The host was responsive, entry went smoothly and the neighborhood felt safe. The air conditioning worked well and the place was comfortable. The quality of the linens and towels was lacking. The squirrels frolicking in the attic perimeter did not affect our sleep.

Comfy house in a nice location

This is our second stay and the house was great! There were new towels and we really appreciated the AC. My kid loves the upstairs room and the location across the street from Highland park is great for walks after work and during the day.

Perfect for a long weekend retreat!

This older house is comfortable, clean, and spacious for four adults. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and a great location close to everything downtown, a short walk and you are in Highland Park. It was perfect for our visit to the area!

Very nice

Cute, very clean home in a quiet area. We appreciated that it was dog friendly. Super comfortable bed and little extras in the kitchen such as dish & hand soap, paper towels, even shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the bathroom. We could also pack light knowing there was a washer and dryer to use. Overall a great place to stay!

Weekend to visit family

Three generations stayed here while visiting Rochester family. The space was comfortable and convenient. Off street parking available for three cars. Location only blocks away from a nice walking park and also a smoothie place down the street at the corner. Convenient to downtown but quiet and tree lined. Highly recommended.

Quiet Neighborhood with a beautiful park nearby!

A well maintained home with old charm and modern conveniences. We came up to visit our son at RIT, but we’re tired of hotels. This was perfect! I don’t remember if the park was mentioned in the write up, but it was beautiful, we walked over there each day.

Family Trip

We are a family of five, two adults, and three children ages 5, 2, and newborn. The third floor was a perfect play space for our children. The property is perfectly located next to Highland Park and within walking distance of several coffee shops and restaurants. We loved it!

Lovely place

Lovely place in Rochester. 3rd floor bonus room was a hit for our 12 year old son. We enjoyed short walk to Highland park and Lamberton Conservatory is a must when in area along with Sea Breeze water park. Allison was a great host and deserves 5 stars! Thank you for your hospitality.

Convenient home with 3 bedrooms

The property is as described. No issues accessing the house and the location makes it easy to reach U of R and Highland Park. 3 bedrooms makes it easy to sleep 3-4 kids separate from parents. The house does smell like smoke. The house was well cleaned, but the smoke smell was throughout.

Perfect stay for U of Rochester check in!

We stayed 2 nights in Allison's sweet home. It's very close to campus & she was super helpful and communicative! It's such the better way to go than getting 2 hotel rooms. We had space to relax, play games in her cool kids loft and made our family's transition to college way less stressful! Thank you!

Fine with a few caveats

Having read prior reviews, there were not many surprises. My breakdown:Positives:-easy check-in/check-out-friendly hosts-excellent communication, always responded promptly and sent teams in when warranted-Pac-man machine was a huge hit, our kids loved it-location good, near Highland Park, good access to supermarkets and felt generally pretty safeCons:-the house is a little worn, can tell it's a rental -crib was broken-agree with prior reviews about cheap polyester/oddly fitting bedding-there was a squirrel infestation in the roof. Although we were told they hadn't breached the house, they were quite loud scampering around at night and early morning-slow shower drain-water condenser was leaking and the basement where washer/dryer was musty/damp smelling- they did fix it during our stay-the AC, which was quite strong at first, started sputtering toward the end of our three week trip and then just stopped working completely, making the last 2 days quite hot and uncomfortableOverall it was fine (but definitely not luxurious) for a short vacation, and as mentioned, the hosts worked promptly to address issues that came up. Worth noting that they also had addressed issues from prior guest visits, like the low quantity of dinnerware issue- we brought paper plates and utensils after reading reviews, but there were quite enough plates/cups for all 6 of us.
broken/missing blinds
broken screen to basement
stains on stairs to attic

Great location!

We went to the PGA Championship and the house was in a great location for the Championship parking as well as close to many restaurants. Plus you can park 2 cars in the driveway as street parking is limited. Allison was responsive right away if we had questions.

Convenient Location

We are from Rochester and spent 2 weeks visiting friends and family. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us (4 adults, 2 children). Location is centrally located so it's not far from expressway or any of the suburbs, and within walking distance of some restaurants and Highland Park. Allison was quick to respond to our questions. Would stay there again!
