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.
