Great place.

Check in was super easy, the whole place clean, host was very responsive, and it was very convenient to the UF campus.

This is how every VRBO rental should be!

What a great place to stay in an absolutely beautiful neighborhood! I just needed a place to sleep and got so much more, from all the laundry and bathroom supplies, a full spice rack and even some basic food stocked in the kitchen I have never stayed in a rental with so much accommodation! Mark was always available to answer my questions and was a great host. Needless to say bet I rent from him again!

Good property, great owner

Good overall, a little on the highside especially with extra/add on costs. Also, says can accomodate 4 but 2 is a tight squeeze. But Mark is a great host, easy checkin, really friendly, and house was stocked with everything we needed, including coffee, clean towels. A/C nice and cold. I would recommend for sure, but just be aware of all incidentals. Overall good for sure. Thank you Mark.

It’s Fine

The property was pretty much as advertised, except not the cleanest. The gate we had to use to get to our unit’s door was completely broken and very difficult to use whenever we have to enter or leave. We let our host know about it as soon as we arrived but he didn’t acknowledge it. He did reply relatively quickly to questions through messenger feature in Vrbo but did not answer his phone. When we finally got past the gate and into the unit, the check-in was simple with the door code he provided, but there were dishes in the sink already and the unit is pretty dusty above eye-level. Overall we chose this rental for proximity to the stadium and that was great. This was a pretty neutral rental.

Disappointed

We weren’t surprised by the size of the unit, but we were surprised at how run down it was and the lack of cleanliness. There were food crumbs on the futon and living room floor. The exterior doors had large gaps which allowed multiple lizards in while we were there. After the removal of two lizards, my husband stuffed towels under the doors to keep them out. We took pictures of the lizards and cracks in the door. Maybe the owner lives out of state and is not aware of the condition of the unit. The bathroom window needs a curtain. I feel that for the cleaning fee charged, the cleaning staff should wash the towels and sheets to ensure that is being done in between guests. We would have left and went elsewhere but it was graduation weekend and there were no other options available. We really felt taken advantage of by the amount of money we paid for the two night stay. To end on a positive note, the check in/ check out process was seamless and the unit was stocked well with necessities.
