Oh my goodness! This house!! As soon as you walk in your soak up the beauty of this home. Everything was spic and span. The living room and dining room were the perfect place to visit and play cards. The kitchen had everything you needed...even an electric tea kettle! The beds were very comfortable. We had a neighborhood kitty visit us in the morning while enjoying coffee on the back porch. Very convenient to shopping, cafes and all those beautiful waterfalls. We've stayed in quite a few homes over the years and this one was by far THE BEST!

What a lovely apartment! I was blown away by how nicely it is decorated and laid out. Only on the last day did I discover that the building had been an Italian market back in the 1920s or so. Very nicely rehabbed into a spacious 2 bedroom place. The main living dining area is especially nice, with a large dining table, sofa, two comfortable arm chairs, etc. It looks out on a beautiful garden, which I wish I could have used, but for the almost-perpetual rain during my stay. I found two great coffee shops nearby - Botanist (1201 N. Tioga) and Gimme! Coffee at 430 N. Cayuga, which was only about a 10 minute walk. I heartily recommend Taverna Banfi at the Statler Hotel on Cornell's campus for upscale dinner. I wish I could have spent more time to explore the dining scene! There's so much to see within an hour or so of Ithaca: the Women's Rights National Historic Park and the "It's a Wonderful Life" (movie) Museum, both in Seneca Falls. At least five waterfalls which are all quite different (hiked to see those on an earlier trip), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (birds) are nearby, and the fantastic Corning Museum of Glass. Ithaca is a great place as a base for a week-long exploration of that area of New York State. Looking forward to returning and spending more time!

We stayed for almost a week and felt right at home! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and having 2 bathrooms was a plus. The neighborhood is very quiet and within walking distance to restaurants, the farmers market, and the Commons. We would definitely stay again if we return to Ithaca!

This property is a lovingly restored home with a mix of antiques and modern furniture. Lots of light, information on local attractions, everything we needed and then some (washer / dryer, umbrellas, etc), labelled with instructions. Beautiful private back yard with grill, fire pit, and places to eat outside. Flowers on the table when we arrived. Near restaurants and grocery stores. Beds, including foldout couch, were comfortable. Owner lives nearby and is very responsive. It was a terrific experience.

We had a quick, but wonderful trip to Ithaca and Cornell for a concert weekend and could not have had a better trip and stay the home. The hosts couldn’t have been more helpful, responsive and accommodating and the home was wonderfully prepared for us. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to stay in Ithaca to consider staying at this home. It was ideally located and in great condition.

We were in Ithaca for a small family reunion. This home was perfect. It was a lovely place for us to gather with relatives for some of our meals, and it was clean, quiet, and extremely comfortable for winding down and sleeping. The hosts thought of everything, including excellent directions for using the house and its amenities. We especially enjoyed the back garden. And thanks for providing Trivial Pursuit (fun to play in the evening).

This property is ideally located and beautiful inside and out. We took full advantage of the location, walking to the Commons or to the Farmers Market or Ithaca Bakery. The bike trail was a few blocks away. The owners were extremely thoughtful-- fresh flowers and a basket with treats and coffee greeted us. The house was fully furnished, and we even used the gas grill one night. The gardens are stunning and we spent a lot of time reading outside. The air conditioning and plumbing worked fine, and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you!

The house is in a quiet neighborhood. It is a multiple family house but the tenants are very quiet. There is a nice fenced in back yard where you can enjoy a fire in the evening and bbq for dinner. Off street parking is a big plus too. The apartment is very nice. It is decorated nicely and the woodwork is beautiful. We really enjoyed the place and highly recommend renting it n

Looked just like the pictures. Great space, felt warm and cozy but also very spacious. The garden was even better than I expected. Felt very secluded and private. Perfect location for walking to places downtown while still being close to Cornell, Collegetown, Lake Cayuga and surrounding areas. Very convenient home base for my husband, eight month old daughter, as we revisited some of our favorite Ithaca spots.

Wonderful place to stay!

Wonderful place to stay!

My family-my husband and I and our two adult sons—stayed here for two nights while in Ithaca for my niece’s wedding. I wish we could have stayed longer-the ‘great room’ was so inviting-comfortable furnishings with books and games available. There was a lovely secluded garden which I enjoyed sitting in early yesterday morning. It was nice to have the two bathrooms particularly with four people getting ready for the wedding-plenty of fluffy towels. The shower was large and the water pressure was very good. We ate meals out or at the wedding so we didn’t really use the kitchen but it was very well-stocked. The beds were very comfortable-the futon as expected- a little less so. The pillows on our bed were softer than we liked but realized after the fact that firmer pillows were available. Check in and check out were so easy! I hope to have another reason to visit Ithaca soon so we can stay here again. It was lovely!

Fab 2021 Graduation Weekend

Fab 2021 Graduation Weekend

We were absolutely delighted to be able to host our son's friends with their families for a casual barbecue/party in the lovely spacious garden! It had multiple grouping areas (firepit, bbq, dining areas), and we put a hammock in the tree. Due to COVID restrictions, the complete lack of official events, and restaurant constraints, this was literally the only opportunity we had to celebrate these special graduates with families after a very challenging senior year. Being able to host something this year was a real gift to everyone there! We invited guests from 6-8 pm, but they all were enjoying themselves so much that the party didn't break up until 10 pm (which also happens to be when the neighborhood starts quiet hours). We used Wegmans catering to go to simplify the food. Ann, our host, was in communication with us throughout the party and our stay, to ensure that things went smoothly. The home was perfect for us with its simple kitchen, 3 comfortable bedrooms, and 1 1/2 baths. It also seemed to be wheelchair accessible, including light switches at waist level and a straightforward floorplan. The location was very convenient to the commons and the farmers market. I only wish the sun didn't wait until we were leaving to shine, but Ann couldn't control that! Very appreciative to have had such a lovely setup after a really difficult year. Thank you so much, Ann!!
