Great location in Tampa close to everything we wanted to see. Very cute comfortable accommodation and the bonus was a nice background area we could use. Margarita was a wonderful host and always responded promptly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad the location and backyard stood out to you. Come back anytime!
The place was very clean and nice. I was surprised actually by how clean everything was. You can tell it had been updated and they did a nice job. The backyard w the Adirondack chairs is a lovely touch. I stayed there to go to Busch Gardens and it was super close. One thing I will say is sometimes there’s a smell to a place if it’s older and this place did not have that. We felt very comfortable.
