Daivd, thank you so much for the positive review
You are a fantastic guest , and welcome back anytime
Yes unfortunately, lawn guy had an accident, and was unable to cut the grass in time
The house has been beautifully restored. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and quick to rectify any concerns. Good location to downtown Gainesville. The bedding accommodations were comfortable. The kitchen was gorgeous. It had most of the utensils you could need. We appreciated the nespresso machine and the tea options. We would definitely rent this property again.
I gave property description 5 stars but the home was actually much better than I could tell from the listing. My family of 7 stayed the weekend for a wedding weekend at Baughman and Thomas Center. The home was perfectly located only 3 blocks from Thomas Center (and cheaper than us getting 3 hotel rooms). It has 3 Super comfortable Queen beds and pit group in living room has rollout trundle plus a comfy futon in small office. We could have slept 8 or 9 people. Gorgeous hardwood with floor to ceiling builtin cabinets. Tons of storage, multi USB chargers and tv in each bedroom. Gorgeous artwork decorated each room. Great dual CHA. The backyard is fully privacy fenced with warm lighting and multiple seating/tables, which we enjoyed both day and night. It has 2 covered carport/porticos so we did not get wet when it rained just as we headed to various events. As I am disabled with a powerchair, I was able to leave my chair covered under portico and easily use my cane to enter as front steps are very short. The highlight for me was the beautiful huge master bath circa 1920's with the largest claw foot soaker tub I have ever seen that also has handheld shower plus a separate 6x6 or larger shower that can easily accomodate walker/wheelchair. The vanity of old enamel farmhouse sink was both beautiful and functional. Last but not least, it was stocked with the thickest softest Turkish cotton towels/wash cloths any of my family (and other guests that stopped by) have ever experienced
