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.
