This rental is located in a great neighborhood and was easy to find. It was very clean and welcoming. We were celebrating a 30th birthday @ Bern's, and this spot was perfect for walking to the restaurant.

Downtown Tampa is only minutes away, making it convenient for any activities or outings. The surrounding neighborhood is perfect for exploring, with charming streets and a welcoming atmosphere. The accommodations were top-notch, providing a comfortable and relaxing experience. I highly recommend SoHo Escape for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Tampa!

This second floor apartment was so cute--historical charm (bathroom!) with a nicely updated kitchen, perfect for easy breakfasts. We appreciated the well-stocked coffee station so we could enjoy a slow morning on the porch. The location was great for walks along Bay Shore and visiting Hyde Park. The designated parking spot behind was tight for my giant SUV but it did fit and was nice for overnight parking. We parked on the street when we were making quick stops in and out (could have also parked there overnight if desired). Main living room was spacious for the two adults two teens to watch movies and work on a puzzle together. Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the historical charm, updated kitchen, and cozy mornings on the porch. It’s great to hear the location worked well for you and that the living space was comfortable. We appreciate you staying with us!
We stayed here for a weekend getaway in Tampa. This property was located close to Hyde Park. It was an excellent location on a quiet family friendly neighborhood. The neighborhood was very nice.
The unit was very clean and welcoming. It had everything we needed for our stay. The neighbors in the other units were quiet. Lovly place.
The hosts were responsive to all the communication. They answered back within a few minutes. They also sent out a link to a website that included their favorite local restaurants!
We would definitely stay here again!

Cute property with a very outdated bathroom. The second bedroom is an addition to the main bedroom and did not have air conditioning.

Thanks for your insightful review, Ingrid! The building was constructed in 1922 and we like to describe it as a gorgeous pre-war construction with modern and convenient amenities. We apologize that you did not appreciate our timeless bathroom with a clawfoot shower/tub. All rooms have AC but the back room does have a few extra windows so may be a bit warmer during the day. I hope we get the chance to host you again in the future!
Brightwild, Hannah
