Thank you, Ashley! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our property perfect for your Jacksonville visit. Your kind words about our communication mean a lot. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon!
The property was very clean the host very responsive. Definitely family friendly other than I would be a little hesitant with the stairs would need just a baby gate if he had a little and maybe even pets. Possibility there is one we just didn’t need. It definitely would stay here again. Super cute way too much room just for the two of us, but it was a great deal. Look forward to coming back. The Neighbourhood was good and all the houses were decorated for Christmas so pretty.

Thank you so much for your kind words we’re really glad you enjoyed your stay! It’s great to hear the space, cleanliness, and responsiveness stood out, and we love that you got to experience the neighborhood during the holidays it really is a special time.
We appreciate the note about the stairs as well that’s a great callout, and we’ll look into adding a baby gate option to make the space even more family- and pet-friendly.
We’d absolutely love to host you again next time.
We came to Jax to go wedding dress shopping for my sister and this was the perfect place to stay! It was close to 2 of the bridal salons we had booked. This apartment was extremely clean and in a super quiet area! (Don’t let the surrounding areas deter you from staying in this neighborhood.) The host was fantastic at checking in with us through our stay to make sure we were comfortable and asked if we needed anything! Check in and out was super easy as well! It was decorated so well, and the historic style apartment was just to die for! I would definitely book here again!
Cute apartment, comfortable and nicely decorated and furnished. Looks to be an up and coming neighborhood.
A friend and I traveled here so I could have eye surgery. Here we were only about 15 min to where my doctors office is . Made it a convenient commute. We had a small problem, but Eric took care of everything promptly. Kitchen has just about everything you would need to prepare meals. Oh, also it may be good to know that it is a 2nd story apt. So you do have a flight of stairs to climb.
