Very clean, very comfortable, we were with a large group and had 2 houses, the general gathering areas accommodated all of us for meals and family gatherings for which we were grateful. It appears to be recently remodeled, they did a really good job.Just to the owner: oven mitts and more towels would have been helpful

Awesome place
This is our first time exploring Rochester and we came up for family weekend at RIT. It was perfect for our large family to have our own space with a kitchen and enough places to hang out and play games. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Great location
Beds had a plastic cover under the sheets which made for a terrible sleep. Could have used something better for the same effect
Old house so floor squeaks, so sleeping in is a challenge
I would stay again but bring my own sheets .

Great One Night Stay
Great one night stay as we were in town for an event at the convention center. Six of us stayed comfortably in the house, had everything we needed (pans, utensils, etc) in the kitchen to make a great breakfast, and we were graciously allowed a late checkout. Would look to book again should we return to the area in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Host
This was a great house and the host was fantastic. The neighborhood seems like it’s trying to grow up a little and I trust it will get there, but we didn’t have any problems. The house was well taken care of and the amenities were exactly what we needed.

Homegoing
The property was as described online. There are a lot stairs to climb; therefore, those with walking challenges may have a difficult time entering and leaving the property. The property is beautiful and perfectly located so as to get to anywhere in the city within 15+ minutes. We were very pleased!

Not lap of luxury, but very nice
This property has a lot going for it. There's lots of comfortable. The dining room table is large and sturdy. The furniture is all new and good quality. The washing machine is very new and large. Nine people can stay here for fairly cheap.
There are some downsides:
-The hardwood floors are rough in places and so we didn't go barefoot during our three-night stay because we were afraid of splinters.
-In a similar vein, the floorboards on the stairs move down when you step on them so that the heads of the finishing nails stick up out of the stairs. This was unnerving at first, but we got used to it. It's also easily fixed, which we hope the host does.
-This house does NOT have a dishwasher, despite one being listed as an amenity.
-Maybe related to the last point: there are very few dishes. There were four bowls, for example.
-Our kids found a blueberry and a toy car under the couch in the living room, neither of which were ours.
-The shower head was loose, which made it just hang down (as opposed to being posable) and adversely affected water pressure.
-The neighborhood...looks rough. I don't know if it is or not. We didn't spend much time walking around the neighborhood, but when we did, we didn't have any problems.
-There was a problem at check-in when the last four digits of neither of our phone numbers unlocked the door as they were supposed to, but the host was immediately available to solve the problem when called.
In all, we enjoyed our stay and were comfortable.
