Neighborhood

Duckpond is one of Gainesville’s oldest neighborhoods. Located northeast of downtown, it was developed principally in the late 1800s through the first few decades of the 1900s. Duckpond’s quiet, narrow streets take you back a century. Here, moss-draped oaks, vibrant gardens and splendid traditional architecture conjure an early 1900s version of Gainesville.

Gerald appreciates the beauty of an old home and it shows. This is a very pleasant and welcoming apartment. The beds are very comfortable, there are amenities like coffee and if you need anything the host is just a message away. The downstairs neighbors were super quiet too, and we loved the dog friendly fenced in yard as well.

Gerald’s AirBnB is a gem indeed. It’s in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood within minutes of UF Gainesville (Go Gators) and downtown. For a 90 plus year old it sure is in great shape. If you have dogs, book this place bc the yard is big enough to keep them busy. I recommend it.

Very comfortable and clean. Location is super for accessing UF campus just a short drive away . Big open kitchen. Gerald was on top of his game… proactive and with prompt follow through… we will be back again
