About the host
Hosted by Elena; Local Haven Stays
As a proud UF Alumni, I have recently returned to my roots in the historic district within the heart of Gainesville, Florida!
I am passionate about hosting, travel, short-term rentals specializing in elevated luxury and unique spaces. I have been in the hospitality industry for 15 years and love meeting new people! I’ve been told I never meet a stranger.
There’s something magical about submersing yourself within local culture and community. I believe in authentic human connections while providing beautiful spaces of solidarity and comfort.
