2 Br Apartment Vacation Rental In Jacksonville, Florida

Summary:

If you’re looking for a clean, cozy apt in the heart of an up & coming historic district then this is the spot for you! You’ll be steps from restaurants, an amazing coffee shop, & 3 breweries.
Historic Springfield is filled with gorgeous historic homes, lush parks, and new development, but its location is not ideal for travelers seeking a fully developed neighborhood.
Of note, this apt is adjacent to 8th St (a major thoroughfare) so you WILL experience some street noise while staying here!
Also, large vehicles are not recommended for guests at this property. The parking lot is relatively small / crowded and large vehicles parking here make it difficult for other guests to get in and out of the parking lot.

There is nearby street parking available for larger vehicles but it will not be in the gated area.
The Space:

Guests have access to the entire 2 BR / 1 BA apartment featuring hardwood floors in every room except the kitchen and bathroom.
The master bedroom features a queen-sized bed. It also has an average-sized 6 drawer dresser which is great for longer term guests.
Additionally, there is a night stand, a chest of drawers, and a closet.
The 2nd bedroom features a full-sized bed with a memory foam/spring hybrid mattress, two nightstands, a six drawer dresser, and a closet.
The living room includes a wall-mounted Smart TV (with local channels, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu), a desk, and a kitchen table.
The kitchen is stocked with utensils, a microwave, coffee pot, toaster oven, refrigerator/freezer, oven/range, cooking utensils/cutlery and plates.
The bathroom is supplied with towels, and shower items (soap, shampoo, conditioner).
Guest Access:

Guests have the apartment completely to themselves. There is a shared atrium with several other apartments and a shared 1st floor laundry room as well.
The Neighborhood:

Springfield is amazing! It is a diverse, vibrant, up and coming neighborhood located just north of Jacksonville's downtown. You'll initially fall in love with the gorgeous late 19th/early 20th century houses but you'll want to stay for the amazing people. Join a First Friday party, check out the weekly Main Street cruise, downtown's Art Walk, Porchfest if you're in town in the fall, or one of the yearly home tours.
