Perfect location in the heart of Ybor.

The property was everything we expected. We were in town for the Heritage Festival and everything including the event was a short walk. No car needed. The only recommendation is for lights on the outside stairwell and back door entrance so it could be better lit. It was hard to see the stairs and keypad for the back door. We would definitely stay again.

Ybor Loft

Old building with charm. Rental property is on the 2nd floor of a large building and has a spacious common room with wrap-around couch, large TV, and a billiards table. Front deck has plenty of room to relax at night with a drink and a cigar from the local J.C. Newman factory. The location is great if you intend to visit 7th Avenue to take advantage of the bars, cigar shops, and restaurants that Ybor has to offer. Can walk to La Segunda bakery and J.C. Newman. Trolley stop is two blocks away and can get you to the shinier parts of downtown Tampa (Riverwalk, Armature, Sparkman Wharf, Amalie Arena). Constructive Feedback/Tips -The exterior stairs to enter the loft resemble a fire escape and could be difficult to navigate with large luggage. -The 4th bedroom is more of a converted sitting room with a trundle-style bed and couch. If you plan to use the deck at night, this room is a high traffic area and not ideal for light sleepers. To go from living room to deck, or living room to 3rd bedroom, you must walk through the 4th bedroom. -There is no hallway bathroom. The two bathrooms are connected to the 1st bedroom and the 2nd bedroom. Anyone not sleeping in those two bedrooms has to risk disturbing/waking the occupants.
