Hi Janet thank you for your feedback. Glad you thought the space was great. Not sure what you mean by missing outdoor space? We have a courtyard with fountain, grill and fire pit (when weather permits). This is what is offered on my profile. Definitely a lot of outdoor space walking distance too.

I loved the neighborhood and the fact that the property overlooks the river. Everything was easily accessible from supermarkets, restaurants and gas stations (if renting a vehicle). The guest house is literally minutes from downtown Tampa and extremely close to the airport.

Hi Carrie thank you for your feedback. As you mentioned, we were very responsive so if at any time you would’ve mentioned needing bowls, you would’ve had them with no problem. Thank you for bringing to my attention because there was 4 there so I had no idea that they were no longer. I do see one pink soup bowl on top shelf still there. I will purchase more today. Thank you.

Cute little place to stay for a short trip! The host was very friendly and easy to get in touch with from beginning to end. The accommodations were basic, but exactly what we needed. It does have a little useful kitchen that included a stove, fridge/freezer, and microwave. There's also a table with chairs, and small living room area. The bedroom and bathroom are separate rooms. It's within easy driving distance of Raymond James Stadium, and plenty of other places.
