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!

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful little guest house

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.

Great host & perfect location for FSU!

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!

About the host

Hosted by David Zimmer

Host profile image

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.
