About this apartment rental
Our beautiful 1 bedroom apartment is the downstairs of our family home located in a quiet, family friendly culdesac, close minutes from downtown, shopping, routes 79, 89 and 96! As mentioned, our family occupies the upstairs unit and we’re a couple in our 30’s with two little boys. The apartment is a fully remodeled 950 sq ft., fully furnished apartment, new appliances, with a beautiful kitchen and spacious bedroom and bathroom. This spacious apartment is extremely clean and well appointed with high quality materials. It is well insulated and toasty warm in winter! Heat is provided by a beautiful and cozy natural gas furnace that is completely safe and vents to the outside. It is connected to a thermostat that is up to you to control. Hallway and bedroom both have heat provided by electric baseboards, also for you to control with thermostats. AC is a window unit, located in the spacious bedroom, only - but it is fully functioning and does the job of keeping the apartment cool. We provide a smart TV for our guests in both the bedroom and the living room, but we ask that you use your own netflix/hulu login, though WiFi is included. We do not provide cable TV. Lawn is always well cared for, whether it is summer or winter time! Bedroom is fully furnished with a queen size bed with an adjustable base that includes a USB plug and night light, and we do offer a mini crib with a thick crib mattress safe for your little one. A queen size air mattress is available in the unit as well for an additional guest. We have included a sound machine for an even more comfortable rest! Living room has two couches and a large smart TV, which could mean more sleeping room for those accompanying you! Dining room table seats 4 and the brand new kitchen has full size appliances including the french door refrigerator with a built in ice maker. Bathroom has a large vanity and lots of storage space and a dual magnetic shower head with a tub. We do have exterior Arlo security cameras on site, as well, for everyone’s safety and soundness. One is located in the front to monitor the parking area and the culdesac, the other is located in the back by the entrance but definitely facing away from the entrance door! In addition to all the amazing amenities we offer with our beautiful private apartment, we’ve placed plenty of family games in the living room for you to enjoy! Brochures and other fun area booklets are available to view as well so you can learn this beautiful Ithaca and surrounding area better and enjoy it to the fullest! We look forward to hosting you!

Loved our stay here!! The hosts have thought of everything — it’s well-stocked with everything you need. They are so kind and will go beyond to make sure you’re comfortable. The place is quiet and peaceful. It worked really well getting to / from campus. Close enough to take quick breaks between activities but far enough to feel away from “the grind.” Will definitely be back!

We recently traveled to Ithaca for Parents Weekend and had the absolute pleasure of staying at this meticulos property. The hosts communication prior to and at arrival could not have been better. This warm and friendly family makes you feel right at home. The apartment is beautifully decorated and spotless. Every detail is thought of along with snacks, amenities for the bathroom etc. We will be back!

Our 3 person family visited Ithaca for a concert/long weekend and this was an excellent place for a small family. Everything was clean and tidy. Not "in town" so you don't get the noise of the city, but close enough that it's not an inconvenience to get around if you want to do in town activities.

We enjoyed quite a lovely stay. The apartment was so comfortable, cozy and clean! The hosts were amazing, providing clear communication, both via text/email as well as easy instructions for anything we might need inside the apartment. They thought of everything: from toiletries to snacks and cold waters to full-sized umbrellas by the door.
Highly recommended!!

Extremely well maintained downstairs apartment. Kitchen looked like it had recently been renovated. Newer appliances. Lots of little extras, like water, snacks, toiletries, etc.
Towels and linens were provided.
Hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
Hosts did a great job of communicating with us before and after we arrived.

We enjoyed our stay at this place. It was well equipped and the hosts were very kind. We will stay here again when we are in the area. It's a great location for biking, kayaking, and visiting all the waterfalls and state parks in the area.

The property was perfect. It was everything we needed. Extremely clean. If we are ever in Ithaca again we will surely try to stay here. The host was available if we needed, but gave us our privacy. I would absolutely recommend that others stay at this location.

