Great stay in Mount Dora! The description was accurate and the place was comfy, cozy and safe. The host was excellent in communication when we had questions. Response time was less than a minute. This is idea for Mount Dora as parking in downtown is limited. Short walk was easily accomplished and allowed to leave our car parked safely on the street across from the unit. We have stayed in the area over many years and this stay was hands down, the easiest and most enjoyable one! I highly recommend to anyone.

Within easy walking distance of shops if you are in good shape. Because of our age we elected to drive, less than 3 minutes from food or shopping. The Host was responsive to our texts and left us water, coffee pods and treats.

Mount Dora gem...perfect for 2

The only problem here is internet is problematic. I had tethering so I was able to connect but for someone who really needs the net and doesn't have a hotspot or tethering capability it could pose a problem. I would check with the owner(who is absolutely lovely, by the way) on the status of the problem with Infinity.
