We notified the host that we’d be arriving late, but when we got there, she didn’t realize we were the guests and came outside shouting profanities, which was really startling. She apologized the next morning and issued a small credit, which we appreciated.We left the space in great condition (stripped the bed and gathered towels), so we were surprised to receive a message after checkout saying the place wasn’t left well. There was no damage or mess, so we’re not sure what the concern was.Overall, the stay was fine, but the communication and check-in experience were unpredictable and made us feel a bit uncomfortable. ##### Maggie L.

This place is located in Towles Court, a cool little artist colony. We had an awesome stay here, the apartment fit all of our needs. Loved the wall to wall windows. Highly recommend! ##### Scott H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harold D. 15 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Another lovely stay! 2nd stay at Christie’s bright and clean upstairs apartment! This is such a convenient location to walk and explore all of Sarasotas downtown restaurants. The new Bayrunner shuttle makes getting to Lido Beach for an early morning walk so easy too. Fun trip! ##### Harold D.
