Great communication from host! Great stay with fun activities to do like card games, ping pong and a pool table. Neighborhood was okay but location is not far from most places like Hyde Park. Would recommend!
I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Tampa! Very centrally located but they also have tons of entertainment options if you’re staying in. Whatever question I had, they enthusiastically responded in a timely manner and with an abundance of explanation. Probably the best hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of cooperating with. If I could give 6 starts I would!!
