Michele. Thank you so much. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We didn't even feel like we had guests; we never heard you, saw you, and you left the place spotless. Would love to host you again!!!

Ideal Location for RIT

I stayed a week at this property and the location was perfect for visiting my son at RIT. Jay was very thoughtful by stocking snacks for me (he took requests!) to enjoy during the week. Comfy setup.

Okay

Overall this was an okay place to stay but there is room for improvement. Extremely convenient location and quiet. Enjoyed having my own entrance and parking. Be aware the apartment is only accessible by an outdoor wooden stairway. The place is pretty spacious except for the bathroom. I appreciated having space heaters and a fan available. Jay kindly took a request for breakfast items prior, and there were coffee and snacks on hand. Check in and check out was all done by text and I never saw Jay. They have a binder with house rules and detailed info though the check out time was not mentioned there. Shortly after I checked in, they texted to say that the cable and internet was out and the provider was working on a fix. The outage wasn't Jay's fault, but wifi still didn't work the next morning. After I texted for an update, Jay reset the router, which fixed it. Despite the thoughtful touches, other things took away from the experience: -The unit is described as new but it felt dated especially the kitchen -Lock on the unit entrance was visibly damaged and difficult to use -Bedroom door doesn't close all the way -Cobwebs visible on the lights over the breakfast bar and under the bedroom TV -Stains on the ceiling over the bed -lights under the bed are a nice touch but too bright for sleeping. Wish there was an on/off switch instead of reaching under the bed to unplug These are all pretty small issues that could be easily addressed for a better quality experience.

While I appreciate this review and any opportunity to improve, this guest had ample opportunity to point anything out while they were there. She messaged me at 0730 am on day #2 to tell me the Internet was still out after I had already told her the night before they were working on it and I would keep her posted with updates. This entire apartment was updated 4 years ago to the best we could do while being aware of budget conscientiousness. We are always working to improve our rental and we take pride in our guests experience. (Added a bathroom backsplash and electric fireplace in living room in past month). We are constantly looking at how to improve the apartment and put money back into it as often as possible. The lights under the bed have a timer and automatically shut off after 2 minutes. The bedroom door not closing had never been an issue before- If these were an issue, again this should have been communicated. The first text I send guests is asking them to communicate real time if any issues/concerns arise allowing us an opportunity to remedy issues real time. We will continue to do our best realizing there are some people who just can't be pleased!

The owners were so nice to let us extend our stay and checked on us from time to time. The bed is an adjustable bed and was very comfortable. The little kitchen was a plus, not having to worry about dinner, just stock the fridge and make dinner. Despite the airport being down the street didn't hear a thing and slept like a baby. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The owners were very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. Even tho there was an airport and rail road near by we hardly ever heard anything and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. There was shopping nearby and a lot of fun things to do around the area. We enjoyed our stay so much we extended our trip.