Very well maintained and comfortable one bedroom unit in two level residential building. Everything was in great working order, furnishings are new. Pretty ideal for a couple who wants to do some of their own cooking. Owners live on top floor, friendly folks. Jacuzzi and outside table are included in set up.

Super time in Ithaca
This was probably one of the most enjoyable VRBO’s we have ever stayed in. We were there for our 60th High School reunion. The hosts were very helpful and great to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience (well I guess we could have asked but it would not have happened since everything was perfect).
A very modern and spacious accommodation in a very quiet area. Deer were browsing this morning as we were preparing to leave. Very idyllic.
Next time our travels take us to Ithaca, we will definitely stay here. You should too since you will not be disappointed.

Clean and comfortable
The space was absolutely clean. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed, including a coffee maker and an electric tea kettle. There were snack items waiting for us. Branka was incredibly easy to communicate with.
It was nice to have a Wegman's grocery store nearby. Sometimes we didn't feel like either cooking or eating out, so we liked buying some meals to heat up and eat.
I'd definitely stay at this location again!

No detail overlooked! 5* Experience!
Branka and Zoran were the PERFECT hosts. Every little detail was attended to: spotlessly clean, hot water, great shower pressure, welcoming decor, streaming TV service with ALL the channels you love (HBO-MAX, NETFLIX, PARAMOUNT, DISNEY+ etc etc), extra bathroom essentials provided (SUPER fluffy towels, shampoo, toothpaste, youth brushes, mouthwash), snack basket, security nightlights to light your way to the private rear entrance (a little steep, so watch your step!), very cool in the summertime (a natural gas stove is provided for cozy winter nights), TRANQUIL setting where your door opens to 180 degrees of pristine forest with birds singing and chipmunks and squirrels playing in the morning), an adjustable bed (!), fan, spacious, clean fridge, fully supplied kitchen, comfy living room area. WI-FI. THUS PLACE HAS IT ALL at very reasonable rates for Ithaca. AVOID THE OVER-DEVELOPED AND NOW-CONGESTED ITHACA DOWNTOWN AREA: Stay with Branka and Zoran’s place and treat yourself to a real retreat! (Yes, they heaven provide a meticulously maintained SPA, right outside your door, even though we did not take advantage of it)

A Lovely Place to Stay
My family and I spent several days at Branka’s rental. It was perfect for the three of us. It was welcoming, sparkly clean, roomy and beautifully decorated. When we arrived we found a basket of snacks and cold water. Branka also thoughtfully treated us to a bottle of local wine to help us celebrate our anniversary. The apartment is located in a wooded neighborhood very close to downtown and the state parks. We especially liked listening to the birds while we ate our breakfast outside on the patio. It is a very sweet place and we would stay there again. .

One of the best places
Branka and her husband are one of best hosts in our experience. The property is super clean, well managed and hassel free. It's charming and cozy and the owners have put a lot of thought and work to make sure it has every amenity. Do stay here if you are in Ithaca.

Just what we needed!
The unit was exactly as advertised, only even more well-appointed than almost every other vrbo we've stayed in. And it was impeccably clean and nicely decorated. There were two nightstands with table lamps, earplugs (although we always bring our own), toiletries, extra pillows and blankets in the closets, a kitchen you could cook in (we made a double batch of soup while there).
We arrived late after dark and although everything was exactly as described in the daylight, we couldn't see the house number and felt unsure of ourselves for a bit as the ranch houses all looked similar in the cul de sac. Once we were in, though, all was well. We appreciated knowing in advance that the family with young children lived above and that the unit was under their living quarters. We weren't bothered by the pitter patter of little feet (felt familiar and nostalgic to us who were in town to see our youngest who is a senior in college). We texted with the owners some and it was helpful and comforting to have them nearby.
We appreciated the tourist info, and used one of the guides to find a beautiful hike nearby.
We were grateful to stay here. It was a reasonably priced, comfortable, clean option. The owners are thoughtful, responsive, and clearly care about their guests' experience.

