Golf Outing
This property was very clean. Easy to get to and easy to check in. It was about 10 min from downtown Florance and about 20 min from RTJ The Shoals Golf course.
It has a full kitchen and a breakfast restaurant about 50 yards away that opens at 7 am.

Guest House - Florence, AL
Property is conveniently located close to restaurants stores and a few golf courses (our reason for the visit). Overall had a nice visit; and was very quiet at night. Landlord had some repair work taking place on the guest house fence early on some days, but we are early risers and that did not bother us. For us, there were only a couple minor issues; The living room furniture is patio wicker furniture and not the most comfortable, and the bathroom arrangement is a little awkward with vanity right up against the toilet. Would be better if bathroom vanity was only 2/3 the length.

The host was very quick with responding to our questions. My daughter stayed for 5 weeks during a clinical rotation and house has everything she needed during this time. There was an issue with some spiders and the owner responded within 12 hours of spraying both inside and outside and no other spiders were seen. The area is quiet and safe, convenient to restaurants, shopping and the hospital. Hosts were responsive and quick and even though you are staying next door to them, you will have privacy; my daughter did not see the owners the entire 5 weeks she stayed! Would recommend this property to others!
