About this property

Minutes to all the Adventure! Little Italy 2BR 1st Fl Niagara Wonder"Falls" ❤💦

Our first floor apartment accommodates up to 5 guests. We are a 5 minute drive to Niagara Falls, NY & 5 minute drive to Rainbow Bridge Canada. Enjoy Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds and The Outlets of Niagara Falls, all are 2 miles from our home and we are in the heart of Little Italy! Free parking. There are several casual diners, fast food restaurants and one of the best pizza parlors in NY, LaHacienda!! We have everything you'll need within 2 miles of our home. Minutes to ALL Niagara Falls! Welcome traveling medical personnel! Very close to Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital (3 minutes) and Mount St. Mary's Hospital (11 minutes). We are known for our beautiful hiking parks, museums for adults and children, beach, fishing, Aquarium, Old Fort Niagara, Buffalo Zoo, wineries, breweries, foodies, festivals, Herschel Carousel, chocolate factory, kayaking, jet boats, Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Lockport Locks, and ziplining. Walk over the bridge to get there faster than driving. This is a vacation to be made for everyone! We offer a loyalty program to returning guests.
We are a keyless self-check-in with blazing fast wifi apartment that is super clean with central air and heat to provide ultimate comfort. We sourced midcentury modern furnishings to match the era of our home for a perfect stay. Having lived in Niagara Falls over 3 decades, we'll provide you with insider's tips to make your stay that much more enjoyable!!
Extra sleeping pillows and blankets are provided as well as a rollaway bed (ask for the rollaway or pak n play in advance).
Please use SIDE entrance. Just a quick note before your arrival: Niagara Falls is a beautiful and historic city, but like many older cities, some areas—especially outside the tourist zones—can show signs of economic hardship and may not appear as well-kept.
That said, our home is clean, comfortable, and located in a quiet area with friendly neighbors. It’s a great home base for exploring the Falls and surrounding attractions.
The neighborhood is a typical tourist city and Niagara Falls as a whole, is a very poor city. Neighbors respect one another. Downtown area of Niagara Falls has its issues, but our area is quiet and everyone respects each other's privacy and respects one another. We have owned our home for 40 years and have made many wonderful memories as have our guests. If you are looking for a glamorous place, our home is not for you. Our hardwood floors are old and creak, so we ask that shoes not be worn inside to help reduce noise. We have purposely decorated using midcentury modern furniture to match the era of our home. Our place is clean and quiet. We have new appliances, mattresses, carpet, and use very nice linens. We want you to feel comfortable in our home and make wonderful memories. Please be our guest!
Free alternate street parking. Once booked, we provide instructions on parking. Also, please read our reviews. We hope you decide to stay!
Please let us know if you need a pak & play, high chair, or rollaway bed prior to your arrival. Need baby gear during your stay? Rent cribs, car seats, strollers, toys and more from BabyQuip! As seen on Shark Tank, BabyQuip offers clean, sanitized, and safe baby gear in over 500 cities! Visit https://www.babyquip.com/a/ci8m2l to make a reservation.

This place is so cute, and ABSOLUTELY sparkling clean! The back yard was great for hanging out in the evening, well lit and quiet. Lori gives all sorts of ideas to do on your trip. Communication was so fast. Neighbors were nice. We ate at an Italian restaurant in the casino, and Longhorn Steakhouse. Both were fantastic. I love to thrift shop and there is a Goodwill nearby with quite a good selection. Of course the Falls were fantastic! Great stay and wonderful hosts

The beds was awful and painful to try to sleep on. The couch was broken on the right side. The cabinets and drawers are hard to open. The house smelled like mold!

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug 2026
I’m sorry you were unhappy with your decision to cancel. However, it is important to clarify that you NEVER stayed at the property, so you could not have personally experienced sleeping on the beds, using the couch, or noticing a mold smell during a stay. Your reservation was canceled the day before arrival during our peak season, and our cancellation policy was clearly provided at the time of booking. Because of the extremely short notice, we were unable to rebook those dates and therefore could not issue a refund. We take guest feedback seriously and work hard to maintain a clean, comfortable home for every guest who actually stays with us. It is unfortunate that, after not staying at the property and not receiving the refund you wanted, you chose to make claims about conditions you did not personally experience.

A Perfect Stay near Niagara Falls

This is a perfect two bedroom home within 10 minutes of Niagara Falls. It was very spacious and well-maintained. Like most of the town, it is on the older side but that just added to the charm. You could tell it has been well-maintained. If you are in the area and need two bedrooms this place will do perfectly!

Host profile image

I'm married with 3 grown daughters. I am an Employee Benefits Broker and my husband is semi-retired. We like to spend our free time with our kids/pets, and enjoy traveling as guests to various attractions, cities and communities, just like you! We are also self-proclaimed foodies and enjoy meeting new people, doing new things and all and all, have a love for life. If you need any recommendations, I'm eager to help, but will also respect your privacy. We are here to go above and beyond to ensure all our guests enjoy their stay and to provide the best quality customer service and experience possible.

Why they chose this property

Whether you’re on holiday or on a business trip, choosing where you’re going to stay is one of the most important aspects of your visit. In recent years, there has been a shift in people’s preferences that tend to choose guest houses over hotels, in search of a more comfortable and homey atmosphere.

Let’s face it; hotels might try to convince clients that the services and facilities they offer will make their experience unique, but the truth is that most hotels feel exactly the same and offer more or less the same experience. Tourists and businessmen alike are looking for an alternative. They are looking to feel at home but away from home and experience all that the area offers and to feel like part of the community. Our property gives you a flavor of city living in Niagara Falls offering privacy, clean, and a well managed home. Our home has a comfortable feel because we know what we like when we travel. Our centrally located home has amenities such as central air conditioning for ultimate comfort, spa-like towels/sheets, clean rooms, and just a phone call or text away from needing our services. That is where we excel! Check out our reviews! We want your stay to meet and exceed your expectations! Let us know why you are coming to Niagara Falls and we will make it extra special!
