Visit to Grandson and his family
Location was perfect for us. We were only about a mile from our grandson. The place was great for the two of us; had everything we needed. The host was very nice and did me a great favor. My only complaint would be the slight musty smell in the lower level unit. Would stay here again.

Outstanding apartment
The apartment was beautiful. very clean and neat. There is only one item I would like to bring attention to the owner. We have no experience with septic systems. Every time the toilet flushed there was a strong odor of sewer fumes in the hallway. We dont know if this was normal?

Fine for our purposes
The unit is the lower section of a house. That surprised us, but it was fine. The space was clean and close enough to Ithaca campus. However, the A/C unit in the master bedroom was VERY loud and the space required a dehumidifier which was also running and blowing hot air so the room really never retained a good temperature. Since the unit is on sewer and septic be advised that when the shower is running an odor comes into the bedroom. Again not bad and with the hosts accessibility and communication the space was adequate for our purposes of moving our child to school.

Basement Apt
Basement apartment needing dehumidifier running all the time made it a little musty and noisy in a severe heat wave. Other than that it was comfortable, attractive and well located for us.
