Briefly visited Gainesville to visit family, and couldn’t have asked for an easier cuter stay. Much appreciated the responsive host, and well decorated space." "Kate’s place is GORGEOUS! So clean, so many small touches and conveniences. It was a lovely place to stay in Gainesville, and I would definitely stay at one of Kate’s places again." "An absolute gem of a location! Kate was very responsive and helpful. The place was perfect for our game day weekend and is beautifully decorated. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, especially on such short notice on our end. We will be recommending this location to our friends and will definitely be staying here again. Kate crushed it. Thank you for such a wonderful stay." "Kate’s place is always so lovely, clean and inviting to stay at. We love the convenience to downtown and are so appreciative that we are able to bring our large pup with us when we visit Gainesville. I love recommending her place to anyone that’s planning a Gainesville trip." Follow us on social! IG: abetterwaytogetaway Guest access The entire home (no shared spaces), 2 parking spaces (plus open street parking if needed) and a fenced in backyard The home is also PET-FRIENDLY! My goal is for you to know exactly the home you're booking so it meets and exceeds your expectations so you may have an excellent getaway! As you enter the street you will see some of the initial homes are rentals and not as nicely kept, while the rear/remainder of the street are all family homes. It is a wonderfully centrally located, safe, and quiet neighborhood. Gainesville is an eclectic mixing bowl of renters, students and families alike! I have been happily hosting (now thousands of guests) here for over 8 years and I lived here myself for 4! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hosting you! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Water dispenser ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Fenced yard - Fully-fenced ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances;
