This was a peaceful and clean oasis. We were close to everything, but also felt away from everything while relaxing in the backyard. They had safe and convenient off street parking, which was nice. It was a great experience!

The hosts were very attentive and reached out before we even arrived to introduce themselves and make themselves available if we needed anything or had questions. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. It is literally a block behind the Columbia Restaurant (a place you have to eat at if you stay in Ybor), and within walking distance of all of Ybor City. The charm and beauty of the place made it a nice launch pad and recovery area after a long day out. The back yard is a great place to sit and enjoy one of the cigars you purchased during your walk through the heart of Cigar City. Natalie and Eric were amazing hosts and we will definitely stay with them again on our next visit to Ybor.

The house was very clean and well equipped. The host was very helpful and gave us great recommendations for restaurants. Parking was great, right in front of the house or on the side driveway. The neighborhood was very quiet, we had a very nice italian restaurant on the corner, my husband attended a business meeting and was delighted ith the food and service. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and the location as perfect for us, we were 7 minutes away from downtown which was where we were attending the event we visited Tampa for.

This home is exquisite and delightful. The parking was great,the beds were comfortable, the house was very clean. All the decor made us feel like we belonged in Ybor. The best part was walking to all the sights restaurants,shopping,cigars,free streetcsr rides for touring and the awesome chickens free roaming the city. We experienced very restful nights and exciting days about the city. We will keep this in our top tier for future bookings. The owners were very helpful with recommendations and their ability to restore a hidden gem to its potential. Very easy check in. Can't wait to come back even if it's for the 1905 salad at the Columbia restaurant.
