Lovely stay, exceeded expectations

From booking to arrival to departure, one of the easiest and nicest rentals you can get. The basement apartment is all newly renovated and charmingly appointed. Everything a couple needs for a relaxing stay. Nice design touches (LOVED the wine sampling display, great idea and I loved the fact that the wines were priced essentially at retail - kudos for no "hotel" prices! I hope guests take advantage). I could go on with how the place exceeded our expectations, but you get the idea. Accomodations, location, hosts - would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Great weekend in Ithaca!

We rented the property for a weekend stay to attend the NYS Special Olympics state championships that our son was coaching. The apartment was just as advertised - private entrance, beautifully decorated and furnished, and comfortable to relax in after the track meet. Same was true of the outside amenities (patio, hot tub and fire pit) - also private and well furnished (even down to the fire starting kit and smores!!) and we very much appreciated having them to use as well!! It was in the beautiful hills above Ithaca away from traffic and bustle of the city, but in 5 minutes we were able to reach every destination we needed. The hosts were super friendly and helpful too! Overall a super weekend -highly recommend!
