for being a wonderful host and for letting us use your beautiful space.
nice little spot to kick back & rest. was traveling through & got to enjoy a hot bath. big plus after a day of driving!
We had an absolutely incredible stay at James’s place! When we arrived, there was a sign on the door wishing my husband a happy 50th birthday. Upon entering, we were greeted with champagne, cupcakes, balloons, and a card. My husband was very pleased and deeply appreciated all the thought and work that went into it. The outdoor space was fantastic—we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit on the patio listening to the lovely sound of the water feature. It was so incredibly relaxing that we actually wound up spending more time hanging out inside our Airbnb than we did out! The property was exceptionally clean, inviting, quiet, and very well laid out. You can tell a lot of love and care went into designing it. We will definitely be back in the future if we're lucky enough to find it isn't completely booked up. Highly recommend!
Great stay looks even better in person then photos and very clean
Super comfortable and great space! Heavy duvet that made the bed all the more comfortable and homey. Central heating was on point! Whole time we were relaxed and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with pans and plates! Which we didn’t expect and brought our own, but we sure did use everything provided, down to the bath bomb! And that bathtub! My goodness! Fit both me and my husband! Perfectly. Will stay again!
We had a wonderful stay! The home was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The experience was smooth from beginning to end, and we truly appreciated the hospitality. Everything made us feel right at home. We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back again. Thank you for making our stay a great one!
I really enjoyed my time here. The host was amazing at responding back to us. The house felt so cozy and warm 🥰
James place is located in a quiet neighborhood. The keypad was semi-difficult at first. Instructions were provided but it didn't flow as easy when actually trying to get in. Once inside you're in a small room that is the lobby area to one of two rooms. Using my code I entered my Asian Zen room. Photos matched what it looked like. There were comments about noise of planes being near the airport. I rarely heard those or cars but I did hear cars from time to time but not often and not loudly. Shower is a bit cramped but they do provide shampoo, conditioner and body wash (dollar store quality). The jacuzzi tub was great to use after you figure out the heat of the water (explained in the instructions). Plenty of towels. Bed was comfy. You can connect your accounts to the TV to watch Netflix and other streaming services. Parking in the driveway or on the street. Near places to eat and the Nugget. Good for a night or two.
Communication was really easy. I had slight difficulty finding the unit, but I was helped promptly. I stayed for 7 days, and the kitchen was well equipped. Furniture is sufficient. Near several bus stops. No complaints. Would book this place again if I ever visited Reno. Do bring earplugs if you are sensitive to noise. Thank you so much, James!
Had a very unique experience staying in this property! I was only there one night and didn’t get to take full advantage of the unique movie theater atmosphere, I intend on returning and spending a week. Walking distance two several excellent restaurants. The shower and bed was wonderful. I will be back.
The pictures don't do it justice! Such a cozy little spot in a great location! The two minute walk from Pangolin Cafe in the morning for some espresso was so nice! I really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub once I got the hot water to work following James's instructions. The only issue I ran into was trying to get the hot water in the shower to work, normally I would reach out, but it had gotten late and I didn't care enough to troubleshoot it and opted to go to bed. James was great at communicating, so I'm sure if I had reached out I could have figured it out. All in all this is a great place, especially for the price! I usually stay at one of the casinos when I'm in town, but I think this will be my new go-to! It definitely beats the paper thin walls and all night noise at th casino.
Completely happy with my stay at James suite….everything was there as was described as soon as I walked in. Had a question upon check in and received responsive, clear answer. Felt very welcome. Peaceful setting and quiet throughout my stay….i’d definitely rebook without hesitation. Everyone should check it out….it will make you smile!! Thanks James!!!
Such a fun staycation for our anniversary! Location is perfect - walking distance to everything. The apartment is so cute, spacious and comfortable. The host was super responsive and all instructions were clear. We barely left as we just wanted to enjoy the movie theater set up! Recommended this place to friends and family for the next time they visit.
Always a Great stay ! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place to stay when in town 💯 such a unique environment just as pictured! I promise you won’t be disappointed when booking this beautiful Airbnb
This was a great stay, and just what we needed! The location is amazing and so close to so many fun things. We got to meet Jillian when she helped us out with a quick battery change in the door lock pad, and she was absolutely wonderful. The spa and sauna were an oasis after a long day of travel, we are so grateful to have been able to stay in the Tahoe retreat!
