Gainesville gem

This Gainesville property was super convenient to everything! The house served all of our needs with our family for UF graduation. The neighborhood is quiet, yet so close to restaurants and other stores. We will stay again for future visits!

Need to update listing

We were a group of 2 moms and 2 senior girls in high school, staying to tour campus. The listing said 2 BA… that is not correct. There is one full BA and one with just a sink and toilet. So 1 shower for 4 girls. Also, the listing does not mention that this js a duplex. So it was very awkward when we realized someone was living on the other side and we parked in his driveway. The curtains don’t block any of the sun in morning..they are sheer. If you are looking to be close to campus, its a short drive. The place works for a short stay but if I would have known there wasn’t 2 full bathrooms, i would have booked elsewhere.
