You cannot use the pool at this property even though it’s listed in the description. There are no tvs in the bedrooms, beds felt like sleeping on the floor, and even though it says it’s cleaned after every booking the floor was gross! My daughter’s feet were black after crawling for 5 minutes! We canceled this property and booked somewhere way better!

We recently stayed while visiting family for Thanksgiving. The apartment was a great choice for us. It was a reasonably priced, no frills accommodation near the University of South Florida. The apartment was clean and appeared to be recently updated. The check-in process was simple. Julie, the host, was very responsive throughout our stay. My grandson loved the pool and gym. We all appreciated nice hot showers with good water pressure and lots of hot water and comfortable mattresses! Basic amenities were there to get us started, as advertised. There is just one tv, with streaming service in the living room. All in all we are happy with our choice of accommodation!
