Summary: Studio was super clean and had everything you’d need for a short stay. Location is perfect for exploring Ybor City. A parking spot is provided a few blocks away or you can pay 12.50 to park right in front of the entrance, which was convenient and easy. They provided a box fan, probably to help with the roosters. Very reminiscent of Key West where chickens and roosters are free roaming. It’s part of the cultural experience and quite entertaining.
