Hi! I graduated from UF and am often in and out of town for business trips. This is my first home where I spent most of my time pursuing my dreams. I personally and physically remodeled this home which took me many years to complete.

This condo is steps away from Shands at UF, the VA, Veterinarian School, and UF. The unit is a modern 2 bedroom downstairs condo approximately 900 sq. ft. Bedroom 1 features a queen bed with deep dresser drawers beneath it; this bedroom also has a desk chair and a coffee table that extends to a desk. Bedroom 2 features a Serta double bed with a 50” FireTV, a chair, and dresser.  Both rooms feature sliding doors for more room as well as walk-in closets. In the bathroom the shower has a curved rod which is perfect for extra room; it also has an automatic soap, shampoo, and conditioner dispenser. There is a vanity, a sink, a dehumidifier, a triple hook hanger on the door, and the toilet has a no slam seat. Hand soap and cleaning supplies are also provided. The kitchen has a bar that seats two and a microwave; the bar also has 2 USB charge ports. The refrigerator has filtered water and ice. The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, dishes, silver ware, crockpot, coffee bean grinder, espresso machine, regular coffee maker, keurig coffee maker, ninja blender, and a garbage disposer. The living room has an end table that turns into a large table for 4 (there is also a short oriental table located in bedroom 1 closet). The couch is an L shaped storage Ikea couch that turns into a king size bed. The pull out can also be used as a toddler/kids bed. There is a 55" Fire TV(Netflix, Disney+, HULU, and more), Wifi router, Sony DVD/Video Player, Bahamian conch shells, a book shelf, Himalayan salt lamp, recliner massage chair, and USB charge ports.  In the living room closet there is a queen air mattress and washer, while the dryers is located in bedroom 2. A printer is also located in the unit. Throughout the condo are light dimmers.

Onsite there is a pool and 2 coined laundry rooms.

 I want to share my home with you and hope when you visit you enjoy the comfortable modern home as much as I do.

Shands Hospital Visit
This property fit perfectly with our visit to our granddaughter at Shands Children’s Hospital. It was within a couple of minute drive or even a short walk. The property hosts were awesome with detailed instructions for check in and check out. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We hope it’s available again for our next visit. Thank you, Tevita & Angie

Nice place to be near family in the hospital
We stayed here while a family member was in the hospital across the street for surgery. We stayed two weeks and it was very comfortable and the location is perfect. The owner was quick to respond to concerns we had. We did have small kids and were there two weeks, and they made some typical little kid messes, which we were charged extra for, despite leaving the apartment in great shape otherwise. So be sure that if you come with kids, you keep them on a tight leash. Also, be aware of the mirrored doors in the hall, as they fall off the track easily, and be ready to reset the TV a lot, as it gave a constant error message about not being able to update.

Short stay while at Shands
This apartment was arranged by friends while we were staying at Shands for our daughter. The location is perfect for access to the campus and hospital. The apartment was comfortable and a good place to come back to after sitting in the room for most of the day. The spacious room was plenty for the 2 of us. The amenities were plentiful with a full size fridge, washer/dryer, and other little items around for the forgetful traveler. Two only things that weren’t the best. There is a kid that lives upstairs, part of staying in a complex. Was not a major issue, but noticeable. The second is the tile in the bathroom was a little slick based on its finish. Rating of 4 of 5 with great communication with the owner for extending the reservation quickly for the remaining stay at the hospital. Easy to work with and even encouraged us on check out with good thoughts in our situation.

Simple, Clean and Convenient!
Angel was a clear and effective communicator, which made the process easy! The condo was conveniently located near the campus and had everything we needed for our stay. The condo itself was very clean, but the property/ pool area is a bit rundown and dated. Because we were out and and about each day, this wasn’t an issue for us. We would definitely stay again if visiting the Gainesville area.

Here for the doc.
We stayed here because our son has doctors at Shands, but this apartment would be great for those coming for football, vacation or family. Enough room for a family of four or two couples. This was our second stay- looking forward to booking this one again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Very disappointing. Will not stay here again. The exterior of the building it terrible and so are the garden beds and exterior hallways. Interior is dark grey and dingy and couch is a dingy beige, not white and bright like the picture. There were dirty, greasy baking trays, boiler pan, and cast iron pan in the oven that we had to move to use the oven. You have to roll the washing machine out of the closet and into the center of the kitchen and connect it to the sink to do laundry. And the dryer is in one of bedrooms, you have to sit on the floor to read the settings.

Dissaponting stay
The building was in terrible shape, dirty, unkempt. The room looked as it did in the photos, but I was embarrased to invite my granddaughter over because the outside was so dirty. They tried to give you amenities inside, but I would not recommend it to someone wanting a nice relaxing, luxury spot. Then they charged me $200 for a parking decal. My fault, but definately not worth what I paid for. I would have rather stayed in a hotel.
