This is a phenomenal rental - the house was clean, fairly priced, and comfortable, and David went above and beyond to be helpful. Would absolutely stay here again!
This was a great place to stay! We came to town for the weekend to go to the FSU game. This location was convenient to everything! We were 10 minutes from campus and many restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The apartment was clean, quiet and exactly as described. The king size bed was very comfortable and we pulled the couch out to watch tv. This apartment was just perfect for our trip! Would definitely recommend and would stay there again!
Amenities are great-coffee pods for keurig, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower, bed was very comfortable, nice kitchenette area and plenty of dishes. Perfect instructions on how to find it and where to park.
Such a cute, thoughtful place. I traveled with my dogs and having a space where they could stay with me plus a yard they could run in was amazing. The decor inside was beautiful, and they included so many little touches that made it clear that they have tried everything out and are making it as convenient as possible. Everything from a light by the lock keypad so it’s easy to see at night, to little signs about where to find things or what to expect, to lovely snacks and drinks and coffee creamers. Definitely recommend.
The apartment was wonderful, and David was a very considerate host. Even left a bottle of wine for us, which was a nice surprise. The space was very clean, and the bed was plush. Overall, we had a great stay.
Limited use kitchen. Confusing appliances & fan operation. No way to make ice.Great location, very quite. Comfortable bed & linens.

Hi Cheryl. Sorry you had a hard time with the appliances. It seems our ice trays had disappeared during your stay but they’ve been replaced! Appreciate your visit nonetheless!
I had a wonderful stay! The space was spotless, smelled great, and had everything I needed. David was very kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, truly great to work with. There were also snacks and drinks available, which was such a nice touch. I was in town for an awards event at Florida State University with my cousin and her service dog, and we stayed one night. The location was super convenient and close to everything. I would absolutely stay here again!
Great experience! The apartment was clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for the weekend. The location was perfect for our needs, close to downtown and FAMU campus. Overall 10/10.
David was very accommodating. The apt is adorable and the bed is very comfortable. We only gave him one nights notice as we were trying to outrun the ice storm. The dogs loved the yard and it’s only 5 minutes fro midtown.
Description for this property is accurate. Close to downtown and FSU. So much better than local hotels which I feel are not as clean. This house was clean, smelt nice, the property manager was very prompt in response and it even came with little snacks and water. The inside and outside of the property is very well maintained. Will definitely stay here next year for my work meetings.
Had a great 2-night stay during my daughter's FSU orientation days. The location is perfect for anything you may need to do on campus. I had to come back and forth a few times throughout the day and was able to get there and back very easily each time. The host has put a lot of work into making this space it's own. Super cute set-up & decor. Very clean and had everything I needed and then some. This would be a great stay for football weekends! Definitely coming back for one of many trips to Tallahassee over the next 4 years!
Excellent place to stay, we will be back, great location, quiet and great for taking our dog.

About the host
Hosted by David Zimmer
I am native to Tallahassee, FL and fell in love with hosting and creating unique spaces for people! I also am a Systems Administrator during the day, and a semi-professional singer-songwriter at night. You can find me in the jiu jitsu gym where I'm a purple belt or playing tennis on the weekends.
Why they chose this property
I love living and owning close to the best areas of Tallahassee. My properties allow easy transport to all areas of town while also having peace and quiet to unwind and relax during the day.
What makes this property unique
It's so important that a rental property is designed for comfort but also for aesthetics. You'll find unique touches - a one of a kind mural, feature walls, fun accents - in every room.
