The house was clean and conveniently located. Coffee was provided. The stairs were steep to the bedrooms upstairs. I was disappointed that only a curtain separated the bedrooms. It was dark when we arrived, and it was a little difficult to know how to enter the house. However, overall we enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing duplex in quiet neighbrohood

The duplex is nicely decorated with homey touches creating a relaxing environment. The beds were very comfortable. Very clean with lots of amenities. Easy walk to a few of my favorite restaurants in Rome, China House on James St and LaRoma’s on Floyd Ave and little grocery mart a half block away. Kristee is great host! Check was easy. It’d be helpful to add to the instructions that its the duplex on the right as you approach through the gate and yard from the parking area.

Not many options for stays in Rome, NY

3 couples stayed in this property for a weekend wedding. There were almost no options in the Rome area, so this was pretty much our only choice. While the reservation was easy to make, and the communication from the host was great, the property is not exactly as pictured online. The online listing shows a very quaint front porch with wicker chairs making the property look like a nice in-town location. Unfortunately, guests do not have access to the nice porch or that entrance at all. The entrance to the guest quarters is via a back alley, a chain link fence, and a pathway through a rough back yard-- it was an inner city location. When we arrived, there were two large dogs in the yard, making us a bit uncertain about entering. The hostess came and called the dogs away, assuring us they were friendly. The walk to the back door involved passing a menacing pit bull in the yard next door-- we never felt at risk from him, but if you're not good with dogs, coming in at night with a dog barking loudly can be a bit unsettling. Inside was clean but very cluttered with very dated and random decor. The pictures online are much less cluttered than what was actually there. Also, there was a very musty smell and the a/c upstairs really did not adequately cool the bedrooms. It was only in the low 80's when we were there, so I imagine it would have been unbearably hot in the bedrooms if it had been hotter outside. There was a strong cigarette smell, too, which seemed to come from next door. The bedrooms were very small, had no doors, and the beds/pillows/etc. were of lesser quality than a typical hotel. The bathroom (only one, and it was on the second floor) was okay, but the shower was tiny and the shower head was only about 5 to 5 1/2 feet from the floor. To get to the bathroom and bedrooms, you have to go up a very, very steep staircase-- not good for the old or injured. Kitchen was well equipped and there was fresh half-and-half for the coffee. Overall, I wish the listing had been more accurate to reality.

Sadly disappointing

Kristee is a kind and conscientious host. The rooms were clean, but the online photo of the entrance is deceiving. The entrance shown is not for your space. You cannot enter your space through its front door, there's no lock in the door. The back door entrance has stairs that badly need repair. The stairs inside the house between the 1st & 2nd floors are very steep and narrow, tricky to maneuver. We wish her success with her repairs.

Very comfortable and well appointed rental

Kristee was a gracious and friendly host, who went above and beyond to make sure I and my family were comfortable. We were there for a funeral, and she even thought to clip my grandfather's obituary from the local paper so I could have a newsprint copy of it! The rental has all the things you would get from a hotel, plus more space, a great kitchen to cook in, and in-unit laundry! Very convenient to downtown Rome. Off street parking was helpful. Great water pressure and hot water :) she even asked how we take our coffee and made sure to have our preferred accompaniments available in our kitchen. Would definitely recommend.

Cozy & comfortable!

There were 5 of us staying — 3 children and 2 adults. There was plenty of room, and we were very comfortable. Christee was very thoughtful and provided cream for our morning coffee. It was a very nice experience.

Horrible. The pictured patio is not your patio!

This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. The cute beautiful patio pictured is not your rented space, it's the owners' private space. She's dog friendly but the house and yard is not! You actually rent the back of her house that looks like it's under construction, the door frames aren't even framed out correctly with liquid foam exposed. The yard has holes in it and under the fence (probably from her 2 pit bulls she has and didn't tell us about) in addition to the yard, it has piles wood panels with 4 inch nails sticking straight up out of them. The house had a damp old smell to it. We did not stay here at all. It's in an unsafe area and the house is not safe to be in. The pictures she's showing doesn't match what is really there. The owner should have noted that she has 2 pitbulls. We have 2 teacup Chihuahuas and a Boston Terrier (he is blind). Her 2 pitbulls ran us out the house. The owner refuses to give us our money back and now going through it with HomeAway....we ended up staying at a motel 6 Suite and it was much better than this location. Beware staying here, the pictures are not what you get!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Mar 2020
Guest called me stating that upon their arrival they were greeted in my driveway by a drug dealer offering services, and had video of the interaction. I was mortified and concerned for everyone. Guest agreed to meet me for refund and furnish the video for me to present to local police department. My guests and family's safety are profoundly important. My Grandsons were visiting and also staying at the house. Upon my arrival 30 minutes after the call, the guests were gone, and wouldn't respond to my calls or messages. They never responded again. VRBO contacted me shortly after, but the concerns were different from her complaints to me. They ask for a FaceTime tour of property to confirm that it was as advertised,and stated the guests would be returning to the property to confirm that construction was completed and area clean and tidy. VRBO found the the space "beautiful and very neat" in the virtual tour, and confirmed that the photos were exact. I explained that a storm 36 hours prior had done some damage, and we had a contractor replacing door where window was broken by wind debris, and sofit torn off. VRBO even spoke with him to confirm this. We absorbed the cost with no insurance claim, so it could be safe and secure for guest arrival, without time constraints of an adjuster. The contractor had simply ran to Lowe's for a roll of insulation when they arrived, but everything was buttoned up by my arrival at the house. All areas are guest spaces on my property ! I use the front porch to collect mail and water flowers, but nothing else. Most of my guests have utilized the space with total privacy. As far as my Pit Bulls chasing you from the house. If you were that close to my rescue dogs, how could anyone mistake a AKC registered Standard Poodle for anything other than a poodle ? The pit mix has replaced hip from abuse. I designed this space to compensate for the income I would be losing during chemo treatment, and paid close attention to every detail. Every guest that has ever stayed has been extremely satisfied, and the reviews on two websites attest to that. Had the guest just met with me, or responded to my communication on the first night, she would have gotten her refund that night in cash. I had already went to the ATM on my way home ! Next time I sincerely hope that you handle your business like an adult. Had your story not changed repeatedly to VRBO, this entire situation could have been rectified quickly. Best wishes to you and your family.
