Nice place to stay. The living room could have better seating. Also should specify that there is no central air conditioning.

Buffalo Family house

This house has four roomy bedrooms and plenty of living space. It was perfect for our family visiting Buffalo together. We were close to where we wanted to be and it was very easy to get to the Falls and museums and just a couple blocks from Delaware Park. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were very nice. A great place to stay if you are planning to hang out in Buffalo.

Pros- clean, pots and pans are stainless steel pans, frenchpress coffee pot bring ground coffee and scale if you use that. Loved having ac unit in each room so each person could have temp they desire.Cons- to me the beds were rocks. Would have appriciated softer beds, squeeky floors expected in old house, all the bedrooms upstairs, waist ofspace down stairs seems they could have a bedroom downstairs. And move the dining room table space to the kitchen area.

The property was very nice. There’s a very nice backyard but not really set up to sit out and enjoy the nice weather. The front door is very tricky with the keypad. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend it !!

Fabulous stay in a beautiful home!

We were four friends who were coming to Buffalo to spend four days together, and we couldn’t have picked a better place for a girls' weekend! As soon as we walked into the place, it felt like home. The entire house was very clean and well kept, and the location was perfect for getting around the city. Everywhere we wanted to go was just a short driving distance away. We each had our own bedroom with very comfortable beds and lots of pillows, there was plenty of living space and a well stocked kitchen, and there were two full bathrooms with nice, plush towels. Ayat was an absolute pleasure to deal with and was always extremely quick to respond to our inquiries. We all loved our stay and would highly recommend Harvard Haven for a great getaway! Thanks again, Ayat, for a wonderful stay!

Easter Weekend in the 716

The house was well suited for our stay, 6 adults. The kitchen was great - organized, clean and well stocked. Only two disappointments, that didn't alter our rating, just are suggestions for improvement. The living room does not have enough seating and the sofas are very old. The main TV in the living room is not a smart TV, we could not get live TV at all (it is March Madness), only Netflix type entertainment. An upgrade to the TV would be great! Thanks for the hospitality!

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr 2024

Thank you , I’ll install a smart tv in the living room. Those couches are 3 years old, we bought them to fit an older time period. I’ll check them out next time we’re there. I’m unsure we can get additional seating due to space restrictions. I will look into this as we plan to make spring upgrades. Thank you for the feedback.

We had a very good stay

Overall the property was clean and nicely appointed. The only issue was a few black ants in the downstairs bathroom and kitchen. Not a big deal. We appreciated the shower body wash conditioner and shampoo in both bathroom. We did have to got out and buy toilet paper. There was no local tv only Netflix and Prime. The deal breaker as to why we would not stay there again-The front steps are a major safety concern. The porch slopes terribly and the outdoor carpeting on the stairs is a tripping hazard. Honestly, I don't know how this front entry passed inspection. We visit Buffalo often and would love to stay again if the

Thank you for the review and information. We pass annual City inspections for this unit and will look into the stairs. I will add this to my Spring list. We keep tp under the sink and downstairs closet, and have supplies ready in the locked supply closets. In the future please contact me or other hosts for any issues.
