Ideal Gainesville home, walk to UF
We were in town for a weekend to visit family and attend baseball game. The house is ideally located, and although we didn’t spend much time there, we appreciated the spacious bedrooms, well appointed baths and the privacy the layout afforded us. All 4 of the bedrooms are large and have en-suite access to baths. The decor was fun, and the furniture and beds were comfortable. We loved the cute front porch. We will definitely book again. Patrick was quick to respond, access was easy, and didn’t have a crazy to do list at check out.
