Great location
This property is very small but in a great location. Our only issues were that there were only 3 towels in the entire place, no sheets at all for the pull out couch and only a 1/2 roll of toilet paper.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Aug 2024
Hi John, thanks for your feedback. We typically stock extra supplies for guests inside the residence. Bed sheets, linens, etc are found inside the futon storage. We would've been happy to answer these questions or send someone over to help you had you reached out. But, the only message we see from you is when you asked for a late checkout. We will try to do better next time and over communicate so there's no misunderstanding for future guests. Thanks again for your feedback and for staying with us.

What makes this property unique
This 1930s home is one of a kind in Gainesville. You won't find another one like it as it's a protected and preserved historic building in the city. It started off as a car port but was converted to a home in the 80s.
