Hide-Away: Downtown Pensacola, North Hill Studio

Excellent communication.

Finding this place was easy peasy! The parking was good, and near the entrance to the apartment. The bed was comfortable, the appliances all worked well, and there were plenty of towels and coffee and pots and pans for any daily needs!

We enjoyed the room, we did have a hard time cooling it off at night. With no ventilation in the bathroom, the heat from the shower heats the room up and it took into the early hours of the night to cool off. But location was perfect, price was right! Would like to stay there in a larger room next time. Highly recommend this property!

The location is prime, close to the beach, to Palafox, and just up the street from The Coffee Cup. However, the window unit AC is too old to fully cool this small space, especially in the humid Florida summer. We decided to stay in Pensacola a few extra days, but had to switch to a hotel for air conditioning. We also had trouble figuring out which studio was ours when we arrived near midnight. We’d been given the address, but not the letter of our studio. I was sure someone would call the police on us the way we were circling a historic house in the middle of the night. Otherwise, this was a good place equipped with everything we might need and for a very reasonable price.

Great little spot to stay in with all the amenities you’d need. Clear instructions about finding the spot and information printed out in a binder inside. Host is responsive and helpful!

The landlord’s brother, extremely knowledgable in Pensacola’s history, took me on a free tour of the city, drove me to a local fish market for the best seafood-buying experience then to the Ever’man Cooperative Grocery store (A health-food heaven), few blocks away. He dropped me off at the Airport. I was treated like royalty during my two nights stay! Can’t wait to go back to a home away from home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: absolutely loved the host. Super friendly and prompt. We sat for our honeymoon. Perfect intimate get away for us. Had everything we needed and felt at home. Stayed 5 days.

The location on this property is great. Close to all the main attractions and if you’re in too rustic it’s the place for you. Communication with the property management was easy and prompt.

Old but taken good care of

My stay at this property was fantastic. The host, Cindy, was extremely helpful. She was a great resource for events going on in the area. I also had a very early morning flight and she was able to grant me an early arrival (granted that the room was ready). The location was a short 15 minute walk downtown (aout a little shy of a mile), I did not cook there but there is a microwave, stove, all the dishes, pots and pans and a gas grill out back. It is an older home, a bit out dated but very clean. The price was was very good for the value and it worked well for me.

Convenient, Clean, and loved the neighborhood.

Pictures must have been taken a long time ago. The property is very well worn. Peeling paint, warped floors, plywood supports under the mattress,jut not what we were expecting.

Was great

It met our needs for the few days we were there. The shower might feel less cramped if it has a rod that curves out. The tub’s drain is also clogged. Overall, it was a good stay though.

This was one of our very best VRBO experiences. HOST: Our host was great. We had decided to add another night before we came. The date was available and she got it taken care of for us with no issue. When we arrived she made sure our check in has gone smoothly. Then, I had mentioned how we loved the space but it could maybe use a full body mirror. She brought one for us right away. She was extremely kind and responsive, I was so impressed on how great the experience was. LOCATION: I’m a huge fan of more historic neighborhoods. The house is in a great location for getting around. It’s just off a main road. I like to take morning walks and I was able to walk through the quiet neighborhoods without getting on the main road. Palafox market and the historic downtown is about 10 blocks away and we felt it was a nice distance for walking or driving. There is a nearby local organic grocery store (Evermans) that is really charming and has all the things you need for a healthy meal. There is also a Walgreens, dollar general and Publix nearby. There is a nightlife in the downtown area and we might check that out next time. THE UNIT: The unit was exactly what we needed. We were in town to visit my dad without our children. We brought lunch meat and other items to make quick meals for ourselves. Having a stove, mini fridge and some other kitchen basics was great. We really liked the patio area to chat and enjoy a morning coffee. RETURN: We will be back! Thank you, Cynthia!!

Cynthia was amazing and responsive. Place was central to fun!