One of the funnest air bnb homes we’ve stayed in. The Tiki beach theme was so cool and the water fountain topped it! Very safe neighborhood, off street parking. Very spacious for us two. Comfy bed. James was great with communications and helpful throughout our stay. If this unit is available when we return to the area, we’ll be staying again.
10/10! I can’t say enough good things about this place ! it’s genuinely my go-to every single time I visit. The photos are 100% accurate, the space is fantastic, and the hosts go above and beyond. I’m never disappointed. Highly, highly recommend!
Booked on a last minute trip through the area and was pleasantly surprised with how it was all done up on the interior. The decorations and whole vibe was fun and enjoyable. Very detailed check in guide that had pretty much any and all answers to questions one may have. The hot water for the shower was a bit difficult to figure out but once managed it would stay nice and hot. Appreciate the snacks and coffee that were left for guests as well.
I really enjoyed staying at James' place. He is a very responsive host and very easy to communicate. The place is very clean and organized, I would stay again. Thanks James!
This little studio was so fun and detail oriented! It’s everything the description and reviews say, including the retro PacMan. Even though it was surrounded by other homes, it still felt private because of the window shades and the neighbors were very curteous and friendly. James answered questions before we had them and made it known he was available if needed.
Not my first time staying at one of this host's properties, and it won't be my last. Consistently clean, comfortable, and easy from check-in to check-out. This host just knows how to take care of guests. Highly recommend!
I had a great stay! The place was beautifully decorated, very clean, and looked exactly as pictured. Everything was neat, comfortable, and well taken care of. You can tell the host put a lot of thought into making the space feel welcoming and cozy. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
I stayed in the Art Deco flat for one night and it was perfect for my needs: clean, comfortable, quiet and well-supplied. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay! The Airbnb was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The host was extremely responsive and made sure everything was easy and stress-free throughout my stay. And for that, I will be forever grateful because my life has been nothing but stressed so it was nice to be able to sit down and relax. I also felt safe and comfortable, which is very important to me. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay. I’ll definitely be back! ❤️ Thank you, James!
Nicer than the pictures completly private little standalone apartment. Giant movie screen ís so much fun And the popcorn machine makes really good movie theater popcorn! True sprit of Airbnb 6 stars hats off!
We had a wonderful stay. James went above and beyond to help us celebrate our 30 Anniversary with a last minute reservation. Thank you! The place was clean, quiet and cute and comfortable. We would stay again.
I travel to Reno often for work. I stayed here for five nights. It was amazing. Great location felt safe and community. The pool in the hot tub were great. The unit was super clean. I was very happy with my choice.
Calm neighborhood, very modern amenities, and a beautiful setup. We ordered the anniversary package and the amount of care and personalization made it a beautiful experience. Highly recommend James's little oasis escape in Reno
Place was incredible. Very responsive host, immaculately clean, in a gated complex access to pool, hot tub and gym. Would recommend to anybody coming to the area . And will definitely be booking with them again my next time in the area!!!
Was in Reno to visit friends and family and staying here was perfect and peaceful. Everything was exactly as described, nice, and clean welcoming space. Great location with lots of stuff nearby.
had a wonderful stay! The place was exceptionally clean from the moment we arrived, and everything was well-maintained and organized. It was also incredibly comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The bed was comfortable, the space was inviting, and it had everything i needed for a relaxing stay. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable Airbnb experience!
We came to Reno for the boneyard softball tournament that happens in July, it was a perfect space for myself spouse, daughter and two friends. It was perfectly located in between the 3 fields boneyard is held at. The location is right next to Winco, and a few different food places. Not far from downtown Reno, casinos etc. The place had all of the amenities we needed, especially the pool and hot tub for my teenage daughter and friends! Also a washer and dryer which is always a plus on vacation. The house was tidy, and everything looked new and not outdated!! We would stay here again!! Also the host and cohost are very responsive!!
We truly appreciated how clean and spacious our space was. There was so much to do close by which was a great bonus considering our lovely pregnant friend is 7 months pregnant and tired. It also felt very safe and the sunset view was beautiful. This space made our girls trip very memorable!!
