Convenient location

This is right in the middle of town, close to everything. Our vehicle did not move at all until it was time to leave. We either rode bikes or walked everywhere. The room and amenities were exactly as described.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
Check-in was easy, and the place was cute, but that’s where it stopped. The place was filthy, there was stuff in the tub that God only knows what it was. The sheets were dirty and overall the place felt unclean. I communicated issues with the owner right away and got no answer till after we checked out. Then all that was said was they would talk to the cleaner. No offer to make it right. It’s location is ideal in safety harbor, but beware of its cleanliness.

Wow, well, all I can say is please read all of our reviews. There are always one or two people that you can’t please. You can’t achieve super host 5 years in a row by having these types of reviews. So sorry you were so displeased. Please come again and I will make sure you have a great time here.

Great location! We arrived Friday night, there were food trucks and live music. On Sunday morning there was a market just a street over. Despite being so close to the Main Street, it was quiet in the unit at all hours.

Disappointed

Everything was great other than a lot of noise throughout the night. Something up with plumbing pipes knocking when other rooms use water. Also quite a bit of outside street noise filters through. Didn’t get good nite rest either nite.
