I thoroughly enjoyed my one night stay here! I’m a stickler for cleanliness and you can tell the hosts care about maintaining the studio. They also clearly care about making sure guests have a good experience from the little details in the studio to the timely and clear communication. I would definitely rebook if I return to Tampa!
