We stayed here while moving our daughter into the University of Florida. The home is very nice and comfortable. The reality matches the pictures. The location to everything we needed to do is great. You will also never rent from a nicer, more responsive host.

We came to town for work and it felt like a vacation! The house was just as described and more. Our host was amazing! Very attentive and easy to communicate with! We have never had a host vacation or work that made us feel more at home! The attention to detail in making us feel welcome was off the charts. A welcome note and chocolates upon arrival and the starter toiletries, chefs kiss! If I could give 20 stars I would! We had a large group and there was plenty of room and everything was stocked to accommodate! There isn’t one thing I can complain about! You won’t be sorry if you book this property! The location is great and the neighborhood is quiet and close to everything! The street is a bit busy at times but the pros faaaar out way this one con! Also a side note…. Harry’s sea food and the original Sonny’s bbq are must during your stay and they are close by. Awesome place to stay! Defiantly recommend and will stay again if we are back in this area! Thank you Narayan and family!!

Great central stay

We had a great overnight stay at this comfy home. The place is EXACTLY as pictured and even better. Very nice and well throughout decorations throughout. They even had a pack and play for my baby which was a great find. The place is quite and central to UF campus. Only thing we noticed was that the main bedroom was warmer in comparison to the rest of the house which we mentioned to the host and he promptly replied that they would look into it. overall 5 stars and would def stay there again!

Gorgeous Property!

Fabulous property on all fronts!!! Clean, beautifully decorated, had everything we could possibly need (including sleep sound machines in each room), comfortable beds (and we are picky!), and a beautiful backyard. Everything was exactly like the photos. We were sad our visit was only one night, and we can't wait to return. My son is going to be a Gator, so we hope to stay at this property many more times. The host and person who cleans the property were so wonderful and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
