Sketchy neighborhood and 3 padlocks to prove it

This place is potentially dangerous. I would not stay here. I is nothing like what is represented and I do not believe the ratings that it has gotten. Could not suggest more strongly do not stay here.

No communication …No WATER

I have never had poorer communication with a host. I tried numerous times to communicate via message and all messages were undeliverable. Left numerous voicemails with no response. I even contacted Vrbo directly, and they tried numerous times to reach the host to no avail . Messages seem to be auto generated. The pictures of the property are very misleading. Yes apartment was clean, yet we had no running water our second night there. No ability to shower, brush teeth use the kitchen or even use the bathroom. I tried numerous times to contact host and they finally responded with. “We are looking into this with our team.” I asked the surrounding units to make sure that it wasn’t in the whole building problem, and they assured me that they had running water. I understand that things happen, but I reached out to the host asking for a refund for the one night due to the circumstances I have received no response ! I was traveling with two handicap adults, and this made our stay very uncomfortable we had to leave early in the morning because it was not safe or sanitary to stay there. We use these accommodations frequently as a family, I am aware that things go wrong, and properties have difficulties. But the lack of communication response from this host and the lack of VRBO‘s ability to step in and help was horrid. I NEVER leave bad reviews , but I wanted to save someone else from this .

Great Spot and Place

The property was clean, filled stocked in the kitchen and had the comforts of house while traveling. Nice setup for the soccer tournament weekend while in Gainesville.

Older, but quant and great location

We liked being able to walk to the college bars and restaurants, but it was about a mile that was not an issue for us. Cutting through campus made it go quick and fun to see all of the tailgaters.
