We liked the location and the fact that we could walk to restaurants. We were able to have our little dog with us. Would stay again. The property managers were very nice and accommodating.
Perfect spot for an overnight stay. We went to a Gator football game, so this was a good place to get some rest before the next days travel. Host was extremely quick to respond when contacted and was quite pleasant and helpful.

Thanks so much for your kind words! We’re happy to hear the stay worked well for your Gator game weekend. You were a pleasure to host, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Stayed for UF parents weekend. Great little studio and friendly people. Two block walk to downtown which was great during the day. Ubered at night since I was by myself. Will definitely stay again!

An integral part of Gainesville's heritage, Depot Village stands as the second oldest house in the city, with the honor of being surpassed only by the Mathison house, built in 1853.
Constructed from robust hard pine timbers and supported by intricately carved limestone pylons, Depot Village has witnessed a storied past. Once serving as the Gainesville Zen Center and hostel in the mid-20th century, it has hosted thousands of visitors over the years.
