A Cozy, Homely, Fun Retreat minutes from downtown

The area that the house was located is bad. There is no parking off street. We didn’t stay there for our planned trip and went to a hotel.

The house had a distinct smell of animal urine. It was very overbearing even after I burned incense and candles. There was no free Netflix as advertised and the owner never responded to my request for help with odor in the home.

Everything was exactly what we expected upon booking.The water was very hot in bath which I loved. The only thing we would have enjoyed a little bit more was a TV in the bedroom. However it wasn't a deal breaker. The stay was pleasant and comfortable.

The apartment was clean and neat. It was very convenient to downtown Rochester and felt safe, even late at night. Parking across the street was plentiful and easy. We would consider staying there next year as well.

Lovely place to stay! The host was very helpful in providing all of the details for the stay, the house was clean, and it has a very cozy feel to it. I'd recommend staying here if you're coming to Rochester. The only issue was that there was a guy yelling at us from his car for no reason, but that's not a problem regarding the homeowner, it's just the area.

Stayed one night. flew in, took bus to one block away. Comfy place. AC and fans in the room. No complaints.

A great stay, would return!

While I found the apartment to be mostly clean, I would not stay here again. The 9.6 rating is very deceiving. I booked based on the rating. I feel obligated to be honest so that the next person can make an informed decision.Issues listed below:1. The stairs are extremely steep & the handrail isn’t sturdy, which makes it difficult to ascend when carrying luggage. The carpeting needs to be shampooed or replaced (There is a faint unpleasant odor). The apartment entry rug had nasty stains on it.2. The floors need to be redone & made sturdy in the living room & both bedrooms. They are laminate (feels like the wood is rotting underneath).3. The bedding in both rooms were old & worn. 4. Some of the table lamps are rickety & need to be replaced.5. The curtains in the entire apartment need to be replaced.6. The outside noise is extremely loud due to the windows being partially raised to accommodate the window fans and ac units.7. One of the nights some neighbors were having an altercation (from 1am-3:45am). They were extremely loud & playing loud music. 8. The neighborhood is less than desirable.9. I could not sleep the last night because I could hear the downstairs TV until 1:30am.10. We saw one roach in the living room & a bee got into the apartment through the dining room window that has the ac unit in it. Do not be deceived by the property photos because they do not capture the true condition of the apartment (The issues listed above cannot be captured in a picture).

This apartment had such potential based on the pictures. However, the neighborhood was less than desirable - very noisy, cars racing around, police sirens, dogs yelping and WORST of all, woodpeckers making noise on the roof early in the morning! The walls were super thin and all noises came in. Very hard to sleep. Owner didn't communicate well and we had to leave a day early just to keep our sanity!

Clean, nicely decorated, comfy beds, well-organized kitchen. Convenient place to spend a few nights in the area.
