Had a great time

While I was nervous at first because of a previous review that I saw after booking, I am pleased to say that there were no problems with my stay. When contacted by Breezy with check in instructions I was informed that the location was newly renovated to include 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, that the parking space has just been upgraded to be able to fit 2 large vehicles, and that if there was not a tenant currently there was always touch ups being done to improve the quality of the stay, I was also informed that there was on call maintenance if there were any problems, thankfully there were no issues to be had. I really liked that I was so close to Ithaca proper, and within minutes of both Cass and Taughannock parks, both had wonderful hiking trails. The review that I had seen seems to have been wildly exaggerated. Not only was there a primo water dispenser but the water out of the sink was perfectly drinkable, there was no sulfur smell at all. The apartment was on the lower level and the entrance was less than 2 parking spaces away from the parking area, with a keyless entry for the door. The coffee station in the spacious and well stocked kitchen and included washer and dryer were greatly appreciated. I will definitely book my next visit with the Specchio House.

Misleading, Worst Smelling Sulfur Water Ever, & Left Early

As the first reviewer of this property, I believe this to be an honest and fair assessment. All correspondence between myself and owner can be proven… I’m not one of those people. When booking the property, the original listing said nothing about this being a split level house with people living above us. I emailed the owner about the misleading listing who agreed, then edited it during our stay. Little too late for us. The water was the worst smelling water I’ve ever experienced and didn’t find out about the sulfur smell until our arrival. While they provided jugs of drinking water, showering was impossible. Well water doesn’t scare us. We have stayed in VRBOs (less than 3 miles away) and camped all over the country, but this is an entirely different level of sulfur. In emailing in the owner, her response was her generosity in providing us with the jugs and stated well water is actually better for us. CmonThe rest of the house was decorated pretty well and the appliances weren’t bad. Bring utensils and other cooking needs (baking sheet, colander, a can opener, garbage bags, napkins) as there were only 2 knives and 6 forks in the place. The “couches” are nothing more than dorm futons and uncomfortable. The back yard is muddy for the dog and access was tricky as it was under construction. No dead bolt on the door even though it was listed.We left half way though our stay & any form of compensation from the owner was dismissed by her. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!
