Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sasha G. 24 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely apartment The apartment was very nice and comfortable for our stay. The owner clearly communicated and check in and out was super easy. We went to Mill Creek Farm the retirement home for horses which was so wonderful and I highly recommend. We also really enjoyed a brewery and winery near by (about 10 min drive) Daft Cow and Beaker. The coffee shop I'd recommend is Doxa (about a 5 min drive). Downtown Alachua itself was a little disappointing. It's unfortunate that there aren't more shops and restaurants there as this is a great location with walking proximity to downtown. Hopefully it gets a revival and we'd come back! Thank you again for a great stay though in the apartment. It was cozy and had so many things included (cups, filtered eater, coffee cups, creamer, paper plates, paper towels, silverwear, etc) that was very helpful during our stay. ##### Sasha G.
