We visited Gainesville for 5 days and the condo met all our needs. The condo is located in a very quiet neighborhood which we appreciated since we are senior citizens. Check in and Check out were extremely easy. Every possible store you might need is within 15 minutes. The host was very kind and timely. Definitely a redo should we return to Gainesville in the future.

Fairly priced fo r Gainesville especially in light of other going's on at the time. we were in town for a family event. The location is good, close to campus and close to a Publix etc. Quiet condo complex. Appropriately priced for the unit itself and as compared to a hotel stay.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
There are pros and cons here... I'll try to be as fair as possible. PROS: Upkey management was responsive and cooperative and easy to communicate with. The apt hold 4 comfortably. It had shampoo and soap and some other supplies that were greatly appreciated. If you like TVs, they are abundant. There is a pool. It is close to the University and downtown. CONS: The floor needs a really good scrubbing. Even after a second mopping from the cleaning person, our feet still got brown. The welcome mat needs replacing. The back deck is unappealing and the mat there needs replacing too. The grounds are not well kept..there was garbage, cigarette butts, and dog poop along the walk to the pool. The pool deck hadn't been swept..and there was garbage there. There were not enough lounge chairs and the ones there were dingey and old. I also don't like having to sign an extra rental agreement, upload my license, my photo, etc plus put down a security deposit. But that's what happens when you have a rental management company involved. I did get my deposit back in full. We won't be choosing this place again, it's just too overpriced for what you are getting if you include all the VRBO fees. And it's just not a very nice property in general.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and fair review. We truly appreciate your kind words about our communication, the abundant amenities, and the convenient location near the university and downtown. As a small, family-run business, we take great pride in being responsive and helpful to our guests.
However, we are incredibly sorry to hear that the condition of the property and the common areas fell short of your expectations. We want to assure you that we are taking your feedback seriously and are actively working with both our local teams and the community management to address these issues right away:
Deep Cleaning & Mats: We are bringing in a heavy-duty floor scrubber to thoroughly clean the apartment floors beyond a standard mopping. We are also replacing both the welcome mat and the back deck mat immediately.
Community Grounds & Pool: We have reached out to the building's property management regarding the garbage, debris, and pet waste along the walkway and pool deck. We are pushing for a thorough cleanup and requesting that the pool furniture be updated.
Verification Process: We completely understand that the extra rental agreement and ID upload can feel tedious. Because we manage properties on behalf of owners, these steps are required by our insurance to protect both the home and our guests, but we always ensure security deposits are refunded promptly, as yours was.
We hear you loud and clear on the overall value, and we are using your comments to actively improve the property so it truly matches the price point. Thank you again for your honest insights, and we wish you the very best in your future travels.
