An Art-Filled Garden Apartment Near Parks and Downtown

Artist’s Way is a thoughtfully designed garden apartment located in the Banyan Cottage, just behind the main Banyan House. This ground-floor residence offers a creative, relaxed atmosphere that feels personal, comfortable, and distinctly local.

The apartment is filled with original artwork and color, creating a gallery-like space that reflects St. Petersburg’s vibrant arts community without feeling overstyled. Natural light, curated details, and a calm layout make it well suited for couples, creatives, and guests who appreciate character and design.

The living area provides comfortable seating and a TV for unwinding after a day out, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to enjoy meals at home. Two restful bedrooms offer quiet places to recharge, and the overall layout is easy to settle into whether you’re staying a few nights or a bit longer.

Guests enjoy direct access to a covered patio just outside the apartment, ideal for morning coffee or a quiet moment in the evening. The larger garden deck and yard at the rear of the property are shared with other units and offer additional outdoor space for dining, relaxing, or spending time outside.

Artist’s Way sits next to a neighborhood park with walking paths, a scenic pond, and a landmark banyan tree. This green space is a favorite for morning walks and relaxed time outdoors, adding a peaceful counterbalance to the nearby energy of the city.

The apartment is located in a walkable neighborhood close to coffee shops, neighborhood dining, and local favorites. Downtown St. Petersburg, Central Avenue, the waterfront, and the city’s museums and cultural attractions are all just minutes away.

Artist’s Way offers a creative yet comfortable place to stay, combining local art, outdoor access, and a central location in one of St. Petersburg’s most established neighborhoods.

Apartment was very easy for check-in, and suited our needs well for our stay here. Bedrooms were as pictured. Few repairs needed to areas of floor that they are aware of and started work on while we were away during the daytime. Would certainly return. Host VERY responsive to questions and concerns, and responded very quickly.

Great stay at The Artist’s way!

My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to St. Petersburg. We used the Looper Trolley to get around and walked to local restaurants and museums! The icing on the cake was to return each evening to such a cute and comfortable apartment. Loved the artwork and attention to all the things to make our visit comfortable!

Great Weekend Getaway Downtown St. Pete

A friend and I stayed here just for a night to get away for a weekend in Downtown St. Pete. This location was a short uber ride to downtown, perfect for getting to and from the night life St. Pete has to offer! Very clean, easy check-in and check-out. Parking was street parking, but there were several spots available right around the corner. Would recommend!

St. Petersburg Visit

The property is in a great location. We were visiting for an event at Vinoy Park. It was an easy walk to the park. The property was clean and quiet. It is a nice neighborhood and I enjoyed taking a walk around the little pond nearby. The pond is healthy with blue herons, many species of ducks, turtles, and friendly people out walking their dogs.

Cute historic home

The cottage was so cute, the park around the corner was a nice oasis, and there were nearby restaurants to walk to. This home was close enough for a quick drive to all the places we wanted to see downtown but in a historic quiet neighborhood. Yina was easy to communicate with and responded promptly when we needed to modify our dates. I was a little concerned about not having dedicated parking, but I found a close spot every time we left and came back. I would stay here again.

Above and beyond!

We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Location is perfect for walking or biking to local restaurants and around the beautiful park just steps away. My husband and I stayed with our 2 year old son for a few days of beach, sunken gardens, and children's museum. We parked the car upon arrival and didn't move it until check out as everything was biking distance. We accidentally left behind my son's beloved stuffed animal the cleaning and management team were so kind and communicative. After we checked out they spent time to locate it and even made a trip to the post office to pack it up and shipp it home to us. Amazing!

Unfortunately Not Very Clean or Quality As Posted

Bathroom wasn't cleaned between guests- hair in the shower, dirty paper/urine in the toilet, toe nail clipping on the floor, dusty/dirty shelves. Reached out to the host and they said to put the dirty rag wherever I'd like, and didn't mention the nail clippings or hair 😵 Furniture just wasn't all that great- couch was dirty, sponge was super old, floors hadn't been swept or vacuumed, counter height chairs were way too tall so can't sit on them to eat or anything, and the place is much smaller than the photos let on (think they were taken with a wide lens)... Super unfortunate because the location and outside are was great.

Great location, but tiny and underequipped

The location is awesome and is the reason we chose it. It was walkable to Vinoy Park to our music festival and also to downtown. Uber rides are pretty cheap to any of those locations also. There's a nice park, coffee shop, bar, and pickleball close by. Parking is a bit of an issue if you're gone in the evenings as it's all street parking and you may not find anything within a couple of blocks. The area seems safe though. The place is tiny. There is barely room in each bedroom for a bed and two people can't get dressed at the same time. There are no dressers or night stands. One room has a small closet, but the other one has nothing. You have to open and close your suitcase each time you need something. That's inconvenient over 4 days. The bathroom is tiny also, and you get four towels for four days for four people. We asked for replacements, but the owner's response was "we're not a hotel, go wash them at a laundromat." The kitchen was decently equipped but again very tiny. If you're just staying for a good location and a place to sleep it should be fine, but if you're planning on spending any time there I wouldn't recommend it. Obviously you'll need to bring extra towels. Don't expect any help or assistance from the owners if you need anything.

Außergewöhnlich stilvolles Appartement

Gute Lage am Rande der Innenstadt in einem netten und gefühlt sicheren Wohnviertel. Alles so angetroffen wie beschrieben, sogar eine Flasche Wein stand zur Begrüßung bereit. Achtung: das zweite Schlafzimmer hat nur einen sehr kleine Kleidernische. Sonst perfekt auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt. Empfehlung: - Freitags ab 19 Uhr mal im nur 400 Meter südlich entfernten ältesten Shuffleboard Club der Welt vorbeischauen! - Essen und trinken: "The Bier Boutique" 200 Meter nördlich, gut und günstig!
