A great place to stay to explore the New York Finger Lakes area

We stayed at this property during a 2 week vacation to explore the Finger Lakes area of New York. It is clean and comfortable, neat and tidy, and located in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood that's perfect for a morning jog or evening stroll after a busy day of sightseeing. Shopping is conveniently available just a few minutes away by car as is easy access to the major roads that traverse the Finger Lakes and the local attractions in Ithaca. The hosts were very responsive to communications both during the booking process and the stay, and respectful of our privacy. Overall, it's a great value as a "home base" for a short or long Finger Lakes vacation experience.

Perfect place for Ithaca visit!

We came to Ithaca for our daughter’s graduation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sanjay and Shu’s place. It was exceptionally clean, quiet neighborhood and very comfortable! After a very long day of travel, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, fruit and pastries from Wegmans! Communication with the hosts was excellent, even providing me with links on parking for the graduation ceremonies. If you are visiting your child at Cornell, I highly recommend staying here. It is very close to campus, easy drive to get to campus and you have a place to park your car!
