About the host

Hosted by Franklin Ruffin

Host profile image
Hi, we are Franklin and Edn! We are enthusiastic travelers who love exploring new cultures, which inspired us to create a special space for guests in our own backyard. We named our tiny home 'The Gojjo Retreat' as a nod to Edn’s Eritrean heritage—'Gojjo' traditionally refers to a cozy home. We built this space to offer the same warmth and hospitality we look for when we travel. We live in the main house on the property and are happy to share tips on our favorite local spots or give you total privacy to relax.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it offers the perfect balance of a quiet, tree-lined residential street and incredible access to the best of Orlando. We are located in the 32803 zip code, just moments away from the Audubon Park Garden District and Harry P. Leu Gardens. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone who wants to live like a local—walkable, friendly, and full of independent cafes, vintage shops, and great dining, all while being a short drive from downtown and the parks.

What makes this property unique

The Gojjo Retreat isn't just a rental; it’s a brand-new, custom-built luxury tiny home completed in 2025. In fact, it was built in partnership with 'Florida Made Tiny Homes' to serve as a showroom model, meaning the craftsmanship, finishes, and attention to detail are top-tier. You get the novelty of tiny living without sacrificing luxury, featuring high-end fixtures and a thoughtfully designed layout that feels surprisingly spacious.
