First, I would like to know when the owner "rates" tenant. Is it AFTER tenant writes a review of the owner's property?
This property needs attention. It presents well, but there are flaws once you start "living" there. Double bed in smaller bedroom facing water needs to be taken to Dumpster. It is insulting to tenants to provide such a bed for sleeping. King bed is acceptable. I made the mistake of thinking the bedroom TV was in the master king-bed room. No TV in that room. TV is in that smaller bedroom--- My fault for not paying attention. Owner was prompt responding to questions we had about anything and always cordial. No garbage disposal; never would have realized how that matters - you need a perpetual garbage bag handy. We abided by the Owner's "rule" not to put a lawn chair outside of the patio on the grass on the common property. But why this rule? With an enclosed screen patio that prevents a clear view, it would have been nice to just be able to sit right outside of the enclosed patio, in the open air. Certainly others do in the complex, but maybe not "renters." Love this area and complex, been renting for years. Glad it was only the 2 of us so we were in the King bedroom. I would say go ahead and rent this place, but take into consideration what we thought. Perhaps we are too fussy. But the BED in small bedroom is a problem. Another very unusual problem we had was because of very cold weather over the holidays: We nor owner could figure out how to get heat. But how often would that happen in St. Pete!!
