Romeo`s Reserve | Vaulted Ceilings, Cigar-Lounge Style, Right in the Heart of Historic Ybor City

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.
