It is a lovely little room—quiet neighborhood and centrally located. During the summer, the A/C is not going to cool off the room and will run all day and night. The temp will not be sweltering, but it will not get cold in the room. The kitchenette has no hot plate but does have a microwave—pleasant stay for what I needed.

Host was very responsive and polite. A/C wasn't cooling enough and she immediately arranged for a floor unit to be set up. Comfortable arrangements and private. Strange cooking/food smell at 4am and again the following day. This was my 2nd stay. Didn't encounter either issue the 1st time.

I was in town to see family. This was the perfect place to lay my head each night. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. There was a cute little patio as well. If I come back to town, I will definitely be staying here again.

Even better than the pictures

I arrived at this unit at night, and I was pleasantly surprised that there was motion lighting the entire way to the door. Another nice surprise was that there was water in the fridge for me. It was clean and well equipped and in a very nice neighborhood.I also enjoyed the cozy little courtyard that was just for me. It was nice to sit out in the Florida sunshine.If I ever need to use a Verbo in Sarasota again, I would definitely use that one.

This apartment is attached to a house. Very nice neighborhood. Very close to the airport. The apartment itself had nicely chosen furnishings. Well done. The only negative is you could smell when the homeowner was cooking. I would stay again for a quick trip.
