The host was responsive, entry went smoothly and the neighborhood felt safe. The air conditioning worked well and the place was comfortable. The quality of the linens and towels was lacking. The squirrels frolicking in the attic perimeter did not affect our sleep.

This house was fine for my group of 4 to visit the University of Rochester during alumni weekend. The price was fair for what we got, and I personally felt fine for the most part, but there were a few things that could have been a better based on what my friends shared throughout the weekend. The friend who slept in the bunk bed room was pretty uncomfortable and said she could mostly just feel the mattress springs and her back was sore. We also each only had one thin pillow. There was a lot of dust under the beds, some spiders & webs in corners, and the bed in our room seemed to be held up by a lot of paint cans which worried us a bit, but I personally slept fine. It might have also been nice to have more (and slightly nicer) towels, but there were just enough for us to each have one. The bedsheets were also kind of rough feeling, but not a huge deal.The location was nice for getting to the university and was mostly quiet. There was sufficiently comfortable furniture in the living room for the time we spent in it.I think if they just maybe hire some more thorough cleaners, get some slightly nicer towels and bedding, and replace the twin mattresses on the bunk bed it would be a lot more comfortable. But overall it worked well enough for our needs and the price was fair.

Perfect for a long weekend retreat!

This older house is comfortable, clean, and spacious for four adults. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and a great location close to everything downtown, a short walk and you are in Highland Park. It was perfect for our visit to the area!

Weekend to visit family

Three generations stayed here while visiting Rochester family. The space was comfortable and convenient. Off street parking available for three cars. Location only blocks away from a nice walking park and also a smoothie place down the street at the corner. Convenient to downtown but quiet and tree lined. Highly recommended.

Very nice

Cute, very clean home in a quiet area. We appreciated that it was dog friendly. Super comfortable bed and little extras in the kitchen such as dish & hand soap, paper towels, even shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. We could also pack light knowing there was a washer and dryer to use. Overall a great place to stay!

Great location!

We went to the PGA Championship and the house was in a great location for the Championship parking as well as close to many restaurants. Plus you can park 2 cars in the driveway as street parking is limited. Allison was responsive right away if we had questions.
