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.

The house is cute with nice details. The location is very good - near many things including University of Rochester and Strong Memorial Hospital. The kitchen & downstairs bathrooms were clean. The living room had a nice TV and comfortable furniture. However, the house is not being maintained as it should be - on arrival there was a wet washcloth and an obviously dirty, stained towel in the upstairs bathroom. The shower curtain was hanging off the rod because there are not enough hooks to hold it up. The toilet seat was detached. The bathroom doorknob was broken and fell on the floor on the outside - my son was locked in - luckily we were upstairs to put the knob back on, but it fell off several more times. All of the beds, though comfortable, had either sheets that were too small for the bed or were missing or torn. The bed in one room is supported on paint cans. There had just been several inches of snow, but there was no snow shovel anywhere and we had to use a small emergency shovel from the car to clean out the driveway far enough to fit our cars. Although my communication with the host had been good prior to our stay, when I sent her a message about the problems we had encountered, she never responded. We loved the location and the house could be great if maintenance and cleaning were better attended to.

Comfy house in a nice location

This is our second stay and the house was great! There were new towels and we really appreciated the AC. My kid loves the upstairs room and the location across the street from Highland park is great for walks after work and during the day.

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!
