A great place to recuperate

My family rented this property because my mother had surgery at Moffitt. The home was clean, well supplied with the necessities, and tastefully decorated. The yard was tidy and well-maintained. The neighborhood was quiet and offered nearby recreational opportunities at a few local parks that were within walking distance. The host was responsive, attentive, and kind. Should we find ourselves needing a rental in Tampa again, we wouldn't hesitate for a second to rent this beautiful place again.
