This unit is perfect for a visit to University of Florida-- close enough to be a 5-10 minute drive to campud, but far enough away to be quiet and restful. The unit has everything you could possibly need, is clean and comfortable, and has some very cute accents (the alligator paper towel holder was a favorite with my Gator and her sibling). A few hiccups didn't cause any issues, and the host was easy to reach. Will definitely stay here again when in Gainesville.
