Very nice stay!

This was a perfect place for us to stay and visit family in the area. The home was clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. We did not experience any noise on the corner as previously mentioned. Would definitely stay here again!

Property is located in a bad part of town. The house itself is beautiful but the description of the neighborhood is inaccurate. We saw an arrest and a drug deal within two blocks of house. Did not feel safe at night.

Review

The house is adorable and its location was perfect for going to the Jaguars stadium. Our only complaint was that It was not cleaned well before we arrived, The refrigerator was disgusting and there were dirty socks left in the closet of bedroom. The bed in bedroom 1 was held up by 4x4 blocks with no support in the middle. You have to park on the street and there is only one door to access the house and the windows are painted shut. I think thats a fire hazard.

Poorly equipped, Sleeps 6…ish, inoperable windows

This rental is well maintained and nicely decorated. They have some antiques that are very nice, including an old tv, i mean old. It’s a work of art in its nicely finished cabinet. However, It is poorly equipped. Owners are not responsive, they are abrupt, and rude. We had to ask for more bath towels (there was only four, we are a party of six). They insisted via text that we hadn’t checked sufficiently. When we replied that the property had only 4, they reluctantly brought two more. After we checked out, they were asking why there was not 8 towels. Rather than acknowledge that they had not sufficiently stocked their property, they had the gall to inform us that their cleaner reported that they were 2 short. We also needed them to bring bedding for the double bed/couch in the living room. Same response, “look again, check the closets”. Again, reluctantly brought when we insisted that there was none. We also had to ask for more dinner plates, only 5, along with some pieces of silverware as there was not enough knives and spoons for us all. Thankfully they did have 6forks. No plates or silverware was brought. There were also only two water classes, four “rocks” glasses, and five coffee cups. No wine glasses, but they did have a wine opener! There was no dishwasher, which was fine, but also no towel to dry dishes that were washed. They did have a towel dropped off when we requested it. No broom or vacuum. After some chips fell on the rug we took it outside to shake it out. Thankfully my college aged boys were with us as it was heavy. The only other option would have been to pick up each spilled bit, but by bit. If you are planning to sleep only, then this is the place for you. The mattresses are great (Tempur-Pedic). If you are planning on making any food, go somewhere else. You will smell whatever you cook for the rest of your stay. Why? There is no vent for the stove, and all the windows in the house, every one of them, is painted shut. The location is eclectic. It’s in downtown Jacksonville. This unit is nicely taken care of (except for the windows being stuck). Homes nearby are currently being renovated (March, 2023). The neighborhood has some rougher areas, but we always felt safe. There are some beautiful older historic homes only a few streets away.

Nice property

Home was nice and clean. House sits on a corner lot so you will hear loud music occasionally. Nice park across the street for families with young children. Location is near everything especially downtown. House is within walking distance to a lot of restaurants. You have to try uptown kitchen. Great Gouda grits!!
