Mar 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Sarasota is just great! The apartment was decent; honestly, I expected somewhat nicer based on the price, but I think Sarasota is just expensive! Great communication from the owner though! It could use a few upgrades but with rentals I think this is pretty common. The location was close to a Publix which was nice-quiet street, just on the nosier end of it. ##### Fit W.
