Cute Apartment in a Great Location
This is a great little apartment. It had everything I needed and was squeaky clean. Downtown is a very short walk away. Conor was a fantastic host. Very responsive and helpful! I will absolutely be staying here again.

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
