If you're looking for a budge-priced one bedroom apartment within easy commute to everything St Petersburg, this is it. The apartment reminded me of a cabin in the woods, and is in a very nice residential neighborhood, ten minutes to historic downtown and 15 - 20 minutes to St Pete Beach, Madeira Beach and more. Joann & Richard are lovely hoshts, The apartment is adjoined to their house and separated by a privacy divider on the back porch. They are there if you need something but otherwise you have total privacy at the rear patio and pool. The pool looked nice but is unheated; and we preferred to spend time at one of the beaches. All-in-all, this is a great home base for one or two people, looking to explore any and all directions in St Petersburg, whether the cultural district, shopping or beaches. Thank you Joann & Richard! We had a very nice stay.
