Quiet Serenity
This apartment was very clean and in the most beautiful location! There is a beautiful small waterfall in the backyard, with walking trails that lead you to wonderful views of the gorges of Ithaca. The location was far away enough from the main streets to be very quiet and peaceful. Wonderful spot that was very affordable!

Great location, but small for 4.
Took our kids to visit Cornell for the weekend and enjoyed the property and location, but there are a few points worth mentioning. The most important point is the size/layout. This is all laid out in the disclosure (so no issues there) but just highlighting that it’s v hard to sleep 4. It’s basically a 1 bedroom and the “living Room” is pretty small. I’d say it’s good for a couple and fine for a couple and kid, but it’s pretty tight for 4 (even if they are family/siblings). The Decor is also pretty dated and natural light is pretty hard to come by in the living room. Feels a bit like you are renting a professionally cleaned college 1 bedroom. On the plus side, the proximity to Cornell and the commons is a real plus as is the easy parking. We walked to dinner at the commons every night. All in all, we had a nice stay: Good communication w mgr, clean space and V functional, just small and dated.

Location good, Apartment just OK
I chose this apartment based on the consistent 5 star reviews. However, it was not all 5 star in our opinion. Usually VRBO (and arbnb) is spot on with reviews and I have rented many in all kinds of areas over the years. Here are the pros and cons Pros: 1. Location is great. It was in the center of Ithaca. Easy to access restaurants, university and some hiking and waterfalls. 2. The space was good. Living room, bathroom, small kitchen and decent size bedroom. Plenty of space for 2. 3. It was all clean. Bathroom and kitchen very clean which is great. 4. Nice space in the backyard to sit and listen to the stream and waterfall down the hill. 5. Off street covered parking. Cons: 1. The apartment is musty and smelled old/stale. Sort of like a basement or a place closed up for a long time. 2. There are 2 dehumidifiers that are running almost all the time. Sort of confirms the first point. Creates noise and if turned off it is obvious the humidity rises. Like a basement. 3.The apartment was dated. Older furnishings. Kitchen old. Broken built in microwave but had a small one available to the side. 4. The bed was older and uncomfortable. Overall the stay was good. We spent most of the time hiking and exploring and only returned in evenings. However, if we had to spend more time in the apartment I would have a problem with that. For example if I chose this apartment to work from for several day. Writing

Great Location on Cascadilla Gorge
This apartment was in a great spot to walk down to the Commons and hike up Cascadilla Gorge. Just be aware that the fees are very high—so the price per night gets really high after the additional fees.

Great Location for a Cornell visit
This property could not have been more perfect for Cornell graduation weekend. Tucked away with ample parking in an otherwise very busy Ithaca, it provided a no stress environment in an otherwise stressful situation. The property was very clean! The bed and sofa were very comfortable. The location was again, perfect for on campus activities and for just exploring Ithaca. I’ve already recommended it to other Cornell alumni and friends.

A Pleasant Oasis in Ithaca
Came to Ithaca for meetings at Cornell and to visit my son who is studying at Cornell. This property was a very affordable, clean and well organized alternative to hotels, which are notoriously expensive on “special” weekends in Ithaca. Hosts were very communicative and easily helped problem solve the few very small issues that arose. Kitchen is well stocked with major essentials including coffee. Living space is well appointed with seating both for eating and for relaxing. Parking was really easy. Only complaint is that the walk up Buffalo St to Cornell’s campus is not as easy as when I was younger but provided a good workout each morning! Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Ithaca, Cornell or Ithaca College. Also very convenient to the amazing Ithaca Farmers Market by car or by a long but beautiful walk.

downtown ithaca location & quiet comfort
This apartment is more spacious and comfortable than I gathered from looking at the pictures online. A nice spacious sitting room with recliner and soft lighting, A large bedroom with a mattress that was relatively comfortable A kitchen with the necessary things - microwave, fridge (set too cold) The walk up the gorge/waterfall is a few blocks away, but you can hear the waterfall from the property. The location is quiet and up a hill. Nice communication with property owner!

We wanted to walk while we were in Ithaca. This apartment is clean and comfortable. It is 3 or 4 blocks from shopping and restaurants.The hill up to Cornell was long and quite steep. Very quiet area. The kitchen is very small but adequate for simple food preparation. Owner was very responsive.

Great location
My favorite thing about this property was the location. It feels like you're in the woods. It was so easy to get to the places we wanted to go. We could have walked down the hill to restaurants, but our legs were tired from hiking into and out of gorges, so we just drove. Bed was comfy. Pull-out sofa bed had ... your usual pull-out sofa mattress, so my 18yo opted to sleep on the couch as is, which was fine. Vanessa, the property manager, was extremely responsive. It was a great stay.
