Great location — a few minutes from Ybor City and close to everything in Tampa, which made getting around easy every day. The cottage is simple and comfortable, with everything you need. I used the laundry and appreciated that it was stocked with supplies, along with the rest of the place. Check-in was smooth and the place was clean. Honestly, at this price, this will be my go-to place every time I come to Tampa.
