Cozy for 2 people for 2 days. Everything inside was new. Bed was comfy, water was hot, kitchen made it easy to cook breakfast. New vinyl flooring was easy on the feet.

Host was good. The place was clean and newly updated. The unit was smaller than I expected. It looked larger on the pictures. It was part of a trailer park but the neighborhood felt safe.
Enjoyed my stay and being close to a friend in Tavares who I spent time with while there. The amenities were good. The mini-split heat air conditioner worked well once I figured out how to operate it.
