It was difficult to get the directions for entering the property within the proscribed timeline. Got it just the day before. Parking was easy. However, mornings were noisy, in part because of the maintenance work going on. Appliances were a little dated and no instructions included but did work. Overall, pretty much what would be expected for the price.

UF Graduation stay

This is a great location for getting to graduation venues on campus. Good bed and a quiet location at night. Dead bolt key was a little tricky to turn & door a little sticky. Once we realized that, we came and went with ease. Host was very responsive to questions. Would stay here again.

I gave a 2 star because the location to the Shands Hospital (had some testing) is great! Unfortunately the condo is old and musty smelling (we checkedout a full day early, the mustiness began to burn our eyes). There is a water leak at the bedroom door that leaves the carpet soaked all the time. The toilet is loose and shakes, needs repair. The microwave over the stove dose not work, but the one on the counter does. The furniture in the living room is too large for the space (there is barely 10 inches to move around the large coffee table)and it is about 30 years old. The bath towels are thin and old, no hypoallergenic pillows covers on the old brown flat pillows. Had to clean the kcup coffee maker (it had not been cleaned from the prior guests). Also noticed the shelf on the freezer door was dirty. There were two plates, three bowls and 24 coffee cups for dishware. The glassware is basically non existent. There were so many details that had been overlooked in a vacation property that I cannot recommend this place.

The property was clean and in the perfect location for our event, but it was 3of us. The sofas are not sleeper, also there was an air mattress, but no bed linen. The property is conducive to only 1or possibly 2 people because the only bath is in the bedroom, but overall description adequate and host communication was great.

Nice apartment

Communication with owner was clear and check in was easy. Inside the apartment was really nice and the furniture was cozy. Everything was very clean and smelled fresh. Also the refreshments of choice included my favorite brand of water so that was a nice bonus.
