My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of space and everything was very clean. What I really enjoyed was the quiet neighborhood. We'd recommend to anyone who plans a trip to the area.

I booked this for my wife and I while our son was at a nearby summer camp. The accommodations were perfect for us. The kitchen was clean and modern and the bathroom was very clean. The bed was comfortable and the apartment was very quiet. We will return to this location and stay with them again in the future as it's only about 1.5 hours from us. Also, it's walking distance to a quaint downtown square where there were a few good restaurants.

Convenient, attractive downtown location for walking. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fantastic. The floodlights were annoying. The rooms were broken up in an awkward manner. The furniture was totally wrong for us seniors: high table and chairs, a sofa that put us so far down that it was nearly impossible to get up. The "smart" television was too tricky to navigate. All we needed were the basic channels.

Apartment is exactly as advertised. It is in a nice neighborhood that is pleasant to walk in and close to "downtown" Ocala. The apartment is not an original part of the house pictured but it does little to detract from the ambiance. Easy check in and and a nice short stay all around
