Very disappointed
We went 3 days with no AC, there was a leak coming from one of the locked closets. Smelled like cigarette smoke, holes in the wall, dirty sheets and pillow cases, even found a dirty diaper under one of the beds. One bed was broken. The pole was the best party but the maintenance and cleaning on this apartment was not good at all. I would not stay here again.

We stayed at this location on our way to Tampa for a cruise. We were really impressed by not only the location, spacious rooms, cleanliness, amenities but kindness, honesty and prompt response of the owner. We would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking for a room in this area to stay here. Will stay again!!
