The Neighborhood:
The heart of Tampa is full of the historic & hot trending neighborhoods.

Well known by locals for its beautiful 1920's Craftsman Bungalows and its food and beer scene. Tampa eateries and bars attract an eclectic mix from all over Tampa Bay. You will not find a chain restaurant here. We love how close in proximity our home is to lots of amazing microbreweries, bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. We are also close to many theaters, event spaces, theme parks, beaches, malls, and universities. We'll include a comprehensive city guide immediately after booking!

Getting Around:
This home is a 1-5 minute drive from many of our neighborhood's best bars and restaurants. There are a half dozen craft breweries within 2 miles!

5 minutes to Downtown Tampa
4 minutes to Port of Tampa Cruise Ship Terminals
10 minutes to Tampa International Airport
10 minutes to Raymond James Stadium

Other Things to Note:

★Welcome★
Please remember that you will be staying in an apartment that is a 100% smoke-free home, including any outdoor areas in the backyard as it has turf grass (may melt artificial grass). Please limit smoking to the front outdoor space of the home on the cement pad! Please be courteous of our space and our neighbors with the same respect you would show your own!


EARLY CHECK-IN
- We can try our best but can only guarantee 4:00 PM. If you reach out to us on the day of arrival, we can see what the status of the home is in and once approved by our Inspectors, grant an earlier check-in!



SECURITY
- Our listings are outfitted with "Nest" cameras that overlook the listing's exterior only. There may also be "Noiseaware" or "Minut" sound level measuring devices in select properties that will automatically alert management in the event of loud music after quiet hours. Neither of these devices allow us to see, hear, or record anything inside of our listings. It is important to note that your privacy is extremely important to us and that you ARE NOT being actively monitored.



IDENTIFICATION
- Reservations may require further guest verification to prevent credit card fraud for both you and the host! Your  booking platform does not share your personal information with your Host. Because of this, we do require the responsible party who is physically staying in the home to provide a valid photo ID after booking is confirmed. Your personal identification is not stored and is protected from distribution or use for any other purpose than identification, in accordance with Federal information security guidelines. 



VIDEO/PHOTO PERMITS
- Video and Photo Permits available upon request with a fee and some basic ground rules. Ask your Host!
ADDITIONAL HOUSE RULES
If you’re coming to Tampa to party, you’ve picked a great city to do so! Though we’re sure it won’t come to it, serious complaints of unruly behavior will, unfortunately, result in you being asked to leave. We've created this listing to bring people together, we want you to enjoy our space for the entire length of your visit.
Being a family home, we also have a no smoking policy (although you are welcome to smoke in designated outdoor areas. Please be courteous and dispose of cigarette waste accordingly and not in the yard or plants.
Check-in is anytime after 4 PM, and check-out is no later than 10 AM. Arriving slightly earlier, or want that extra hour to sleep? That can sometimes be arranged if our schedule permits it, but please check with us first as fees may apply.
Place all trash in the designated trash receptacles only.
Please limit sound level between the hours of 10 PM and 8AM. A gentle reminder will be given for a first offense. You may be asked to leave without refund of any kind for the second.



The easiest way to disrupt an enjoyable stay is a plumbing problem. To prevent this, we kindly ask you to please place things like sanitary napkins in the trash bin we've provided in the bathroom. Please do not flush anything other than your waste and the toilet paper that we've provided. A $250 minimum charge will be applied for any emergency plumbing service call. We simply want to ensure you have a royal flush kind of holiday :) 



We understand that accidents happen; but we do ask that you please let us know when they do. Chances are we can fix them as effortlessly as possible which also means better chances of having your full security deposit returned too.



We ask that you kindly respect our maximum occupancy requirement. We understand that for a whole variety of reasons, you may want additional guests to stay in the place. In the event that you want additional guests to stay, please contact us to let us know. We’re reasonable folks and will accommodate whenever possible.



What you do in your personal time is entirely up to you, but when staying at our place we have a strict no drug use policy. This is just the law… not so much one of our rules.



Always lock all doors and windows before you leave as you will be held responsible for any missing items.



You must also acknowledge pet(s) or guests that own pets have stayed on property; therefor pet hair or dander may still be present even after cleanings.



While we do a thorough professional clean between each guest stay, we kindly ask that prior to leaving, you clean and put any dishes or kitchenware used into the dishwasher or sink, place any dirty towels in the tub, and take all trash to the provided receptacles. This helps us get through our cleaning process quicker and allows us to keep cleaning costs down for you and future guests.

Interaction with Guests:
Guest interaction can be tailored to your needs! Our goal is to make sure your stay is unforgettable so you can always contact us via phone or email!

DO NOT STAY HERE
While the decor of the unit was cute, the unit is in a very bad part of town and the entrance is a back alley that is very hard to fit your vehicle. We were in town to run a half marathon and we were awake all night bc of GUN SHOTS, TRAP MUSIC and HELICOPTERS. We did not sleep at all and definitely did not stay their the next night bc we felt so unsafe. When we asked to have a partial refund we were told no. If you want a good nights sleep do not stay here. I will not be returning!

Quick stay
We did not spend much time on the property except for sleeping and showering. The accommodations were perfect for our needs. We were so close to angry chair brewery. Many restaurants close too!
