What a gem of a neighborhood, thank you for hosting us during an especially stressful time coming from an area having a hurricane. Everything was comfortable, easy, quiet and we loved to walk and enjoy the beautiful trees in the neighborhood. ##### Robyn C. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven A.

VERY clean, comfortable (even the beds!), and perfect for a visit to Gainesville. The well-appointed home is in an excellent location on a quiet street. The space was thoroughly cleaned & the yard nicely landscaped. As a host, Jarred was very thoughtful, communicative, and assured we had everything needed for our stay. We will definitely visit again! ##### Sara B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kim m.

We were in town for UF graduation and the space allowed our family, with extended members to stay together. It was an easy drive to campus. The beds were comfortable. There was also good water pressure with plenty of hot water. Jarred was a fantastic host with great communication. ##### kim m.

This is our 3rd use of property and we have more planned for future ##### Patrick and Carmen H.

It was in a quiet neighborhood that was very relaxing and a great spot for walks with our dog. The house was only a 10-15 minute drive to the UF campus. Jarred was a great host, contacting us during our stay to make sure that we had everything we needed. The house was beautifully renovated inside and well equipped with all that we needed for cooking, grilling, and entertainment. We look forward to returning in the future. ##### Suzi S.
