This place was ideal for our stay while taking care of our brother at Shands Hospital. It was in close proximity to the hospital, restaurants, grocery shopping and pretty much anything else you'd need. I love older properties as they each have their own unique character. The real wood floors in this place are gorgeous and the memory foam mattress in the master was very comfortable. It had all the comforts of home, easy access and Danny the host was very responsive when we needed him. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

July 4th Week

We stayed in Gainesville during July 4th and needed to book a place that would accommodate not only my husband and me, but also our little pup-pups. As I was also going to UF SHands (just a few minutes away) - it was perfect. It was well appointed and clean. The neighbors were also SO NICE - especially as I had just come out of surgery and part of a tree fell, and they rushed out and took care of it and told me not to do anything! Wonderful southern hospitality. We were very comfortable. Thank you so much, Harvard! God Bless!!!
