The apartment is very obviously newly built or refurbished. Everything is clean and modern. We stayed 2 nights to go to Rays games. The apartment is very near Tropicana field but far enough away not to feel the traffic and crowds attending the game. Area was very quiet but close to restaurants and downtown. We did not visit the beach this trip, but I'm sure it would be easily accessible as well. Parking was a little odd, as no one was quite sure where to park. However, we were able to park in the driveway long enough to unload and load the car. House would be more inviting with some visitor information available - where to go, what to do recommendations i.e. grocery/drug stores, restaurants, attractions. Also a list (reminder) of check out times and procedures. Most of my VRBO (Home Away) experiences include a welcome (guest info) binder with helpful tidbits about the accommodation, property and surrounding area - makes you feel a little bit more at home. I had to work for a few hours - WIFI was very good. We would stay again. We enjoyed St. Pete.
