This apartment is cute and quiet and has everything you need for a visit to Tarpon Springs. We especially loved the walkable neighborhood and how close it was both driving and on foot to the downtown area. The beds were so comfortable. Highly recommend.

Staying at John and Lena’s place was a highlight of our paddling trip. The apartment has real character and felt like a proper home rather than a generic rental. The beds were comfortable, the balcony was a great spot to unwind in the evening, and the location was perfect for what we came to do. The paddling launch site was just a few minutes on foot, so we could grab our gear and go without any hassle.The kitchen had most of what we needed. A few items were missing on arrival, including bowls, baking sheets, tongs, and saran wrap. We mentioned it to John and he dropped everything off the same day with no fuss. We would happily book again.

This is a beautiful, very well maintained historical property, with modern amenities that don’t take away from the historical charm of the home. It’s located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood walking distance to downtown, and the hosts were easy to reach if we had needed them. We will definitely be staying here again.
