The Peach House Gainesville

This is the perfect place to stay for 2-4 people when visiting Gainesville. The Peach House is in an older neighborhood, but it’s very clean and modern - and in walking distance to downtown (about a mile). Communication with the host was excellent. We’ll definitely stay here again!
