Cute Studio Apartment Tilgængelig til alt i Bradenton / Sarasota

Thank you so much. You were lovely guests and I would be thrilled to have you back. I wish the weather had been a little warmer for your stay.

The status of the apartment is documented via video and photographs prior to EVERY new check in without exception. 1.) “Soap dispensers empty except shampoo and conditioner.” All five soap dispensers had soap when you checked in. As of your check out, four out of five soap dispensers had soap in them. There was also soap located in the medicine cabinet and under the sink. Either you or your spouse moved the adjustable showerhead down so that it was touching the push button on the dispenser, which causes the soap to drain out completely. At no time did I receive a request for more soap during your stay. 2.) “Very dated.” Bayshore Gardens is a historic neighborhood, all properties were built in the late 50s - early 60s. The structure is midcentury. The furniture is from this century. All photographs are accurate and recent. If apartment was not to your liking, you could have simply chosen to stay elsewhere. 3.) “Stove, very rusted, unsteady, dial for oven temp was backwards and couldn't cook so temp was a guess.” The one rust spot located beneath the stove door does not interfere with use during cooking or baking. I recently re-secured the temperature dial and confirmed with photos of the same brand that it is accurately positioned. Perhaps you are not familiar with using apartment size stoves, but six + years of previous guests were able to use it without issue. All range ovens have adjustable feet. Had you had informed me that the stove was wobbling, I could have easily adjusted the feet on the unit to stabilize it, which likely shifted during a recent pest control application. 4.) “Shower had black mold.” I *personally* scrub, bleach and sanitize the stall prior to every stay. I can prove empirically there was/is no black mold. There is some missing grout and old discolored caulking I have been removing piecemeal via Dremel. There is zero black mold. During season, there isn’t time between guests to give new grout/caulking ample time to be both cured and sealed. Additionally: You left a pair of your underwear draped over a pipe under bathroom sink – which is strange, and a biohazard. The shower walls and door were splattered and stained with a dark blue chemical (not shampoo) as high as 6.5 feet that took 45 minutes of targeting scrubbing with bleach to remove. 5.) “Kitchen utensils were hit or miss, no hot pads, faucet on kitchen sink was in the sink...washing dishes faucet was in the way.” Utensils: There are over 100 items provided for cooking and eating, including a silicone oven mitt. As it is not possible to forecast every need, a broad array of common items are provided despite space limitations. You could have easily let me know if you needed an item that was not provided. Sink/faucet: The kitchen is depicted accurately in the listing with photos. The homebuilder fit an entire kitchen into a 74 inch wide space, which you knowingly rented. The kitchen photos were not obscured from view. 6.) “Walking from driveway to side entrance had to dodge dog waste....at night it was hit or miss.” Before mowing yesterday, I took the liberty of filming the walkway from the driveway to the apartment door, a 3.5 ft. wide path. This statement is unfounded and hyperbole. 7.) “Expensive for what you get in comparison to other properties we've rented.” This is a LIE. You were in Florida during SEASON. Every hotel in a 5-mile radius right now is $10-150 more per night. On VRBO and Air Bnb - $50-250 per night more for “entire property” rentals. There wasn’t a way to improve your stay unless you informed me. Thanks so much for your "thoughtful" review.
