This was our 9th winter renting a place in St. Petersburg. It was by far the best. When we arrived, we were impressed with the house. It's an authentic Arts and Craft home, beautifuly painted and maintained. The street is very attractive, filled with mature trees and wonderful flowering plants.
The inside lives up to the outside and then some. It's bright and all the furniture is comfortable. The decor is excellent but not intrusive. (Some people load the shelves with knicknacks and the walls with odd photos.) There are plenty of chests with drawers and big closets to store your belongings. The kitchen is well-equipped and all the appliances are modern and in good working order. There are even sharp knives--a first for me! The bed in the master bedroom was good quality. We used the third bedroom (the one with the sofa bed) as a reading room and computer room. It was delightful. There are two sparkling bathrooms, one with a big walk-in shower. And let's not forget the fabulous wrap-around porch with comfortable chairs and tables. Perfect for reading, having afternoon tea or a glass of wine in the evening. It's just a wonderful place.
We only had a couple of queries for the host, but she replied IMMEDIATELY. It was impressive all around.
