We were in Tampa for softball at USF. The location was about two miles from the stadium and surrounding entertainment. I townhouse was a described and properly equipment. It was clean and the apartment complex was nice and in a safe location. The bed mattresses were great. I would recommend as a safe and comfortable location.
