10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here while bringing our family to Gainesville for a Gator game and had a great experience. The location was excellent and very convenient for everything we wanted to do. The host was extremely accommodating, responsive, and made our stay very easy.The home is definitely one of those places where you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover—the exterior may not make the best first impression, but the inside is very nice, comfortable, clean, and well maintained. We had plenty of room for our family and really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again for another Gator weekend!"

3 min walk to UF stadium, Tailgate, 10 guests

10/10 Excellent

"This house was great for large groups! You simply can't beat the location - a quick walk to the stadium and midtown. Our host was super accommodating and even was able to help us score some extra tickets to the football game! The only thing I would note is you do have to move your cars by Saturday morning if you're in town for a gameday, as the host sells parking in the backyard of the house. It wasn't really disruptive to us at all though! "
