My wife and I had a pleasure of staying at this property for 1.5 months while exploring Florida’s west coast. The apartment is located in a great neighborhood, just a short drive to Sarasota downtown and Lido beach (our favorite!). There is a really nice park down the block, perfect for morning walks. The apartment was clean and had all of the necessary amenities. We had couple of requests and the owner took care of everything within a day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate coming back. ##### Max K. Stayed 45 nights in Oct 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shanie S. Jul 14, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not what I is pictured rough area over garage We arrived the house was not clean no hand Sanitizer electric issues with lights in kitchen, the owner was nice however I felt since I had to clean the place I should have received a refund at least on the cleaning I did after a long drive .. the area is scetchy and no cleaning supplies or enough towels. The apartment is over the garage, which renters at the front house park there cars so you have it being opened in the am and pm .. I thought we were staying in the main house I felt it was misleading would not stay again! Also there are electric issues this place is not safe VRBO your jeopardizing people’s lives by not knowing what your homes are dangerous! ( I have videos of all the issues and will be posting this dirty place and electric issues! I blame VRBO !! ##### Shanie S. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael S.
