This property was a great value for staying so close to Ybor City and as a gateway to Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Pete. The rental gave our party plenty of added room and amenities for the prices of a hotel room. We found the accommodation to be very clean and functional with tasteful decor. Our host, Ernest, was very attentive. He contacted us before our arrival, during our stay, and at check out. He is a gem.
One note about previous reviews citing the rental was in a questionable neighborhood. I did not find that to be the case once I explored the area. Ybor City is a redevelopment area and there is an authenticity staying with people who have been in the area as established residents. I also believe you have to accept that you are staying in someone's vacation home. This is not a hotel. As such, you sacrifice some of the cookie-cutter sterility for character.
If your goal is to be close to Ybor City, consider this rental in your planning.
The place was nice and had everything we need, however, it was not in the safest place. Lots of people roaming, barking dogs, stray cats, and cawing chickens at 4am.

Everything was exactly as the internet stated. The place was clean and everything we needed was there. The owner (Ernest) was right next door and extremely accomodating.

My family and I had a great time in Ybor City, Tampa. The rental property was in the perfect location considering we spent the entire week exploring the different activities Tampa has to offer. I will definitely look into renting this place again on our next trip to Tampa Bay.
