It is conveniently located in Gainesville to food, drinks and UF (not walking distance, but easy drive to everything).

We were originally a little hesitant to stay here because we like walking everywhere. It turns out it’s not that far away. We walked the 3 miles to the football game and it was a nice easy walk. Uber back was fast and easy. It’s a smaller one bedroom condo but plenty of room for us. Bathroom was good size with lots of counter space (per my wife). Check in was easy and communication with owner was great excellent. Many good restaurants within a couple minute drive. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Luke C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julianne F. 16 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cheerful, clean, quiet, and convenient! My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting family. Quiet, clean, and the host answered all communications immediately. Host also graciously said I didn't need to do anything for checkout! Due to winter weather, we didn't use the pool like we were hoping to, so I can't review that. But the kitchen, in-unit laundrey, and bath, though a bit dated, were very clean and had basic cooking items in good shape. Altogether a very low-key, clean, fun, easy place to stay. ##### Julianne F. Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle L. 4 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice property The owner is wonderful to work with -- very kind and responsive. The apartment is older but was clean. We stayed 9 nights to visit with our daughter, and there was limited kitchen utensils, towels, kitchen towels for such a long stay. For a weekend, it would have been fine. There is limited sitting for comfort. No table or desk area. Couch is uncomfortable. A good price for a long stay in a good area. ##### Michelle L.
