This is a great and spacious apartment in a great location to stay when visiting UF. Comfortable beds and TVs in all rooms. Host was always available and great communication. Would definitely stay here again. It’s about a 45 minute easy walk to the football stadium from the unit.

Disappointed!

I was not impressed with this apartment. First of all, I really don’t think it was cleaned before we arrived. There was a bathroom drawer with clothes and underwear under the sink. The 2nd bedroom had pieces of French fries and cigarette butts/joint on the edge of the rug. I spotted a few dust balls as well and the baseboards full of dust. So disgusting! I did send an email and they responded quickly and came to vacuum the next day. A little noisy at night to sleep because they are right on the street. The best thing about this apartment was the location.
