Sebastian is attentive and helpful. It was very peaceful and quiet yet close to many things like USF and Busch Gardens. So you could go out and be busy and come home to peace. Reserved parking was a plus.

Home away from home

This home has everything you need. Two bathrooms and a second bedroom for our kids were a must. The host was very quick at responding and was very helpful. A full kitchen meant we were able to cook most of our meals, which saved us a lot of money. Walmart and target is really close too!

Our stay was super easy and everything was clean and fine. My only problem was it says this is for 5 people. The Master bedroom has a queen bed and the extra room has 2 twin beds. It was My husband and I and 3 teenage children. The only option for a 5th sleeping spot was a tiny couch downstairs in the living room.. which again would be fine if it pulled out into a bed. However, it did not and the couch was very small and not comfortable. I would re advised this as a 4 person sleeping OR get a sleeper sofa for downstairs or something to accommodate a 5th person more comfortably.
