About the host
Hosted by John Goodnight
John and Meredith are the owners and property managers. This was our first house after graduating from UF and where we started growing our family. We have been in Gainesville many years, so we know a lot about the highlights of this area. We are excited to share this special property with our guests. We lived in this house for over 15 years. John works at the VA as a social worker with homeless veterans and Meredith is an elementary school teacher. We will do our best to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Why they chose this property
The Oak View neighborhood is close to downtown, Midtown and UF. It is a quiet neighborhood surrounded by lots of old Oak Trees. You will love the location and the deck out back.
What makes this property unique
This is a beautiful house with a lot of character. You will enjoy the relaxing vibe while home, but It's close to all the action at UF, downtown, and Midtown. The appliances and HVAC system are all updated. There are hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. The spacious deck out back is perfect for relaxing or having fun with friends and family. There is a park about a block away. Cypress and Grove Brewery and Afternoon Restaurant are just down the street.
