This property was such great choice! Perfect space for 2 people. Had all the amenities of home including Netflix, which made it way better than a hotel. So clean, so comfy and beautifully decorated! Highly recommend this rental!
Accurate description of the property. Super quiet with all of the comforts of home. Highly recommend for those parents who are coming for college graduations and will be staying for more than 1 or 2 nights in the area. Thank you!
The lodging was beautiful-- clean, comfortable and nice furniture, stocked kitchen, comfortable bed!
We enjoyed our stay as we were visiting our daughter for parents at the University. Great location, safe. I highly recommend for ease of location and just perfect place.hist was so caring and helpful. Five stars.
The host was superb! She lives on the property, but you would never know. She was super informative yet not intrusive. The apartment is a 5 star in every conceivable sense (location, amenities). This property is highly recommended!
I came to town for two nights to visit my son at college. This was the perfect place to stay, I even was able to make dinner for my son and his friends. Comfortable and spacious. I’d 100% stay there again.
If you are visiting Rochester, you HAVE to stay in this apartment!! The apartment is located in a lovely, picturesque area. It is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. It is central to downtown Rochester and the host, Margaret, was a pleasure to interact with. We will be staying here whenever we visit Rochester!
Everything is as advertised. We liked the location and the amenities. We had stayed here before so knew what to expect, and did not have to worry if the apartment would meet our needs. It did!
A beautiful home with great pieces of furniture. It has everything you needed provided by the host. Communication with the host is great. Always responds promptly. Very accommodating. Thank you for your hospitality and stay.
Margaret was a phenomenal host. She directed us to a number of fun Corn Hill activities and met all of our needs. Very attentive and communicative. This VRBO is stocked with everything you'll need for a long-term stay. The surrounding area is beautiful during the summer! Many coffeeshops and a public library nearby. Highly rated VRBO for a reason.
The property looked just like the pictures. Everything worked and was in very good condition. We liked the off-street parking so we didn't have to move our vehicle every day. We slept well. It was below freezing outside, but the floor was warm. Hope we can stay again next time we are in town.
We were in Rochester for three nights and opted for this apartment for its central location and historic neighborhood. So glad that we did. The apartment was perfect in every way. Tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture, very comfortable bed, and absolutely everything one might need in a kitchen. There were little touches that made us feel welcome, such a cozy bathrobes and fresh flowers. Communications with the owner was easy. I highly recommend this apartment!
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The neighborhood was lovely and close to everything. The apartment was very sweet, clean, decorated nicely and well appointed. Our biggest complaint was the bed - it was hard and uncomfortable, nothing a topper couldn’t resolve. I really appreciated the approach of the host - there if we needed her, but gave us our space and didn’t overwhelm us with information, rules, check-in and -out instructions.
I was in town for a bit more than 2 weeks for a fellowship at the Strong Museum of Play. I needed a place within walking distance and with a good kitchen (instead of having to go out to eat all the time). This place fit my needs to the letter. I walked everywhere I needed to go - I only needed to use Instacart for two grocery deliveries. I was so happy to be somewhere that was walking friendly and had great privacy and plenty of space. The apartment had everything I needed to cook, do laundry, and just feel comfortable after a long day of research. Margaret was an excellent host who left me to my own devices. I hope to come back to Rochester again and if I do, I would absolutely stay here again.
