This is a one-bedroom apartment beneath the host's home. The apartment was sparkling, and the host had thoughtfully provided pretty much everything one might need in this kind of rental. Towels are really nice and soft (my thing!) The one thing the descriptions don't mention is that this time of year, the fields behind the house are FULL OF FIREFLIES and the entire field absolutely glitters after dark. It was nice to come "home" to! ##### Claudia R.

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? ##### Diane A. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Dana P. 18 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### 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. ##### Dana P.
