Charmingly historic

A charming historic place perfectly located in the heart of Buffalo. The place is historic, so you can expect historic imperfections, but it only adds to the charm along with the tasteful adornments. The 3 apartments together perfectly accommodated my family of 8 along with my parents. Cynthia is a kind and thoughtful hostess.

This Vrbo was simply amazing from the minute we arrived until the minute we left. The host, Cindy was so sweet and helpful answering all of our questions. The suites are all beautifully decorated, with hand chosen pieces that enhance the rooms. Everything was very clean and well stocked. I love how all of the spaces have been upgraded and decorated leaving the integrity of the historical hotel. We all felt very safe and loved being in the center of the darling town of Buffalo. We can't wait to visit and stay here again. I can't say enough about how much all 5 of us adults loved our stay. I highly recommend!

Unique property

We know it's an old building but it took a few minutes to adjust to the musty smell of the building. We rented all three apartments for our family and they were all unique. If you like historic buildings and decor, you will love this place. We only had one night here and it served our purpose. The only negative comment I have is that the pictures of the property show a pool which makes it look like it's right outside but it is a block away (free to the public).

AMAZING

This was the perfect place for our family. We had 3 family’s staying, our parents which stayed in the first apartment room, my SIL with 5 boys in the second apartment room and my husband and the 2 girls in the third apartment room. Each apartment had a bathroom and small kitchen!!!! The owner even left Rhubarb bread for us!! They were amazing! I don’t know if you had little ones, it’s an amazing antique old fashion building!!!

Great location!

Loved the historic feel of the property and can’t beat the location! We enjoyed walking the Main Street to shop, dine, and listen to live music at the Occidental. The town is very walkable; we even walked to the grocery store, coffee shop, etc. Only feedback is that one of the units felt very dim, and we noticed that several light bulbs needed to be replaced.
