Sep 20, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Dirty The condo was convient as far as being right next to the hospital. And it was cheaper in price. It was however very porly cleaned. Alot of dust on ceiling fans and under beds. Crumbs in kitchen drawers with silverware just thrown in them. Balled up groceries bags in closet and under cabinets. Crumbs on counter and in the fridge. Hair on toilet base. Crumbs on rug. Someone's hair scrunchies was left by TV stand. I had to wash pans before using them they had stuff on food on them. I ended up cleaning the place myself before bringing in my things. I would definently recommend getting a new cleaner. ##### lizzie m. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Todd B. Mar 29, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### High rate for old condo. This first floor condo unit seemed clean (hard surfaces). It’s very close to Shands and the VA hospital. It is directly adjacent to a busy street and also the entrance driveway to the complex and pool. Noise was a problem during the night. It has 2 front doors, neither of which sealed when closed. This probably contributed to the noise. You could see daylight around the edges of the main door when closed. It needs updates badly and new carpet in the bedrooms and new doors (including the sliding doors in the bedroom and living room) would go a long way to making it comfortable, quieter, and safer. Although parking and access was easy, we will not be renting it again. It may be suitable for young people staying one night for a football game and partying. ##### Todd B.
