My daughter was graduating from University of Florida and we were centrally located for all the activities. The place is super comfy with aesthetic touches and attention to detail. We felt right at home. Definitely recommend." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Perfect ! Wouldn't change a thing. Just as pictured only better. Clean, beautifully decorated, cozy, comfy furniture and bedding, great, well stocked kitchen, will recommend and definitely stay again with Kate. Loved it. Convenient to Shands and University." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is my second stay, and it absolutely won’t be the last! I can’t wait until next year‘s tennis tournament to stay at Kate‘s again. The decor is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen has up-to-date appliances. The resident is squeaky, clean and makes you feel completely right at home. This accommodation is centrally located to absolutely any and everything that you would like to do. I’m looking to come back for another stay just because!

Other Details to Note

There are two parking spaces for the home right in front as well as open street parking. The home is also PET-FRIENDLY! My goal is for you to know exactly the home you're booking so it meets and exceeds your expectations so you may have an excellent getaway! As you enter the street you will see some of the initial homes are rentals and not as nicely kept, while the rear/remainder of the street are all family homes. It is a wonderfully centrally located, safe, and quiet neighborhood. Gainesville is an eclectic mixing bowl of renters, students and families alike! I have been happily hosting (now thousands of guests) here for over 8 years and I lived here myself for 4! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hosting you!

Kate was a fantastic host and made our stay incredibly easy and comfortable. The Airbnb was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. Communication was quick and friendly, and Kate went out of her way to make sure we had a smooth check-in and felt at home throughout our stay. The space itself was cozy and inviting, and you can tell she really cares about the experience of her guests. Overall, it was a great stay, and I’d definitely recommend Kate’s place to anyone looking for a reliable and welcoming Airbnb. I would happily stay here again!

Kate is responsive, informative and friendly. Her home is very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated with thoughtful and welcoming touches throughout. For me, the extra charging plugs for electronics was a huge plus and much appreciated! It is close to Shands hospital but nestled away from the stress. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt safe on my own. After hectic days at the hospital, it was nice to come “home” to a peaceful haven. I will definitely be back!
