This place is in a walkable, central location in Tampa, which was very convenient for us as we visited family members all over town. The home offered comfortable amenities as well as a perfectly-sized pool for refreshing swims. Can’t appreciate enough the provided coffee, the complimentary toothbrush (someone in our group didn’t pack one) and flip flops, and the very clean rooms. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Great for us.
We used this property while moving our daughter to town for an internship at the Tampa Zoo. The closeness to the Zoo made it great for us to get around back and forth to the zoo. I only wished i could of rented the house for her to stay in while doing her internship.

Great house!
The property was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The neighbor hood is definitely in a transition phase of improving the houses, but it is cute and quaint. Nebraska Avenue was not as safe as we had hoped, but we felt very safe in the house. Overall, we had a great stay.

The Hot Hill
Cute home and area but not pointing out the steep driveway issue in the listing is an issue. Also remotely altering a/c doesn’t increase guest comfort level. 2 notes not about the property: one neighbor very loud offensive language on one side and construction with generator running on other(know before you go)

Bed linen was dirty
The home is located on a hill and the drive way is extremely low,, which caused me to hit the bottom of my car numerous times. My 2 year old granddaughter was with me and there was no access to the back yard. The listing advertised POOL which is false advertisement if the pool is still under construction. You find that out later after you reserve your stay.

Loved Hilltop
We didn’t know what to expect because we’ve never been to the Tampa area. This neighborhood was quiet and safe and so quaint. We fished in the river which was a block away from the house. The house was clean, stocked well, and comfortable. It was simple and adorable. Great stay!
