The location is great, with easy access to restaurants, groceries, and bus lines. The beds were comfy with nice linens, and we especially appreciated having space in the common areas to spread out for different activities - someone working on the porch, another at the table, and 2 having a conversation on the sofa. We were very pleased to see the reverse osmosis water dispenser and found what we needed in the kitchen. We hope to stay here again next time we come to Sarasota. ##### Karen A.
