Tampa, Florida
Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay.
Right in the heart of Tampa, close to the lightning hockey stadium,
5 Minutes from downtown Tampa, Historic Ybor city.
20 minutes from Tampa international airport...
Floors filthy, socks covered i pet hair and couldn't walk inside without wearing shoes. Next door neighbors outside playing music all night, parking in our spot, guest bathroom more like what you find on cruise ship. House off of MLK and in the hood. Was not as advertised and very disappointing.
It started out OK until day number two when we returned from dinner. We had placed a mango on the kitchen counter, and we returned. There was a large chunk of mango that had been bitten out. We can only assume it was from a mouse or a rat. Also, a bag of dog treats had been chewed up and opened. From there the night was normal enjoyed a few beverages then I woke in the morning around 530 to blaring loud music and multiple people drinking in the front yard. after that the remainder of the weekend was fairly quiet with little disturbance, the air conditioner vents all have condensation, but they do not drip onto the floor. The person who cleans the house or the company that cleans the house needs to do a much better job because the house was not dirty, but there were things that were not clean like the drains in the sinks and the shower of the bathrooms. Overall, not the worst experience I’ve had, but I was disappointing.
Pictures show a house but it is part of triplex, at the beginning I thought that would be a problem but the occupants of the other two attached apartments were quiet and respectful. Cleaning person lacks detailing and really needs to do better, a lot of pet hair all around the mattresses on the beds and under the bed frames, dirt. Kitchen is old, but well equipped. Stove is not pretty but works really well. Coffee maker worked the first breakfast, but, the second day it did not. No big deal we had juice instead. Manager answered questions pre booking the same day and was accommodating to our needs, which was a deciding point in my decision to stay. Thank you for let us use your house.
This was a very simple but pleasant home. It was very clean - we found a dead palmetto bug or two upon arrival, but it is Florida, and I believe the website even mentions that this is not a rare occurence. I did not see any live insect life inside the house during my stay. I was especially pleased that there was bottled water available in the fridge. This was very friendly. The second bathroom (by the kitchen) is very no-frills, but it was a big convenience not to have to walk through my traveling companion's bedroom to use the loo late at night. Ours was a very brief stay, and we had a lot of things to do, so I cannot say much about the area, other than it was quiet in the evenings and I slept quite well at night.
It was a comfortable stay, the house is well-stocked and spacious. I like the feeling of the residential neighborhood, but it's very close to downtown. I traveled with the dog and appreciated that the property was a pet friendly one. I enjoyed the house and the communication with the owner was always easy and very friendly.
Overall the property was fine and location to downtown was perfect. The neighborhood was my biggest challenge with this property. The neighborhood is still in transition and at times didn't seem safe. The trash cans were on the street and full our entire stay.
Very nice property
