Great location and super clean!

Very accommodating host! Place was super clean and very well stocked! Quiet neighborhood but close proximity to many beaches, restaurant's and stores. If we needed anything we just had to ask. Host family was around but never bothered us and always willing to provide suggestions. Only suggestion would be to upgrade washer and provide directions for cleaning dryer lint trap . Overall 2 thumbs up and would return and highly recommended!!!!

Clean and comfortable at best

The property was clean and the king sized bed was comfortable. The couch was really four hassocks and was very hard and uncomfortable. Some of the other furniture was not as pictured and the bathroom was very small. There were stairs to the place that could use some work and steps up to the bathroomand bedroom. We would not stay in that neighborhood again and I don’t know why a gym was listed. We did communicate since we arrived late each evening.

Beautiful Get away

Even though our stay had to be cut short due to unforeseen circumstances, we really liked the apartment and accommodations. The unit was very neat and clean. Agnes the host, went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. The location is situated in a quiet residential area, close to beaches and shopping. We would definitely recommend this location for your stay.

This property is centrally located and very well-equipped. A two minute walk brings you to a beautiful view of the pay. In 10 minutes you can get to Siesta Key beach, or go south to Venice Beach. Plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. I felt very safe walking around in the area.

Comfortable apartment close to beaches and recreation

We loved our stay at Agi's! Ot was cozy, clean and quiet. The beach chairs were great! We only had 5 days in the Sarasota area. We explored the beaches and Myakka River park. We had fresh seafood at Walts Fresh Catch Market and Pelican Alley. They were equally fabulous and fresh! Perfect location!
