We had great stay. The apartment was quiet and comfortable and well appointed. The location is convenient to everything. Margaret was very helpful and accomodating!
This location is very comfortable and clean. This was our second stay at the location. Very private and has everything we needed and more! Will book this property again without hesitation. The host is very nice and pleasant to deal with!
Such a wonderful place to stay for a couple of nights! Very comfortable and well appointed. Close to everything we wanted. Margaret is lovely and a great host. Would definitely stay again when in the area. Thank you again Margaret!
This stay was ideal. Not only was the Corn Hill neighborhood charming and quiet, but the rental was lovely. Immaculate accommodations, top of the line EVERYTHING (from cooking appliances - Vitamix and Cuisinart in the kitchen, to Pantene and fluffy towels in the shower, to a nice antique bedframe, I loved it all. Within walking distance (around 20 minutes) to East Ave where The Neighborhood Of The Arts begins. If you get a chance, check out the home decor and floral shop Arena, and try to book a table at Redd for a phenomenal dinner!
Accurate description of the property. Super quiet with all of the comforts of home. Highly recommend for those parents who are coming for college graduations and will be staying for more than 1 or 2 nights in the area. Thank you!

Thos property was just what I needed in a "get-away close to everything." It is well equipped and very clean.

About the host
Hosted by Margaret Merriman
As a native Rochestarian, and 30 years in this home, I know of many of the local gems and can help you get around Rochester. Whether you're in the pursuit of food, culture or nature walks, I welcome the opportunity to help make your stay satisfying. I can be as visible or invisible as you'd like. I enjoy meeting people of different backgrounds, exchanging stories and ideas. I've traveled to several locations in Europe, New Zealand, Tasmania and Central and South America, along with fairly extensive travel throughout the U.S. My education and training from Syracuse University was Clinical Social Work. My career was with the University of Rochester Medical Center Dept. of Psychiatry. I'm now retired and spending time volunteering and exploring. My life motto is "We all do better when we all do better." This apartment has been filled with Airbnb guests since I opened it in Jan. 2015. I have a 5.0 rating and have a Superhost designation. You can read the reviews at https://airbnb.com/h/yourprivatehome Make your Rochester visit a great one right here!
Why they chose this property
I purchased this property because I love both history and community. This historic neighborhood, unique for the annual 2-day Corn Hill Arts and Music Festival, and the annual Tour of Historic Homes has a dynamic and active association, board of directors and numerous committees of devoted volunteers who keep this neighborhood thriving. Profits from these memorable events fund close to 12 active committees dedicated to the prosperity, safety and community of our residents. This is a neighborhood where opportunities for connections and active involvement abound. Folks from blocks away may meet at a committee meeting or at one of the monthly social activities sponsored by the Social Committee or one of the frequent gatherings hosted by neighbors, and become best friends! Our goal is to renew the spirit of the Victorian Era, when neighbors knew each other and rested in the comfort of knowing there is support and aid during times of need and joy. We see these stories play out time and time again in Corn Hill. Please check out our website at cornhill.org
