Downtown 2 BR/ 2 Baths- Close to UF/ Restaurants!
Enjoy this newly refurbished bright and cheerful downtown duplex. Unit B of the historic duplex has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Experience downtown Gainesville at your fingertips. Walk to all of Gainesville's best restaurants and bars.

We are looking forward to hosting you! Pet rules: Some restrictions apply- We allow up to 2 dogs and up to 50 lbs each. No cats, please.
We hope you'll enjoy the vibrant, downtown neighborhood! The home is walking distance to the restaurants, shops, bars, parks and more! It is also less than a mile from UF Because of the downtown location, the sidewalks are frequented (it is not a gated neighborhood). We hope you'll enjoy the charm.
Please note that the AirBNB extenuating circumstances cancellation policy does not cover hurricanes in Florida or COVID, but the insurance covers both 100%. We ask that you please purchase AirBNB cancellation insurance at check-out in order to cover any unforeseen changes that would cause a cancellation or early departure that is outside of the cancellation window (i.e. weather related, health related, flight issues, etc...). AirBNB offers insurance at check-out and if a circumstance arises that would cause a cancellation or early departure (outside of the cancellation range, or an early departure that arises during your stay), then the insurance policy will refund you 100% as long as it's within the terms. Thanks! And we hope that nothing would come up that would interfere with the trip, but we want to make sure you're covered just in case. If no insurance policy is purchased, that's OK, too- we are happy to open up the dates on the calendar and try to re-rent. If we can re-rent, then we can refund the amount recuperated, but we cannot issue a full refund unless we can re-rent from an early departure or cancellation.
Thanks so much- we are looking forward to welcoming you!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Walking Distance to Downtown and Stadium
Came for a football game, would stay here again. It was nice to not have to worry about driving on gameday. It is about a 25 minute walk to the stadium but worth it to avoid gameday traffic. The unit was nice and as pictured.

Quiet and comfortable
Location was great for our needs and the home was very serene and well equipped with all the kitchen essentials. I had a couple of concerns which were addressed very quickly and satisfactory. Definitely a place I would love to stay again.
