The L's Luxury 1- Newly renovated Downstairs Apartment

Elmwood Village home

10/10 Excellent

"Our family was very pleased with the accommodations. The apartment is well maintained and cleaned. It was pleasant change form generic hotel rooms. Neighborhood is very nice"

Spacious Historical Home by Parks, Shops, 4bd 2ba Save Weekly & monthly.

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay during our trip to Buffalo. House was clean and comfortable. Area was walkable to many of our activities."

Entire apt near Olmstead Delaware park, North Buffalo, Zoo, UB & 2 Hosp.

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great apartment! Loved the location as it is close to my sister and the attention to detail in the unit is top tier. The hefty deposit makes sense once you see how nice the apartment is (although it is still painful!). The host was immediately responsive when I had a little trouble finding the entrance at check in. He stayed on the phone with me until I entered the apartment and had the access/lock codes figured out. I appreciated that! The kitchen is top notch, there is plenty of room to spread out in with a lovely dining room and living room. The master bedroom is crazily big. There are great closets and plenty of storage space. My only notes are that the bathroom is dark with a tiny sink, which is difficult to wash your face without splashing on the floor. The black shower curtain made the shower a little scary for me as I couldn’t see out and the bathroom was dark in general, even with the mirror light on. There aren’t any bedside lights in the master bedroom but that is truly the worst thing I can say. I loved this place and hope to return!"

Delightful dwelling

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very clean, functional and provided everything we needed. The location was good - short drives to most attractions. We would stay again."

Cozy Upper 3 bed 2 full bath + loft + balcony

10/10 Excellent

"Sean’s property at North Buffalo offered a great home base for us to move our daughter to University at Buffalo. It was a convenient 10 minutes away from campus. We were able to bring our dog and her grandparents to help her transition to her new home. We each had our own room and a place for family dinner. Much more comfortable than if we had to stay at a hotel. We didn’t have to leave our dog home since the property is dog friendly. My daughter was able to spend couple of extra days with her furry sibling. The home was located half a block from a street with coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. Very convenient to go and grab some food. Popular big box stores such as Walmart and Target were also very close so it was easy to run and pick up last minutes items for her dorm room. Every facet of the home satisfied our needs for our stay at Buffalo."

Vaulted Loft in Historic Bank on Hertel King Bed + walk to shops

8/10 Good

"Love how walkable the street is great location. If you have a hard time with stairs, this apartment has original stair to the age of building they are steeper then modern staircase. With the buildings age and being on the top floor it is warm. They offer fans and a small A/C to help."
