Crystal City Family Home - Comfort and Convenience

Easy to locate, comfortable set up

Nice and quiet. Close to everything in town

Perfect location and very well maintained and equipped. Seth made it easy for us to check in and keep in touch

We enjoyed our stay. Home is in a nice quiet family neighborhood. It is convenient to the Corning Glass Museum and downtown Corning with many shops and restaurants. The home is nice and clean. A few simple upgrades would make this VRBO a 10.

I am rating this property 5-star because it is hard to beat the convenience, and the owner has been VERY responsive throughout my 5-night stay. The house is almost walking distance from the glass museum and just a relatively short drive away from Finger Lake area waterfalls. However, cleanliness definitely didn't meet my expectation. Although large surfaces (e.g., bead, floor, counter top, etc) were clean, the house, in general, needs a deep cleaning. Blinds were dusty, base boards were not clean, the stove hood was greasy. Noticed cobwebs at several places all around the house.Regardless, thanks to convenient location and owner's prompt response to my many queries, we were able to ignore the imperfections.

The place was dirty. Hair in the shower, toilet top was not clean, kitchen counter was sticky. Food was left in cupboards, fridge and freezer. Deck and chairs were covered in animal feces. On the plus was the location. So very disappointed. If this is standard for VRBO, I wouldn't rent any property from them

First the good: the house is located on a nice block in walking distance to the glass museum. Thats it.The house was filthy. Dust bunnies on the walls in the kitchen, layer of filth of the ceiling fan, fridge was not clean, staircase was not vacuumed, etc.....the bathroom rug was so dirty we removed it. I cleaned and dusted the kitchen and living areas and contacted the host, Scott. His response was to tell me the house had not been used recently and that he was sorry. He made NO attempt to remedy the situation. Then I sent him pictures. And still he offered nothing more than an apology. I have rented many houses through VRBO and this was by far the worst one in terms of cleanliness. The best part was when I turned on the oven to cook a ham for Easter and the entire house filled with smoke because there was something that had spliied on the bottom of the oven from the previous renters. My second favorte part was when I lifted couch cushions to find the sofa bed and instead found food and a baggie with toothbrushes, also left behind by previous renters. Whoever Scott has cleaning the house is ripping him off. Ironically enough there was a large supply of cleaning products underneath the kitchen sink. But I was really disappointed that the host was not responsive at all. I would not recommend the house to anyone until there is proof it has been THOROUGHLY cleaned.

Great

Overall, a great house! Walkable distance to the downtown; safe, quiet, and quaint. Fit our group of people comfortably and fit all of our needs! Would definitely recommend to a group needing a place to stay.

We were in town for two weeks to visit family and friends. This VRBO worked great for us, home away from home. Located in a nice neighborhood, close to the Corning Glass Museum and downtown Corning.

House was clean, quiet, and cozy with four nice bedrooms. It was well-equipped with paper goods and cleaning supplies. The location was excellent - as close to the Corning Museum of Glass as if we parked in the parking lot!

Seth was great and very responsive.
