*Some kind words from past guests*
"Extremely pleased with our stay here. My daughter was graduating from University of Florida and we were centrally located for all the activities. The place is super comfy with aesthetic touches and attention to detail. We felt right at home. Definitely recommend."
"Perfect ! Wouldn't change a thing. Just as pictured only better. Clean, beautifully decorated, cozy, comfy furniture and bedding, great, well stocked kitchen, will recommend and definitely stay again with Kate. Loved it. Convenient to Shands and University."
"This is my second stay, and it absolutely won’t be the last! I can’t wait until next year‘s tennis tournament to stay at Kate‘s again. The decor is absolutely beautiful. The kitchen has up-to-date appliances. The resident is squeaky, clean and makes you feel completely right at home. This accommodation is centrally located to absolutely any and everything that you would like to do. I’m looking to come back for another stay just because! But surely next year for this tennis tournament! A complete home away from home! Kate is an awesome communicator, and a very gracious and perfect host!"
"We've stayed at Kate's multiple times the past few years and it's like coming home each time:)"

Guest access
The entire home (no shared spaces), two parking spaces and a fenced in backyard
Other things to note
There are two parking spaces for the home right in front as well as open street parking. The home is also PET-FRIENDLY!
My goal is for you to know exactly the home you're booking so it meets and exceeds your expectations so you may have an excellent getaway! As you enter the street you will see some of the initial homes are rentals and not as nicely kept, while the rear/remainder of the street are all family homes. It is a wonderfully centrally located, safe, and quiet neighborhood. Gainesville is an eclectic mixing bowl of renters, students and families alike! I have been happily hosting (now thousands of guests) here for over 8 years and I lived here myself for 4! I am happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hosting you!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay but it could have been better. It was attractive--Host had obviously put time and effort into the decore. It was comfortable, the kicthen was well equiped and the location was great.However, beore booking, I asked if there was a grill. Yes there was, but it didn't work. Fridge had a water and ice dispenser, nice, but "change water filter" light was on. One of the bathrooms had an electric outlet that didn't work. Host did have an electrician out to fix that, but didn't address the other two issues.
