Last minute trip but what a find!!
Decided to attend a function in Gainesville on Tuesday. Classes started the following Monday so the hotels were charging outrageous rates. Went to VRBO and found this little gem at 80% less than the hotels. It's a little compound with several rentals all under the Depot Village umbrella. We stayed at the Animal House, 3 rooms and a bathroom. No frills but everything we needed and everyone-managment and guests- were as friendly as can be. My only problem is that the fees were more than the rent. That just doesn't seem right to me. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and hope that there is availability our next trip.

The on-site manager was great but It’s a work in progress. No central HVAC, just two small window units with huge gaps to the outside, roaches and the smoke alarm went off for no reason. Minimal dishes, only 1 coffee cup.

Not recommended unless you don’t mind loud, partying college kids on your porch. Could be nicer but wifi went in and out, no dresser or side tables to put your stuff on, only bathroom plug didn’t work and fees were more than half thr night stay.
