Sorry that you didn't encounter the best experience. However, we take cleanliness seriously and try our best to accommodate guests requests. We offered you full refund as soon as you complained after check-in but you refused and decided to stay the whole time. Then calling to ask for a full refund, which is an inappropriate practice. This guest's review is untruthful and exaggerated.

The property is located in a really nice neighborhood and it kept tidy. It is conveniently located close to shops and restaurants. The parking arrangement needs some work.

Thank you Cleveland! We are glad you like the place.There are limited guests parking around the community, so guests in the house once in a while need to coordinate for the arrangement. I always suggest guests who come back earlier to park at a spot and reserve the driveway for later guests.

the owner is absolutely wonderful and kind. the house itself is in a bit of a sketchy neighborhood but the inside is newly renovated. if you are not interested in sharing the house with other guests, make sure you book the en suite master room/guesthouse. overall, for the price, its definitely worth it.

Thank you Lakaela For staying with us! Please rest assure, the neighborhood is very safe. I come to the property all the time to do check-ups and manage it. So no worries. I’m glad you feel it worth it as we are trying to provide the affordable option to travelers.

I was looking for a cheaper option to catch the Taylor Swift concert in Tampa and this spot was perfect. It was about 27 minutes from the Raymond James Stadium which worked out for me. The room was clean and it was a quiet stay. It was also in what looks like a newer neighborhood in the area. I'll definitely be checking out this spot again if I'm ever in the Tampa area in the future.

Zen is an awesome host. She let me checkin in a little earlier dues to an overnight flight into Tampa. She was very accomodating. The neighbourhood is beautiful and quiet. Definitely need a car to get around, mind you it isnt far from downtown Tampa but aside from that little minor detail... i highly recommend this property. I will be staying here again if available when I return.

Great location and an even greater deal!
All I needed was a place to stay for 5 nights somewhere near Tampa, FL for an event I was participating in. All the local motels and hotels were very expensive! The price for this property was very inexpensive! The bedroom was in a relatively new condo. It was spacious with a nice en-suite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Also a laundry room next to the bedroom. There were two long term residents there who were very nice and we seldom crossed paths. The property owner was responsive and I look forward to staying there again on any future trips to Tampa.

I really blessed with getting ZenHomes. My wife n son n I stayed to the place for some days and we felt like its our home and what we need, we got exactly those.. If u want Hotel feelings but want to stay in Airbnb, this is the combination of it. Kitchen setup extremely well, Rooms are well decorated and organized. Location is pretty well and part of community which is really great.. everything is near by such as food location, Park areas. Owner is extremely Flexible n provide all support quickly. Service, bathroom, kitchen, location and parking slot are amazing.. I did not find any single cons during our stay.. All cudos to Owner. I really recommend my friends to choose this place to get comfort.. 🙏

Deceived
Deceiving... I was not happy with my stay it was quite horrible. From the various cameras in the home to having the owner stay in the home with us which was not stated. Home was not clean it was visibly lived in. Parking was horrible owner blocked us in various times. The sheets felt like they were not washed and the bathroom was also not cleaned. There was no television available to watch either. The entire experience was awful.

Hi Yveslisse, sorry to hear your experience was not the best. Firstly, cameras were disclosed in the listing. Each room is rented out individually. So cameras present to enforce mutual respect among guests. It happened on those dates that you only booked 1 room, but I was generous to let you use 2 rooms because it was available. The room you booked was a double room with clearly no TV, but you could use one in the shared living room (I’m not sure if you used it) Secondly, this is my home, I live here a few days as well. We can better communicate about parking if you were more open. There was only 1 time you called me to move my car and I did instantly. I wash all sheets and clean the rooms and bathroom every time a guest checking out. I also list these rooms on Airbnb and Booking, you can check those reviews about how clean my place is. Maybe you saw wrinkles because I only wash and dry the sheets, but not iron them. This is a common practice at homestay, not hotels. Please consider that. I strongly believe this review was written by your daughter, who wasn’t on the reservation or staying there at all. I met you and your son, you both were fine and have no complaints when I actually living there with you guys on those dates. I hope you have better experience next time at another homestay. Otherwise, a hotel would be a better option.

I really loved my stay at Zen’s home.. She communicated with me expediently after booking my reservations; I wanted to extend my stay, but due to a lack of availability it wasn’t possible.. However, Zen went above and beyond to find me additional accommodation within her community.. she made necessary arrangements with an equally cordial family within her the same community.. I will say the homes are very nice and quiet within this community..
