DennisI loved my stay here and will return any chance I get. The apartment was very clean and all the amenities worked perfectly. The location is in the perfect part of ybor. You have to enter the back of the building which is literally a few stops from 7th ave but you can exit the building directly onto the sidewalk of 7th ave right in the middle of the strip. The one thing I would like to see changes is they don't allow smoking on the outside balcony. it was a small inconvenience as there are benches on the sidewalk to sit and enjoy a cigar. The free parking provided is about 3 blocks away. Be sure to learn to use the free trolly car. it will take you down town to the Riverwalk theirs a lot to do near the river walk. Tampa has did a very good job welcoming and catering to tourism it has became one of my favorite cities to visit for vacation.

YasmaniI was in town for a work trip and booked this property for a week. the hosts were very responsive with any questions that I had during my trip. Everything was as expected based on the description in the listing and the instructions received after booking. Parking is a few blocks away, as mentioned in the listing. for the most part, there wasn't too much noise. The neighbors did get a little loud some nights and even decided to practice their drums around 2 AM one night - come with some earbuds/ earplugs ready just in case. the location couldn't be better. The property was spotless and spacious for a studio. I would stay here again!

GavinThe apartment is exactly like the pictures and would be awesome without all the noise outside Positive: The apartment was great. It was exactly what we wanted but the downside of all the noise was too much and ended up outweighing the good points about the place. Negative: The noise at the apartment was unbearable. The neighbour next door was up all night talking on the phone or internet, the amount of people and noise in the car park out the back of the apartment was too much, the drummer playing his drums from 2am till 430 was terrible and whilst Ybor is known for the roosters having them crow all through the night was crazy. You need to sound proof the room and it would be fantastic. I actually sent an email regarding this after 2 days to ask for help but got no reply from this. We ended up moving out for 3 days (that's all we could afford) just to get some sleep.

AndreaJust adore this spot! Love the tall ceilings and pristine atmosphere. Little home away from home, somehow a quiet oasis in a crazy little town. Spacious, clean, and has all the necessary amenities. Beautiful artwork on the walls too.

RyanWhen it rained the balcony roof leaked causing the water to get into the space. I called and left a message but no one called back. its was leaking A LOT! There was no way to control the temperature in the unit. The television barley worked and the designated parking was not a short walk! I had to pay for parking because if I walked i would have ruined my shoes and would have been soaked. The far of a walk at night is not safe in that area! The space was clean and the provided hygiene was pleasant but besides that it was unpleasant.

MarshallWe had an amazing stay at CAYA Rentals' Casa Ybor property. First, the location can't be beat - the property is right on 7th street in Ybor. The space itself is wonderful - high ceilings, recently renovated, and comfortable. There isn't a lot of extra space other than the sleeping area; the layout is very similar to a standard hotel room. That said, it looked exactly like the pictures and matched exactly what we needed! There is a full kitchen which was very nice, and it's stocked with everything that you might need. There is also a shared balcony to provide some outdoor space. The hosts were always responsive, the instructions for check-in and house logistics were clear, and we felt very at home during our time there. All in all, this was a great stay, and I definitely hope to return.

LouisReally good spot. All customers bet live every playoff Sunday would stay at again. Positive: Right in the middle of everything. You can walk everywhere; has free parking; can't beat that. The games begin. Very comfortable spot. Negative: There are a lot of steps so be mindful if you have a lot of luggage. Also the parking lot behind the apartment fills with people at night hanging out and partying in their cars. So it can be noisy.

TimYbor City is really an amazing part of Tampa. Lots of historical things by day, including authentic Cuban food, coffee, and cigars. By night there is an amazing amount of night life, including a five story, nightclub cigar bars, and many other others. This unit literally walks right out into the street. The unit itself was clean and perfect as well as very well equipped. Decided to stay an extra day at the last minute and this couldn’t have been easier.
