Very place, convenient location

The place was exactly as described and everything we needed. Downtown/commons is walkable but we drove. There's a nice restaurant across the street that offers breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a nice happy hour. The host was a great communicator and the checkin process was a seamless.

Comfortable place, great location

My husband and I had a comfortable, enjoyable stay. The house is very clean and in a great location, easy to get to the very close by Ithaca Commons and Buttermilk Falls State Park, as well as basic retail needs. There is some unfinished work still ongoing at the house but it didn’t interfere with our enjoyment.

Nice small house with backyard overlooking park. Nearby restaurant handy but watch out for busy road on the way. 10 min walk to the Commons. Great AC in each room.

Even though there is still some work going on at the house (especially in the garden, outside) it is a really cozy and nice house in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to all amenities (shops, commons...) needed. Thank You Melissa for a great time in Ithaca.

Perfect spot for a family gathering

We came from out of state for a family event and wanted a house for us and our adult kids. We wanted a place close to town, with air conditioning. This place is well located, newly renovated, and has a terrific back yard, spacious and private. This house was great and we would highly recommend it.

Great location

House is newly remodeled, so there was some residual saw dust and unfinished work. Great location, probably the only downside was the only bathroom is downstairs and both bedrooms are upstairs. My mother in law was with us and doing stairs in middle of the night at 75 was a bit tricky!
