Studio w/ balcony, central location, dog-friendly - beach nearby!

Less than half a block off of Duval Street, this location is convenient yet quiet. I parked my car at a pay lot, recommended by Vacasa, several blocks away after unloading my stuff and didn't drive it again until the morning I left so not having parking at the unit was not too big of a deal, but be aware that is the situation. My biggest disappointment was the bed. The mattress and pillows should have been replaced quite some time ago. The mattress sags into a black hole in the center of the bed from which it was difficult to extricate myself each morning in addition to causing me to be quite stiff and sore in my lower back. Lucky for me all the walking I was doing helped to work that out each day or I would have been miserable. For this reason alone I was tempted to give this location one star. The bed was made with one very thin blanket and no extras to be found. Also on the negative side, the air conditioner was set high in the wall. I might could have reached it to adjust the temperature up or down by climbing on a chair, but did not attempt it since I was out and about the majority of the time and could compensate for it being to warm with the ceiling fan. When it seemed to cold I would sit out on the porch. Not a huge issue, but annoying which is not something I look for in a vacation rental. The saving grace and cause for the bump up to 3 stars was they were very attentive when there was an issue with the water being turned off to several units which was not in any way their fault. Overall, I did love the location but I would probably look at a different unit in the area rather than rent this one again.
