Perfect for My Visit
I was in town to see family. This was the perfect place to lay my head each night. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. There was a cute little patio as well. If I come back to town, I will definitely be staying here again.

Even better than the pictures
I arrived at this unit at night, and I was pleasantly surprised that there was motion lighting the entire way to the door. Another nice surprise was that there was water in the fridge for me. It was clean and well equipped and in a very nice neighborhood.I also enjoyed the cozy little courtyard that was just for me. It was nice to sit out in the Florida sunshine.If I ever need to use a Verbo in Sarasota again, I would definitely use that one.

This apartment is attached to a house. Very nice neighborhood. Very close to the airport. The apartment itself had nicely chosen furnishings. Well done. The only negative is you could smell when the homeowner was cooking. I would stay again for a quick trip.
