Cute, clean, hosts very attentive to any needs or concerns. Could've used bowls, could not find any. Shower was great, bathroom kinda small but functional. Downtown Tampa not too far.

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.

The host is wonderful, and the backyard is a dream! The apartment itself is quite small with low ceilings (I had to duck in the shower at 5’10”), but I felt safe in the neighborhood, and the location was nice - just a 15 minute walk to Armature Works!
