Perfect home for our stay! Conveniently located near both the Jags stadium and Jacksonville Airport. The place had everything we needed, with easy access and tons of shops and highly-rated restaurants within walking distance. Will definitely choose this spot again next time I'm in town!

So glad this was such a great spot for you! Come back anytime!
From the moment we arrived communication with the owners was excellent, literally because Brian was watering front yard & we had questions on the area. The apartment was perfect for us, it had all the kitchen necessarities & was convenient to everything in the area. Would return
