We decided, rather last minute, to head to Gainesville to attend a Gator game. As expected, finding lodging was a challenge. All hotels were sold out and only a handful of short term rentals were available. I chose this one based solely on the price, as the few others left near campus were outrageously expensive.
The pros:
The location is convenient to many of the attractions that would interest guests. While you are not walking distance to the UF campus (which we knew), it’s a quick drive. As noted in the description online, the townhome is located near an abundance of shopping and dining options and offers quick access to Interstate 75.
The booking and check in process was easy. The instructions were clear. The linens were clean and comfortable. The WiFi worked well. The management company provided sufficient coffee, paper products, soaps, shampoo, etc. to get you through a couple of days which was appreciated.
The cons:
The townhome could really use a refresh and a deep cleaning. With the exception of the bed linens which seemed new, the rest of the place is old, worn and mismatched.
The kitchen was not very well stocked. We didn’t plan to prepare a meal there but if you do, I’d check to make sure you have the tools you need ahead of time.
We enjoyed having a place to all be together, had a good meal close by and had no problem getting to our parking area for the game. Overall, I can say that this is a good option for budget conscious guests.
