We had a great stay at this property! The home was spotless and very well maintained. The proximity to the UF campus was perfect. It was super convenient for everything we had planned. The designated parking spot was a HUGE bonus, especially in this area where parking can be a real PIA! The snacks left on the table and the waters in the fridge were such a nice touch and very much appreciated after traveling. We would absolutely stay at this property again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Super convenient location to Shands at UF Health. Clean and updated condo with such cute decoration. My daughter and I had a very comfortable stay for one night for her doctor's appointment the next day. The host even provided coffee, creamer, and a few snacks which were very welcoming and appreciated. The host even had fresh flowers on the table which was such a nice touch. We are saving this location for future stays when my daughter has to travel to Florida for her doctor's appointments!
