It’s all in the details.
Overall, we were satisfied with our choice of Modern Cozy Upstate Getaway, However, it was originally renovated in 2020 and five years later it seems to need a bit of a refresh. Many of the attention to detail mentioned in the 5 star reviews (cleanliness, tea, snacks, communication) were not what we encountered. It felt as if either no one had been there for a long time or it was a rush job to prepare for our visit. Nevertheless, the home is about a half mile from the Corning Museum (our main reason for visiting) and a mile from Market Street which can be reached via a pedestrian bridge.A couple of pointers and some positives:The “movie room” was disappointingly very small ( the photos make it look way more spacious than it is!) and there was no apparent way to heat or cool the room. Use the VRBO app to communicate with the owner since using the phone number posted in the house was not successful. And while the age of the home gives it its charm, please be aware the floors are quite uneven in several places and the stairs to the movie room are steep and narrow. Connecting the kitchen to the living room there is a slant of wood floor of about 8 inches, easy to slip down. Just an FYI.The kitchen was stocked with enough pots and utensils to adequately prepare meals. And we really appreciated the generous number of towels that were provided. Parking in the back was very convenient.All in all, this property was okay for our 3 night stay.
