Perfect location in the heart of Ybor.

The property was everything we expected. We were in town for the Heritage Festival and everything including the event was a short walk. No car needed. The only recommendation is for lights on the outside stairwell and back door entrance so it could be better lit. It was hard to see the stairs and keypad for the back door. We would definitely stay again.

Ybor Loft

Old building with charm. Rental property is on the 2nd floor of a large building and has a spacious common room with wrap-around couch, large TV, and a billiards table. Front deck has plenty of room to relax at night with a drink and a cigar from the local J.C. Newman factory. The location is great if you intend to visit 7th Avenue to take advantage of the bars, cigar shops, and restaurants that Ybor has to offer. Can walk to La Segunda bakery and J.C. Newman. Trolley stop is two blocks away and can get you to the shinier parts of downtown Tampa (Riverwalk, Armature, Sparkman Wharf, Amalie Arena). Constructive Feedback/Tips -The exterior stairs to enter the loft resemble a fire escape and could be difficult to navigate with large luggage. -The 4th bedroom is more of a converted sitting room with a trundle-style bed and couch. If you plan to use the deck at night, this room is a high traffic area and not ideal for light sleepers. To go from living room to deck, or living room to 3rd bedroom, you must walk through the 4th bedroom. -There is no hallway bathroom. The two bathrooms are connected to the 1st bedroom and the 2nd bedroom. Anyone not sleeping in those two bedrooms has to risk disturbing/waking the occupants.

Great Location Near Lots of Breweries and Restaurants

Humongous space with nice balcony and pool table, near lots of breweries and restaurants within walking distance. One block away from free tram. A bit noisy on weekend nights with the nearby clubs, so not for light sleepers. Check-in and out was smooth.

Mixed Feelings

Our stay is filled with mixed feelings. The space and location was wonderful. Parking was great. However, the unit was not set up to accommodate the number of guests that can comfortably stay. The two bathrooms are in bedrooms leaving the third bedroom and trundle sleeper without a bath to use except through one of the other rooms. Other than on the balcony, there is only a kitchen table that seats four and the kitchen was not equipped well enough to handle 8 guests. The biggest issue was the entrance stairs. Access is up a narrow, steep set of exterior metal stairs. We did not have too much of an issue due to a younger group but if anyone in a group has difficulties with stairs this is NOT the place for you. Overall I give it 3 stars because it was such a good location and overall space but I doubt I would stay again. There are too many other options.

Convenient Location

Very convenient location right near the trolley, good value for the price. Lots of space, nice to sit on the balcony. There is a nightclub very close by so bring your earplugs if you're a light sleeper. The iron stairs were a little intimidating for my 76 year old mom but the adults thought it was fun. The gated parking was a bonus.

About the host

Hosted by Lauren T

Host profile image
We love having this vacation rental property. We completely renovated the property in 2008, updating the kitchen, bathrooms and much more while still keeping the original charm of the building. We moved out of the property into the 'burbs' with our first child but are glad we were able to keep it so other guests can come stay and enjoy the city of Ybor!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! You will gasp when you walk in the door and see this hidden gem in the heart of Centro Ybor City. The 11 foot ceilings and skylights in the living room make it that much more fabulous then I've been able to capture in the pictures here.

What makes this property unique

Walk to everything in Ybor or hop on the trolley to Channelside and Downtown Tampa!
