College football, Go Gators!!
We were going to a game and spending three days in Gainesville. This home is conveniently located to everything that you would want to do but yet far enough out that it’s not hard to get in and out of the neighborhood..
The home is clean and has plenty of room to move around. The game room was fun to play in although we didn’t use much in the kitchen we did use the one cup coffee maker, and the microwave and refrigerator. Everything is up-to-date and very modern.
The neighbors were friendly, and it does seem to be in a quiet area.
The host was very friendly, and always responded in a timely manner. We were very happy with them.
We will book this place again when we come back to Gainesville to go to the swamp!! Go Gators!
