I really enjoyed my week stay. It was really pleasant to have the provided amenities and the host was very thoughtful of leaving snacks and other items like tea, coffee, creamer, extra hygiene products, and more! It was really clean and the bed is wonderful! Definitely recommend it!Thank you Kayla :)

There’s a lot of love that this owner put into this unit. Touches of character all around. Of importance is the attention to every detail. Forgot your umbrella check, a place to work check, forgot toothbrush check, coffee check. And of course the location. Roll out of bed and skip to the Shands Medical Center. Enjoy!
