The apartment was great and had everything I needed. Centrally located, but feels very private, with a great view of the river. Would definitely stay here again.
The host was welcoming and had great communication. It was a cute little place in a nice quiet neighborhood on the water. I felt safe and comfortable with it just being myself and my tween daughter.
We had most of what we needed and then some, including a coffee maker, toaster, microwave full size refrigerator and electric stove. If I could suggest some things to add, it would be a pitcher and some more cereal size bowls.
Great view of river in a very nice neighborhood. Loved watching the boats go by as we ate our breakfast on the umbrella table located on our deck. Home very updated, spacious and comfy. We plan to stay again!
The place was clean, comfortable, quiet and had a lovely view from the patio. It was perfect for us to have a few days of quiet as well as be in close proximity to a lot of activities and restaurants. Really enjoyed the stay!
We’ve stayed at Ed & Marianne’s several times over the past four years while our daughter attended U Tampa. It’s quiet, clean, comfortable and convenient. They are great hosts. It’s was a great find!
We had an amazing vacation! The place is centrally located to every attraction in Tampa. The place was clean and the owners were very nice. Would definitely VRBO this place again.