I think it is so clever what you have done hosting with airbnb. Each room is so unique and creative I stayed in the beach house one it was absolutely wonderful peaceful I most definitely will be exploring the other amazing rooms that James has to offer thank you so much I couldn't have asked her a better experience
We booked James’s Zen Den for a short getaway and it was absolutely worth every penny. I have booked other AirBnB’s with James before and they always exceed my expectations. Not only was this one of the most romantic and peaceful places I’ve ever stayed, it was a great deal for what you get to experience and James was an incredible host who was there for any questions or concerns we had. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice getaway or something unique while they’re in town.
Absolutely loved this Airbnb! The Asian zen theme was so cute and thoughtfully put together. Every little detail made the space feel peaceful and unique. The sound of the running water created such a relaxing vibe—it honestly felt like a mini retreat. Everything was clean, cozy, and exactly what I needed to unwind. Would definitely stay here again!
This place was really cozy and perfect for 2 people. It's right in the middle of Reno so nothing is too far away. The area was nice and easy to get to. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to stay in Reno.
Great stay at James’s apartment—clean, comfortable, and well-located. Everything matched the listing. Only suggestion is to make the check-in instructions a bit clearer. Otherwise, excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.
This was the perfect place to stay while visiting from out of town for a basketball tournament. I noticed that all the complaints from previous guests had been addressed. We were given very clear instructions on finding the unit, and blackout curtains had been installed, which was very appreciated since the lights outside are REALLY bright. The place was very clean, we were grateful for the full kitchen and washer and dryer(with provided detergent) to wash stinky boys clothes after a long day. We were able to walk to get groceries and restaurants. (the Thai place across the street is really good). And only 8 minutes to downtown!
We HIGHLY recommend this condo!!! The location is phenomenal, literally walking distance to shopping center for groceries, 5Below & more plus right off major highways. Only 35-40 min gorgeous scenic drive to Lake Tahoe. Condo is clean, modern, open layout, 2 Large flat screen TV’s & Loved the LED’s under master bed for a fun touch. Offers amazing amenities with brand new workout room, Yoga/stretching room, sauna, outdoor pool & hot tub. Had issue w/key fob not working but James responded & they brought new one quickly. The office staff was also very nice & accommodating unlocking gym for us when key fob didn’t work. Sadly hot tub & pool were being maintenanced during our stay, so we didn’t get to use them. 1st floor condo faces inward but patio has a partial Mountain View. Overall would give this Condo & Owners a 5🌟 rating.
Well appointed, cozy apartment walking distance from the GSR, and a short drive from both midtown and the airport. On a quiet street, easy parking, great spot, great deal.
Comfortable & secure. Great bed for our quick overnight. Super nice kitchen..very well appointed and beautiful bathroom. Nice to have a dedicated parking space. We would stay again!
It was a comfy lil spot, close to downtown so saved us alot of time. Checked out late due to the worst hangover and they completely understood. The place was clean and comfy esp the bed! Would def come back again
The place is pretty well located and the kitchen has everything that you need for a short stay. You have a lot hung close including the airport I recommend this place for a couple or a single person
This was a really nice AirBnB. Host was very responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. The unit was super clean. Location was perfect for Reno. Everything was as listed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Reno!
The Zen Den oozed relaxation. One felt like they could just step into the wallpaper mural and begin an adventure! The snacks and little candies were appreciated as well. Very simple and clean and perfectly themed. It was just what we needed for a relaxing getaway.
We are local so when we do book Airbnb we seek out James' properties because of the cleanliness prompt responses and smooth check ins. there's never any inconvenient surprises just all around a enjoyable experience!
Perfect place to stay at for a quick trip to Reno. Near the airport and food locations. Place was just as described. Easy to find and simple instructions to check in.
Beautiful, peaceful space. Definitely a hidden gem that’s well worth visiting. Just wonderful!
We absolutely loved our stay at this Game Zone Airbnb! The space was super cute, clean, and full of character. The decorations were amazing and brought back so much nostalgia—it really felt like stepping into a fun retro gaming paradise. One of our favorite parts was the Pac-Man arcade machine. We spent a lot of time playing and had such a great time reliving those classic gaming memories. Every detail of the space was thoughtfully designed, making it both fun and comfortable.
Super cute spot! Great for a night escape or a weekend getaway.
It’s always a pleasure to stay at any of the host’s properties. I’ll definitely be back!
