Basement Apt

Basement apartment needing dehumidifier running all the time made it a little musty and noisy in a severe heat wave. Other than that it was comfortable, attractive and well located for us.

Outstanding apartment

The apartment was beautiful. very clean and neat. 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?

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.

Away from hustle and bustle

Unit was very clean and as advertised. Maria was very responsive when we contacted her with questions. The location is just outside of Ithaca, so you will need to drive 15-20 minutes if you want your conveniences.

Visit to Grandson and his family

Location was perfect for us. We were only about a mile from our grandson. The place was great for the two of us; had everything we needed. The host was very nice and did me a great favor. My only complaint would be the slight musty smell in the lower level unit. Would stay here again.

immaculate-- and the fireflies were a plus!

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!

A Memorable Stay in the lap of Nature

Beautiful vacation home in the midst of lush green surroundings. Very well managed and a clean property, exactly as described. All essential items for a relaxed vacation provided and very thoughtful of the owner to provide stuff which many a times we forget to carry. Enough qty. of blankets, towels etc provided for a comfortable stay. Safe and easily approachable place with private parking near to the entrance. Stayed with extended family with a kid and enjoyed every moment of our stay.
