Other Details to Note

This home is part of a two-unit townhome and shares a roof with the neighboring unit. Your space is completely private, with its own entrance, front porch, and dedicated driveway for 2–3 cars. The other half of the duplex also operates as an Airbnb. We’re happy to welcome pets—just please register them in advance to avoid extra charges. We kindly ask that they stay off the furniture (beds and seating). For their comfort, we recommend bringing a crate or pet bed. The home is located in the historic Porter’s Community, one of Gainesville’s oldest and most diverse neighborhoods. With its rich cultural history and strong sense of community, it’s an authentic downtown experience. Like many urban areas, it may feel different than a quiet suburban neighborhood. Guests who value being close to downtown, Depot Park, and UF usually love the location. We simply ask that you be respectful of our neighbors, many of whom have lived here for generations.

Neighborhood

This home is on the edge of Porter's Community, an "up & coming," multi-cultural / diverse neighborhood located a block from the newly created Depot Park and centrally between UF campus and downtown Gainesville, just south of the newly developed Innovation District. This house is in a great location for conveniently getting to all major places of interest in Gainesville, including UF campus, Innovation district, downtown, midtown, Gator Football Stadium, Shands, the airport, and more. Porter's has experienced a number of milestones over the past year. It's central location has led it to become one of the most up and coming areas in Gainesville, with community tended gardens, drastically reduced crime rates and a "family-vibe" throughout. Porter's is a safe area, however, as we would in any downtown environment, we advise our guests to remain cautious of your surroundings at night, keep valuables out of sight, and keep the doors/windows locked when away.

Guest access

Guests will have private and complete access to the entire home. Your private space includes: * All three bedrooms * The full bathroom * Living room and dedicated workspace * Fully equipped kitchen * Private front yard and your side of the backyard * Washer and dryer our back for your convenience * Free driveway parking for 2–3 cars The only area that is off-limits is the securely locked cleaners’ closet located in the back. Washer/dryer is available out the back door, around to the other side. We just ask you avoid using it between 11-4p as our cleaner for the unit next door may need it during a turnover.

I'd definitely stay here again! It was a great price, Jeff was super friendly, and the space was exactly as he described it. This is such a cute spot in Gainesville too, with great coffee just a short walk away. I'd definitely want to stay here again for my next visit!

Jeff's location was easy to find and it was a wonderful place to focus on my wedding dress details. It has been very distracting at home and Jeff's place was quiet and private enough to have my dress designer come over and work on the designs and details of my wedding dress, as well as other aspects of my wedding. The entire location was user friendly, from the door to the TV, and ample lighting to take pictures and actually see fabric effects. over all 110/100

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, but it’s probably three minutes from downtown so it’s was a lot for us to do that night. It really enjoyed myself.

Location

2 parking spots out front. Walk to Depot Park and/or downtown. Uber also works well, or walk a few blocks to catch a bus or bike to campus or the trails.
