Welcome to our newly renovated boho 2nd floor guesthouse in Historic Uptown. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath is an easy walk, bike, or short drive to St Pete downtown restaurants, bars, microbreweries, antique shops, museums, live entertainment and so much more. Central Ave is less than a mile and the beach is a 20 minute drive away. This centrally-located, quiet, and peaceful space includes Wi-Fi, 65" and 55" smart TVs, fully stocked kitchen, central air, and a zen inspired covered front porch.
The space
The space was designed to feel light, bright, and airy while including lots of fun and colorful artwork reflecting beautiful Florida. It has just been completely renovated and has lots of windows providing plenty of natural light throughout. The apartment is on the 2nd floor of a large house on a brick lined street in Historic Uptown District and will have everything you need for a relaxing stay.
All the bedrooms have very comfortable mattresses with soft 100% cotton linens, fluffy pillows, warm comforters, and blackout shades for the MOST restful sleep. Bedroom 1 has a queen sized bed and 55" smart TV, bedroom 2 has a queen bed and bedroom 3 has a full sized daybed with single trundle.
Large open kitchen with lots of granite counter space for prepping meals and island seating for 4. The kitchen is equipped with brand new full-sized appliances including gas range, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher as well as an oversized deep sink, toaster, K-cup coffee maker and coffee pods, pots, pans, basic cooking tools, wine opener, salt, pepper, evoo, cling wrap, foil, baggies, and paper products.
The living room features a 65" smart TV with Netflix. It also has a desk, rolling chair, and router (with an accessible ethernet port on the router) to be used as a dedicated workspace. The desk lamp has a wireless phone charging pad. Super fast Wi-Fi throughout. There are new remote-controlled ceiling fans in the bedrooms, office, and living room. The sofa in the living room opens up to sleep an additional person but does not have a pullout mattress. It is more futon style and simply folds flat. It is technically a bed, but of course, the queen beds are far more comfortable for an adult to sleep in.
Both bathrooms are newly renovated and have plenty of lighting and mirrors. The larger bathroom has a desk/vanity area with plenty of outlets, a bench and lighted makeup mirror. And there are multiple full-length mirrors to help you get ready for your day or night out.
4 beach towels, sunblock, small cooler, icepack, and beach chairs are supplied, so you'll be ready to hit the beach as soon as you get here. And we've got you covered with all those little extras you may have forgotten at home including: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, qtips, cotton balls and wipes, blow dryer, first aid supplies, etc.
There is a shared laundry room in the semi fenced-in backyard beneath the rear garage which has Costco pods and fabric sheets marked "AIRBNB".
There is free street parking in the front of the house. Enter via the front porch steps, and the apartment is through the door on the left up 1 flight of stairs. There is a small patio with a pink table and chairs in the small, partially fenced backyard area. The table and chairs are shared, and it is in a breezeway area where other guests may walk by.
Cleanliness is a priority for me, so the apartment is professionally cleaned and you will see many of the guests mention how clean the place is in their reviews.
Guest access
The house is very close to downtown making additional street parking in the surrounding area a bit difficult. However, this particular street isn't too bad and there is usually a free parking spot available on the same block. I highly recommend a scooter or bike to get around.
Other things to note
This apartment is the 2nd floor of a large old house. The walls and floors are pretty soundproof; however, please keep in mind there are neighbors below you. Taking shoes off during any late night or very early morning coming and goings would be appreciated. If you are traveling with children who wake up early, please keep this in mind.
Also, being this close to downtown, buildings are closer together. Occasional car doors opening, and closing may be heard. Since the bedroom windows are a bit thin and older, we included a small white noise machine in the master bedroom nightstand in case any of the normal neighborhood activity is a disturbance to your sleep. Some of the older windows fall back down when opened, but the new windows in the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and office function perfectly.
We welcome well-behaved dogs under 40 lbs. 1 dog maximum per visit. If you don't 100% trust your dog in this newly renovated space, please bring along a crate or do not leave the dog unattended in the house. No dogs allowed on beds, furniture, or linens. Barking dogs will disturb the 1st floor tenant and you will be asked to leave with no refund if this is an issue.
For those with severe fragrance allergies, I want to disclose that there is a plug-in air freshener in the apartment. You are welcome to unplug this while you are staying in the unit. We also use standard cleaning products which contain fragrance, and the linens are washed with standard laundry detergent and dryer sheets which also have fragrance.
This property is managed by the owner (that's me), so you can be sure the place is spotless and well loved.
