Gainesville stay

Bruce was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our weekend very much and the house was great. Everything was just as described in the booking. We had a nice evening around the fire pit also. Would definitely love to rent again

Location

Great location in a quiet neighborhood! We took the Über there from the airport, and walked everywhere we needed to be over the course of 2.5 days. That's a welcome change from my usual travels.

Lovely Location

We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for going to games at the University or walking to downtown for dinner. Nice sized backyard with parking so we did not have to park on the street. Owner was helpful and easy to get in touch with.

About the host

Your host

Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan where my parents purchased their first student rental to rent to University of Michigan students in 1963. I learned hospitality from the best teachers ever. Michigan winters aren't for me so my wife came to Gainesville and now root for the GATORS!

Why they chose this property

Downtown is where it's happening. Drive down University EVERY night and it's always hopping with activity and vibrant night life. Free concerts at Bo Diddley Plaza are the coolest thing ever! https://www.gainesvillefl.gov/Venues/Bo-Diddley-Plaza