Cozy
The owner is a fantastic communicator! This is a cute newly remodeled basement apartment. It is exactly as listed. Super nice. The owner makes it very clear that they are a family living in the home above and there are tiny humans present but they do provide ear plugs and there is a fan for white noise if needed. We only noticed this in the morning, but this would not stop us from staying again. This is a super nice vrbo with a great operator!

Great Apartment
It was very clean, brand new appliances and very comfortable. We visited our grandchildren and this location was convenient and reasonable. Their accessories were more than we imagined in terms of toiletries and kitchen supplies

Felt Right at Home!
My husband & I spent a week at this very comfortable & cozy apartment while visiting good friends in Ithaca. Branka and her husband have done a splendid job of renovating and decorating and the effort they put into the remodel definitely shows. The furniture is very comfortable, the decorating nicely done, a “welcome” goodie basket awaited us as well as refrigerated water bottles. There are thoughtful touches throughout and the large guest umbrellas came in very handy! Branka was quick to respond to our inquiries. The apartment is conveniently located to downtown - and Wegmans! We would not hesitate to return.

Great place to stay!
We had a great stay. The apartment is clean, spacious and comfortable; the neighborhood is quiet and feels removed from the hustle and bustle but is still within an easy drive to great restaurants, parks, and other activities. Branka was a great host, very communicative and helpful.

Comfy, well-furnished flat, in close proximity to Ithaca sites
We had a great trip, and the lodging did not disappoint. Our hosts truly thought of everything. Comfy bed and couch, good snacks and coffee/tea, lots of towels and all the toiletries needed by a traveler. Highly recommend for anyone in town to visit Ithaca and/or CU and IC.

Sparkling Clean and Comfortable
We had a wonderful stay at Branka's. The rooms were immaculately clean and maintained, checking in and out was a breeze, and we were very comfortable. With a freshman starting at IC, we very likely will be back!

Incredible in Ithaca
The property was simply excellent and everything my family was looking for. Extremely clean and spacious. All amenities were well thought out by the owners. The location is in the suburbs of Ithaca, minutes from downtown. Branka is extremely helpful with anything you would need. Plenty of brochures and information should you need it. Couldn't have ask for a better stay and kind/helpful owners. Top marks.

Our stay in Ithaca
Everything exceeded our expectations. From checking in to communication and cleanliness. 5 Stars all around! The location was great also, close to everything in Ithaca yet in a wooded setting where deer came close every morning.
Upon check in there were snacks and cold water in the fridge which was a great relief from a long travel day.
The bed was very comfortable and had an adjustable mattress.
Will definitely book here again! ❤️

Spotlessly clean, attention to detail, fabulous stay!
The owner, Branka, as well as her husband were lovely. The apartment is spacious with a very large bedroom and well equipped kitchen. Branka had gone above and beyond in so many ways, from a little basket of snack foods to a multi cable charger to plugs in the outlets in case someone was traveling with a little one. The apartment was immaculate and had very pleasant (and new) furnishings that made us feel cozy. The location is excellent if you want to go into Ithaca, walk by the river, visit Cornell or Ithaca College, head to Buttermilk Falls or Robert Treman state park, or visit some wineries. We were also very close to Ithaca Beer Company. This was a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely stay again!

Very Charming / Excellent condition
The property description says it all. The apartment is very well appointed and very well done. Everything looks to be like it is brand new. The host provides everything you need for a comfortable stay including lots of information about attractions in the area. Bring your Netflix, Hulu, etc. passwords and HDMI cables to connect to your accounts or login your devices to the new 55' Smart TV.

Perfect Ithaca Trip
It started 2 weeks before our trip. Branka was AMAZING. The communication was excellent and she is so very friendly. The apartment is beautiful, newly re-decorated, and in a perfect location to see the most in the Finger Lakes. We were absolutely comfortable and the little touches throughout the apartment made it even more memorable. Ive already recommended to friends and would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect getaway in the finger lakes.
We will DEFINITELY be returning
