    I have a family of 3 as well as a fur baby and was looking for a home that was clean, safe, reasonably priced and conveniently located near downtown Gainesville.I found it! This home has all the amenities you or your family will need- regardless of the length of your stay.My family and I stayed for a total of 9 days and not one day did I have any complaints or issues.There is a really awesome park within waking distance that my kid and my dog absolutely enjoyed.If you’re into the bar scene, all of the bars are within walking distance so there is no need for an Uber if you have “one too many”.I’ve saved this location as my FAV and plan on making this my home away from home!Go Gators!

    The townhome was cozy, clean, and comfortable. The host really pays attention to detail with having essentials such as toiletries, dish soap, kitchen and grill ware, etc. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the home.
