From the owner: "I’m glad to hear the home was comfortable and that you had a good stay overall. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us, even with your late arrivals, and we hope to host you again on your next visit. Thank you for your review!"
Host went above & beyond by instantly returned my voicemail questioning the house number. Also informed me of personal belongings I left behind & agreed to mail them out to me. Great comfy, cozy, clean dwelling. Definetly will stay again!!!
This unit is perfect for a visit to University of Florida-- close enough to be a 5-10 minute drive to campud, but far enough away to be quiet and restful. The unit has everything you could possibly need, is clean and comfortable, and has some very cute accents (the alligator paper towel holder was a favorite with my Gator and her sibling). A few hiccups didn't cause any issues, and the host was easy to reach. Will definitely stay here again when in Gainesville.
