Great Trip

We had an enjoyable stay. The property was clean, quiet and easy to access. Except for a few needed new light bulds in fixtures, we had a great stay! I would recommend and stay again.

Great price for the centrally located location. Couple of small issues (nothing that can't be addressed). The management company was amazing. We had an issue with the internet and didn't know how to turn the heat on (who would in FL but it was unseasonably cold the 2 days we were there) and they took care of everything immediately. Thank you for a great stay. Wendy

Comfortable, Clean and well supplied accommodations

We enjoyed this lovely, stylish rental. Everything was A for our comfort. However, there was a blip in communications at our arrival, which caused me concern but was corrected in 30 minutes time. Highly recommend!

Place probably does not have that many people stay. When I walked in the first time, definitely a musty smell and possible sewer. That might happen if traps dry out. 2nd issue was oven didn’t work. Texted property management and they did immediately respond with if you pull the oven out and unplug it has fixed the issue in the past. They did offer to send someone, but I did it myself. 3rd issue was pics look a lot better then reality. Stains on couches that I didn’t want to sit on them. Floor in rough shape

The location was good. The host was informative and easy to get information from. The check in was easy. It was clean and cute. The few things that were not as expected were the bed in the first bedroom squeaked and was loose. It woke me up all night every time my husband moved. The light on the right side of the bed flickered constantly and needed to be unplugged. There was no counter space in the bathroom. If I could have tightened the bed it really would have been overall great because the mattress was comfortable.

Place was clean, manager was polite, only problem hot water heater went out, no hot water last 3 days. Management tried to get it fixed but unfortunately was unable. I would still give it 3.5 to 4 stars.

Not what I expected nor enjoyed

This apartment was definitely clean but awfully shabby. Walls were half painted, for example; and there were holes in the flooring, which gave me the creeps, considering that Florida is a place where many bugs are. The temperature was high in the apartment when I arrived, around 74, and there was no easy means to change that. (I tried to lower the temperature but to no avail.) The neighborhood was very much as described, but it was also more removed from restaurants and cafes &c than I expected. And it was more expensive to Uber back and forth to them than I was led to believe. At worst, three times the cost, which is significant. The most difficult part was that I was terribly allergic in the apartment, which suggests there is mold somewhere in the environment (as that is my only allergy). I could not end up staying there at all, as a result. The host was kind enough to return the cleaning fee, as I did not spend more than an hour there, though I booked it for 5 nights, but they did not budge on returning even a single night of the stay nor did they respond to my charge that there is mold in the apartment. Each person to their own actions. All I can say is, karma.
