Great location. Close to I75, plenty of shopping, for any needs from food to clothes. Plenty of eating establishments near by. Less than a 10 min drive to Shands. Very close to UF. Had all your basic kitchen needs. Even supplies to make coffee. Only odd thing to me was no wash clothes but we were able to bring our own.Was able to book same day and the complex and VRBO is pet friendly.

Itโs a nice little place to stay the community pool just a little wild in the afternoon with people and kids who live there. The parking was a pain asked host if there would be enough space to park the truck and trailer we had to disconnect the trailer and push it into the space this isnโt how we thought it would be the host said there was plenty of space to park the vehicle didnโt realize it was like a apartment complex. Other then that it would be nice to have towels to take to the pool and maybe a grill on the back patio. The back patio could use a little yard work. But it was a nice little place to stay

Thank you, Kristen, for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. Weโre glad you found the townhouse to be a nice place to stay. Weโre sorry the parking arrangement was more challenging than expected for a truck and trailer; while standard vehicle parking is available, larger vehicles and trailers can require additional planning in a condominium community. We appreciate your suggestions regarding pool towels, a grill, and patio landscaping, and we will keep them in mind as we continue improving the guest experience.
Everything was perfect for our little getaway. Highly recommend.

Glad you enjoyed your stay overall, and weโd love to host you again whenever youโre back in Gainesville!
This was a fine option that was in a good part of town. The beds were comfortable, and communication with the host was good. The place was not very clean when we arrived, and the kitchen was very minimal. There wasn't even a baking sheet or anything to use in the oven or a spatula. The sheets were very, very thin, and the pillows clearly hadn't been changed in some time. The house had a bit of a stale odor and we could also smell prior guests in the bedding. It worked ok for us, because we weren't at the house hardly at all and weren't cooking there, but I would definitely say we were disappointed.

Weโre disappointed by this review, as the reservation was made for 2 guests, yet more people arrived than were booked, and the home was left in poor condition. Cleanliness concerns should be noted upon arrival, not after guests have used the property and left it in a mess. Several of the issues mentioned were not with the home itself, but with items and conditions created during the stay, including damage to the trash area and garbage disposal. Our kitchen is stocked with the amenities listed in the description, and we expect guests to review the listing details and respect house rules before leaving feedback.
Thank you, Heather! ๐ I'm glad you enjoyed the clean and quiet space. We'd love to host you again anytime you're in Gainesville!

I am a little late with my review because of a super busy weekend packing to move but we had an amazing time here. I had a last minute emergency that required my family to stay in Gainesville. We were facing an uncertain Christmas, but thanks to Yenni we had the best Christmas my fiance (or I) have ever had. The location is amazing too, even if you don't have a car, because there's so much shopping in a walkable distance (20 minutes or less). It was spacious, clean and quiet and I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone in need of a stay!
