About this apartment rental

Welcome to Romeo`s Reserve, named for Romeo y Julieta, one of Ybor City`s most celebrated cigar brands. Here, upscale design meets old-world Ybor charm — right in the neighborhood that made the name famous.

This second-floor unit is dressed in rich, Cuban-inspired decor - deep leather tones, warm wood accents, and vintage touches that nod to the neighborhood`s storied past - all set beneath dramatic vaulted ceilings that give the space an open, airy, boutique-hotel feel. Every detail has been curated so your stay feels less like a typical rental and more like your own upscale corner of Ybor City.

The unit sits perfectly for exploring Ybor: it`s located directly above the beloved Pete`s Bagels (your coffee and breakfast run is downstairs) and right next to a well-kept neighborhood dog park, ideal for guests traveling with a pup. You`re just steps from Ybor City`s famous 7th Avenue strip - the heart of the district`s dining, nightlife, and cigar shops - but because you`re tucked about three blocks off the main drag, you`ll enjoy a quiet, restful stay away from the late-night buzz. Next door you`ll find Julieta`s Vintage, a sister unit available to rent separately, making this a great option for groups who want connected but private accommodations.

The Space:
The kitchen is fully equipped with a Smeg refrigerator, stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, a range hood, and a gas stove — ready for a home-cooked meal or entertaining, with a dining area that seats four just steps away. Upscale, cigar-themed decor carries through the open living space beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, and a large smart TV rounds things out for movie nights or catching the game. You`ll also have a private, in-unit washer and dryer, and the unit is pet-friendly, so your best friend is welcome to join you. Please note this is a second-floor unit with no elevator.

Sleeping arrangements:
- 1 Queen bed with a hybrid memory foam mattress
- 1 Queen sleeper sofa, also fitted with a hybrid memory foam mattress — comfortable for a third and fourth guest

- Parking: Free street parking is available to guests. To take advantage of it, simply submit your registration information as instructed in your check-in guide — we`ll make sure you`re all set before you arrive.

The Neighborhood: Ybor City Ybor City is one of Tampa`s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods, founded in the late 1800s by cigar makers who built it into `the Cigar Capital of the World.` That heritage still shapes the district today — you`ll feel the deep Cuban and Italian influence in the architecture, the food, and the culture at every turn, from classic cafecito windows to century-old social clubs. By day it`s brick-lined streets and cigar shops; by night, 7th Avenue comes alive with restaurants, live music, and nightlife — and you`ll be perfectly positioned to enjoy all of it while still having a quiet place to come home to.

Getting Around: Ybor City is one of Tampa`s most walkable neighborhoods, and with 7th Avenue just a few blocks away, you likely won`t need a car for most of your stay. The historic TECO Line Streetcar — known locally as the trolley — runs right through the district, connecting Ybor to downtown Tampa, the Channelside District, and the Riverwalk — a scenic, easy way to get around without driving. Rideshare pickup is available throughout the neighborhood, and Tampa International Airport is just a short drive away for guests flying in.

I loved everything about Casa Romeo. The furnishings, the kitchen, the location were all top notch. The dog park next door was also a treat. I will definitely stay here again.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
This property is absolutely beautiful, perfectly appointed and spotlessly clean. The hosts were communicative, informative and 100% available. There is adorable and relevant artwork, high quality appliances, towels, even a washer and dryer - every detail has been meticulously thought out and clearly well cared for. I love Ybor and fully realize that it is not a secluded or "country quiet" place. However, the coffee/bagel shop directly beneath the unit, even though it is a brand new building, has a VERY heavy door that SLAMS over and over, every few seconds, nonstop from 8 AM to 3 PM all day every day - it literally shakes the walls. My pet was terrified and cowered under the bed. A simple, soft close door addition would 100% fix this problem. We notified the owners, and so hopefully this can be remedied, because we LOVED the place, and other than that door slamming, the street and area were peaceful and lovely. And, if you are planning to be gone during the day, then this would be a non issue. We would absolutely return, if the door issue at the bagel shop is resolved.

Great location for a week long business trip. Within walking distance of great restaurants and bars, and a 5 minute Uber to the convention center. Super clean and comfortable. Property owners were a pleasure to deal with and made the stay super easy. Looking to return next time I’m in town.
