Other Details to Note

Property is located in Gainesville, Florida’s Pleasant Street Historic District Neighborhood; which is the city’s oldest, most intact, comprehensive neighborhood. Settled at the same time as the City, it is nearly 150 years old, and contains an important element of Gainesville’s urban and cultural history. The Pleasant Street Historic District is significant as the first residential neighborhood in Gainesville, Florida; founded immediately after the Civil War. The district contains a large number of late nineteenth and early twentieth century residential structures typical of a modest sized southern community. Vernacular structures predominate, but the district also contains a number of buildings that reflect the revival and romantic styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Pleasant Street Historic District is a National Register of Historic Places.

Bruce and Kameko’s home is so cozy and beautiful! I hosted my daughter‘s 16th birthday sleepover there and all of the teenagers loved it! As my daughter described it— it’s like a TikTok influencers dream lol.

Always a pleasure. This was what I think might have been our 4th time staying at the Cozy Cottage and it's a great experience every time. Clean, comfortable, pet friendly and walkable to UF's campus (if necessary). Hosts are easily reachable and always communicative and everything always goes smoothly. Will continue to book here when it's available.

We stayed at the Cozy Bunglaow with our two poodles who absolutely loved the backyard. The home has great ammenities if you are traveling with your fur babies. The kitchen an dgrill served our purpose for coking dinner one night an dthe coffee station was wonderful :-). Overall we were very comfortable with the layout, rooms, bathroom, back yard, it made for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. We look forward to another stay.

This is hands down the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. So happy. We have a small dog and the place was well-suited for that. Plus the property was just beautifully appointed. If I ever visit Gainesville, this will be my first choice. No question about it. The hosts are super responsive and helpful. They definitely raised the bar.

Vehicle recommended for the most efficient and fastest commute around the area but definitely bike-able or rent a scooter and there’s even public transportation right nearby.