We absolutely loved our stay! The property was charming, especially the adorable courtyard with its hot tub, peaceful fountain, and infrared sauna—such a relaxing retreat. The kitchen, though compact, was so well-equipped and efficient that we even managed to cook boiled eggs and apple sauce for our contribution to Thanksgiving dinner! The hosts truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and were incredibly responsive to any questions or needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommend!
James place was a great place to stay. I definitely felt comfortable and at home. I look forward to staying here in the future. Highly recommended
Came to Reno just to watch a UFC event and I stayed here for one night. The place is easy to find, parking wasn't too difficult. I was lucky to find parking right in the front of the unit. I got home really late from the event, and I was really happy that I could still find the place and check in easily, especially being around midnight. I felt super safe due to the Gated complex. Once I checked in to the unit, it felt like I was in Miami. A refreshing vibe once I walked in. The place was super clean. Everything looked outstanding! A perfect way to end my night. I will be more than happy to stay here again and I highly recommend this place. I will be back, thanks James!
James’ place was absolutely stunning. I loved the full-size kitchen, big TVs in every room, the super comfy bed, ceiling fans with remotes, and the amazing bathroom. At 10:30 a.m., I texted James to ask for a late check-out, and he replied within minutes, kindly giving an extra half-hour. We got ready to leave after tidying up, but an hour passed and no one came to ask us to go. I was pleasantly surprised by how much extra time they gave us—it was exactly what we needed. Thank you again James!!! If you’re looking for a place to stay in Reno and prefer not to stay in someone else’s home, this is the spot for you.
Never been in more peaceful, beautiful, romantic air bnb in my life. I only stayed for one night, and kinda bummed. I definitely see myself coming back to Reno JUST to stay here again. And explore the city a little bit more. But above and beyond
We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting UNR. I was pleasantly surprised when we opened the gate to reveal the cutest patio area, which has the hot tub, sauna, grills, waterfall element and a small table. The neighborhood is quiet, but walking through the patio gate is like waking into your own little retreat. The room is recently renovated so everything is brand new. Bed was really comfortable, shower/sinks were clean, modern and beautiful. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and always had super quick responses to my questions. I would 💯 stay here again and highly recommend this property.
The host was incredibly responsive. I could message them before we arrived and during our stay and they responded very quickly. There were a few things that they even provided mid stay that made our experience above and beyond! The condo is very spacious, has everything that you need and has beautiful surroundings and was walkable, which was great for my teenagers. Thank you so much!
What a great little spot! Close to everything and only 15 minutes from downtown Reno! Ground level unit was great for our group. The place was spotless and the bathroom and living space were very spacious! James was very friendly and responsive when I asked for local breakfast recommendations and the food was great at the spot we chose! I would definitely stay here again!
Great place for Reno, safe area and very nice apartment (so spacious!!), and it was such a comfy bed, nice shower, and nice in-unit washer and dryer. Would stay again if I drive through!
*****This was the cleanest place we have EVER visited in our many years of traveling including hotels and friends' places. It was spotless. 5 stars to the cleaning crew!! -->The studio space was just PERFECT for 2 people too. We didn't need anything else to be comfortable. <3 We LOVED seeing the welcoming swans and heart arrangement out of our bath towels too. What a wonderful surprise. !!! We would definitely stay here again. James was responsive, helpful and friendly when he was contacted about something.
Nuestra estancia fue simplemente increíble. El lugar estaba súper limpio, organizado y muy cómodo, tal cual como en las fotos (o incluso mejor). Se nota que cuidan cada detalle para que uno se sienta como en casa. La ubicación también fue perfecta, todo nos quedaba cerca y fue muy fácil movernos. Además, el ambiente es tranquilo, ideal para descansar, especialmente porque viajábamos con nuestro bebé y todo fue muy cómodo para nosotros. La comunicación con el anfitrión fue excelente, siempre atento(a), amable y dispuesto(a) a ayudar con cualquier duda. Sin duda volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí y lo recomendamos al 100%. ¡Una experiencia
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding stay in Reno! Whether you’re traveling for work or taking a vacation, this place checks every box. The space was spotless, stylish, and extremely comfortable. It had an easy, dedicated workspace that made it simple to stay productive, along with strong Wi-Fi and a quiet atmosphere — perfect for anyone working remotely. At the same time, it still had that relaxing getaway feel. The location was ideal — close to everything but peaceful enough to truly unwind at night. The host was professional, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for both business trips and weekend escapes.
