Clean homely apartment

The apartment was spotlessly clean with a homely feel. Very quiet peaceful neighbourhood, nice to have the use of a washing machine and dryer as we had been traveling for 2 weeks before arriving here. The bed was also very comfortable. The only improvements I would suggest are a bigger fridge, as we struggled to get everything in. It was very small. Also a consideration could be to slightly rearange the bedroom so that you can get into bed from both sides. As a couple in our 60's it's not easy to climb over the other person in the night without disturbing them to use the bathroom. Just our thoughts.

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.

Good base for Finger Lakes

This apartment was a good base to spend a few days for us to explorie the wider Finger Lakes region. This included Watkins Glen and Robert H. Treman State Parks, Cornell Botanic Gardens, Corning Museum of Glass and a couple of winery visits. You need a car to get to shops, etc., and we would recommend the nearby Gimme Coffee in Hanshaw Road and we wish we had discovered the more distant GreenStar Food Co+op in Cascadilla St a bit earlier (the nearby TOPS supermarket wasn't particularly good). While our very first impression of the basement apartment was not necessarily quite what we expected, we soon discovered that it was a comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. There was a good internet connection and TV with some streaming options, a well-equipped kitchen (including a complimentary bottle of wine) and a washing machine and dryer that was useful by the third week of our holiday. The PIN code entry worked well and was easier than dealing with a key. The bed was very comfortable, but one side was against the wall which was a bit inconvenient - a slight repositioning with a side-table and lamp on both sides would be great. We would recommend this apartment as a good place to stay while visiting the area.

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!

5-Star Stay

My husband and I had a wonderful 3-day weekend stay here. We were supposed to stay here last year, but due to unforeseen circumstances of a serious leg injury from a skiing accident the day before, and impending surgery which kept us from being able to come, the hosts were so kind to allow us to cancel last minute and keep the payment towards a future stay. That was so incredibly kind of them. We’re so happy we got to come and stay this year. We enjoyed the snowfall the one morning! We were visiting family nearby, so we spent most of the time with family at their house. It was so nice to have our own space in the morning, evening, and to sleep at. The hosts were wonderful. Everything was well-explained with pictures showing the check-in/check-out process, the path was well-lighted, and they shoveled the path for us when it snowed. The apartment was just perfect—everything we could have asked for and more. The hosts made it easy for us to stay there. They provided coffee/tea for our use, a nice little coffee-maker the perfect size for 2 people, dishes, silverware, glasses, etc., and they even provided dish soap. The bathroom was so nice too. Still needing to be careful in the shower after the leg injury, I was grateful that they even had a handicap grab bar to grab onto for steadiness. They even provided soap, shampoo, and conditioner on a mounted dispenser inside the shower. Comfortable bed. Nicely decorated apartment. Hope to stay again!
