Private luxury apartment in the heart of the city

When you choose this garden apartment for your home away you will be within walking distance to downtown Rochester, riverside restaurants, stores and libraries. By car, it is a 10 minute ride to the U of R, museums, parks, galleries and a lively night-life abundant with good food and spirits and free or ridiculously inexpensive live music, the quality of which will amaze you. It is a 15 minute rice to the Greater Rochester International Airport.
When you arrive you will find your apartment on the garden level of an 1870 Victorian home, with private front and rear entrances and key-less entry. Enjoy the radiant-heated ceramic floor running throughout the kitchen and bath. Beautiful quartz and granite counter tops finish the space. You will find the open design connects the kitchen and living room areas for easy conversation and socialization. The work of local artists, the soft-close cupboards and dimmer switches make it easy to create a cozy atmosphere for yourself here. The mud room with your private laundry and rear entrance leading to the parking area, can be closed off from the living area. The living space is well insulated for noise and the smart TV is equipped with Roku and Dish satellite service. The space stays cool during the summer without air conditioning due to being 3 feet below ground and the ceiling fans. When you choose this garden apartment you are ensuring yourself you will have a happy and comfortable stay.

A "no worry" place to stay
Everything is as advertised. We liked the location and the amenities. We had stayed here before so knew what to expect, and did not have to worry if the apartment would meet our needs. It did!

Gorgeous Apartment
If you are visiting Rochester, you HAVE to stay in this apartment!! The apartment is located in a lovely, picturesque area. It is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. It is central to downtown Rochester and the host, Margaret, was a pleasure to interact with. We will be staying here whenever we visit Rochester!

Adorable Apartment
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The neighborhood was lovely and close to everything. The apartment was very sweet, clean, decorated nicely and well appointed. Our biggest complaint was the bed - it was hard and uncomfortable, nothing a topper couldn’t resolve. I really appreciated the approach of the host - there if we needed her, but gave us our space and didn’t overwhelm us with information, rules, check-in and -out instructions.

Exceeded Expectations
The property looked just like the pictures. Everything worked and was in very good condition. We liked the off-street parking so we didn't have to move our vehicle every day. We slept well. It was below freezing outside, but the floor was warm. Hope we can stay again next time we are in town.

Excellent place
The place was impeccable. Beautiful decoration, clean, peaceful and quiet. I was 100% satisfied with the accurate place pictures and description in VRBO overall information. The Owner was very gentle and gave me the explanations needed about the place and she came to me the last day to make sure that I was ok with my stay. which I was without any doubt. I would recommend this place with no reservations...Thanks M,M.

Highly recommended
Absolutely fabulous, every aspect. The host went above and beyond in so many ways. The place is in a great location. It has all the amenities you could hope for. Don't let a bottom apartment fool you. She even has heat running under the floor tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. We enjoyed meeting Magaret and would hope to stay here again if in the Rochester area.

A fantastic base for Rochester visitors
I was in town for a bit more than 2 weeks for a fellowship at the Strong Museum of Play. I needed a place within walking distance and with a good kitchen (instead of having to go out to eat all the time). This place fit my needs to the letter. I walked everywhere I needed to go - I only needed to use Instacart for two grocery deliveries. I was so happy to be somewhere that was walking friendly and had great privacy and plenty of space. The apartment had everything I needed to cook, do laundry, and just feel comfortable after a long day of research. Margaret was an excellent host who left me to my own devices. I hope to come back to Rochester again and if I do, I would absolutely stay here again.

Great unit in a great Location
I can think of only positive things to say about this place. It was very clean and well appointed. It is in a great location where most everything I needed was within walking distance. The neighborhood is quiet. The only outside sounds I remember hearing were a crack of thunder and the beeping of a garbage truck one morning (but those can be heard no matter where you are). The listing says there is no air conditioning, but I didn't miss it, even in August and I like my room on the cool side. The refrigerator was cold, the water was hot and the bed was comfortable. I plan to stay here for future visits to Rochester.

Perfect apartment
We were in Rochester for three nights and opted for this apartment for its central location and historic neighborhood. So glad that we did. The apartment was perfect in every way. Tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture, very comfortable bed, and absolutely everything one might need in a kitchen. There were little touches that made us feel welcome, such a cozy bathrobes and fresh flowers. Communications with the owner was easy. I highly recommend this apartment!

Lovely half-basement in the heart of Corn Hill
Margaret was a phenomenal host. She directed us to a number of fun Corn Hill activities and met all of our needs. Very attentive and communicative. This VRBO is stocked with everything you'll need for a long-term stay. The surrounding area is beautiful during the summer! Many coffeeshops and a public library nearby. Highly rated VRBO for a reason.
