We truly felt at home from the moment we arrived. James and Hanna thought of absolutely everything, even the smallest details were carefully prepared. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and they welcomed us with cupcakes, which was such a thoughtful and special touch. The house is very comfortable, the AC works perfectly, and we always felt safe. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room were fully stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of board games, and our kids were happily entertained the entire time. The backyard is beautiful and perfectly set up for relaxing. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it! 🌟

This was our refuge from the hurricane! We were originally in St. Pete. The Host at SoLiving "Gustavo" was very prompt with responses, as I had questions about amenities. They proved to be a very professional, yet caring and accommodating person. I'm very happy we found this place, as we always fly in and out of Tampa. It's a place I would go to every trip. The wildlife surrounding and the pond is well cared for. The place itself is one of those rare places that looks even better than described or photographed. Attention to detail is above and beyond. Don't look elsewhere, just pick this place and enjoy the trip. We were traveling with another couple and we all loved it. The lay out is perfect to hang out together and retire separately and have privacy. Its truly perfect. Thank you Gustavo & SoLiving!

This house is exactly as described. My family and I had a great time enjoying the home. They literally had everything stocked right down to laundry detergent. The beach chairs and cooler were great as I did not have to buy beach chairs while visiting St. Pete Beach. Plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were spotless. House came stocked with plenty of bath towels, wash clothes and hand towels as well as a few beach towels. St. Pete Beach is about a 15-20 minute drive. We were in town for my son's travel baseball tournament and on the go the whole week we stayed. You do have to drive to most places such as beach, shops and restaurants but the house is centrally located so this was not a problem. I have teenage kids and was hoping they could walk to different places but this was not possible as the house is located on a busy street. Our host was very responsive and answered all of my questions and concerns immediately.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By far one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. The home was exactly as described and honestly exceeded expectations. Cleanliness was top tier, and the organization of the space was so thoughtful it truly felt like a home, not a rental. Everything needed for a comfortable, easy, and pleasant stay was already there. The location was perfect close to great restaurants, grocery stores, and major roads, which made getting around effortless. The neighborhood felt safe, and having parking directly in front of the home was a huge plus. The host, Niko, was phenomenal. He was extremely responsive, proactive, and genuinely attentive throughout the stay. His communication was fast, clear, and considerate, with thoughtful check-ins to make sure everything was going well. Check-in and check-out were seamless and stress-free. Overall, an excellent experience from start to finish. I was highly satisfied and wo

Five stars all around for our two-week stay! One of the best Airbnbs in St. Petersburg, with a fantastic central location and an amazing host. Niko’s place is at 4th St. N & 54th Ave. N (Walk Score: 76), just 11 minutes to downtown St. Pete and 20 minutes to St. Pete Beach. Walkable to restaurants and 4th Street shops, with the waterfront, museums, and beaches just a short drive away. The brand-new, spacious 1BR/1BA has beautiful finishes, a very comfortable king bed, huge walk-in closet, ice-cold AC, fast Wi-Fi, dedicated desk, washer/dryer, and more. The large enclosed backyard is pet-friendly and dreamy at night with its tall trees. Niko is the perfect host with instant replies and made our stay completely seamless. Ideal for couples or remote workers looking for a quiet, well-equipped, centrally located St. Pete base. And don't miss Small Batch Creamery for seriously delicious ice cream just a couple blocks away! 🍦
This was my first time booking and I would definitely stay and recommend Gustavo’s property. Cleanliness 10 out of 10!!!! Space is identical to the photos. Please read the fine print thoroughly because my group did not and upon arrival, realized it’s on the 3rd floor with no elevator access (although we all enjoyed the extra workout). The weather was cold 30 - 50s during our trip and the space heats up quickly for the smaller rooms, however the master bedroom did heat up like the rest of the home. There were NO BUGS!!!! The linens and towels were clean. The space provides everything you need in a kitchen. Space was comfortable and cozy, but in my opinion does not accommodate more than 7 adults to sleep comfortably with the bed size/rooms. Cleaners do arrive promptly at scheduled departure time, so be sure to give yourself enough time to clear out your belongings way before check out time. Gustavo thank you for being a wonderful host!

This is the second time I have stayed at the Westchase location. Last time we stayed a 3 bedroom with SoLiving, this time I stayed in a 2 bedroom. Both experiences have been exceptional. Any "wish list" critique would solely be a personal preference critique (ie: firmness of mattresses) as everything was fantastic both times. And lets just say that 'wish list item' do does deter me enough ... as I will be booking with them at the same location again. The Westchase complex and area as a whole is wonderful. Westchase is pretty much 20-25 from anything and yet you don't feel like you are in the city of Tampa. Any time I reached out SoLiving is quick acting and so helpful. Gustavo is AMAZING! Communication top notch, along with kindness.

This apartment was perfect for my family and I. My parents were very impressed with the cleanliness and the neighbourhood. The pool is a few minute walk down a lovely sidewalk passing by beautiful scenery. We were within 5-10 minutes from amazing restaurants and grocery stores. I would highly recommend as my family and I were pleased. The check in was easy and the host provided exceptionally detailed information on what to except and the check in/ check out process. Kitchen was stocked and great for cooking. Very comfortable open concept and nice mattresses. It’s on the second floor of the complex yet easy to locate and access. Parking was no issue for us. I would stay here again.
