The condo was exactly as pictured and close to historic B&B and UF areas. The price is good for the area. Parking not a problem. We did not bring our dog, but it would have been a good place for him. Be sure to understand where to park. The kitchen is nicely equipped. Very nice to have coffee and tea available on arrival. For us the living area furniture was not the coziest, but that was not a concern because we hardly spent any time just hanging. There there is too much fun to be had in Gainesville.

Danny is a fantastic host! I had a lot of personal needs as this bnb was my first step in moving permanently to Gainesville. He’s been flexible, responsive and extremely helpful!! The place is beautiful and walking in to that mural after a long day makes it all seem worth it.
