Very pleasant and welcoming

Our stay here was very pleasant and welcoming. It felt like being in your own home and we loved every moment of it. When we first arrived we were taken back by how beautiful the apartment looks and how clean it was. It was very accesible with many appliances for every day cooking. The kitchen is a dream and personally was my wife’s favorite part of the home since she loves to cook. Our children had an amazing time being able to sleep comfortably in separate rooms and often said the beds were super comfy. Mark and the staff were very attentive and communicative with us as well which meant the world to us. We have no complaints about this amazing property and truly hope and ensure that others enjoy it as much as we did.

Best rental experience I've ever had.

I can not say enough great things about this property and the property manager. From the moment I booked the apartment, the communication was outstanding, all my questions were answered in a timely manner and I was even able to check in an hour early. The furnishings in the apartment are very comfortable and every need had already been anticipated prior to our arrival. We really liked the coffee maker having k-cups, sugar packets and creamer cups & disposable to-go cups are really helpful when you're on short visits, as were the snacks and toiletries provided. This home has nice comfort touches, including remote controls for ceiling fans, dimmable touch lamps, labeled light switches and televisions in each room. The kitchen is to die for! It's beautiful and had everything we needed and then some. At first we were a little worried about the location as we drove in, but don't let that concern you. The neighbors were nice and we felt completely safe the entire time we were there (and we're country folks from the north). Most importantly, I had many check ins to ensure all my needs were met and that everything was perfect with the rental. Check in was contactless and easy and checkout was also a piece of cake. No real tasks other than ensuring garbage has been taken care of. We loved it here! I would recommend this rental to anyone and everyone and if i return to the Tampa area, I'll be requesting to book with Emperor again! Best host ever and best rental experience I've ever had.

Hidden little gem

The apartment was so cute and quaint. It was very updated and clean. It had everything we needed for an extended visit including a washer and dryer. The property managers were available at all times and communication was great. The beds were very comfortable and so was the couch. The only negatives were the neighborhood was a bit sketch and there was a smell in the apartment that made me think they may have a sewage problem. I did make them aware of it and they said they were going to have a plumber look at it, so maybe it’s fixed now. Overall great visit!
