Idyllic Rochester Apt w/ Hot Tub: 2 Miles to Dtwn!

Reviews

• 1/5

  Let’s be honest, I was expecting an old-age house, but more than that, the place is really dirty. The bathroom has a disgusting floor and tub, the kitchen has loose tiles on the countertop, the stove was greasy, and the carpets are really old, dirty, and smelly. By the way, the entrance and the stairs at the main entrance are covered in dust and haven’t seen a vacuum in years. In addition, the smell of wet dog is terrible.The backyard is not well maintained, with lots of construction debris, and the chairs around the fire pit are just disgusting.The neighborhood is really scary — groups of teenagers smoking in the playground area, lots of drugged people walking around, and the houses all look very similar, which makes it feel like a poor area.But let’s be honest, it might be economically standard for people living in Rochester. Price-wise, we paid the same as we did in other places that were way better, so maybe that’s just the standard for Rochester — but if it is, then it was definitely my last time in Rochester.

  We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially when it came to cleanliness and comfort. We followed up with the homeowner right away, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The bathroom has recently received a full refresh, including brand new white epoxy on the tub, a new bathroom floor, and fresh paint. Both rugs and the bathtub walls have been recently washed to maintain a clean and comfortable space for all guests.
  - The homeowner has completed additional cleaning throughout the home, including washing and vacuuming the foyer steps. The kitchen countertop tiles can be removed, but they were added as an update to improve the previous countertop style.
  - The homeowner is taking steps to address the odor concerns and will ensure the home remains fresh and comfortable for future guests.
  - While the home is located in an urban area of Rochester, the property remains guest-ready, and the homeowner has removed construction equipment, cleaned the backyard, and refreshed the porch area for a more welcoming outdoor space.
  We take guest feedback seriously, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience so that improvements can be made right away.

  Mostly clean rooms, shotty kitchen, loud floorboards, very hard and uncomfortable beds. Cramped spaces, bugs all over, no shower soap, odd smell, dirty chairs outside, got locked out while using the hot tub which we weren’t told about until day before so we had to buy swimwear to enjoy it. Hot tub was nice, apologies if we didn’t leave it how we found it.

  From the owner: "I’m glad you enjoyed the new hot tub. It was installed just before your stay, so we could offer that added experience. The home was built in 1929 and retains some of its original charm, but we continue to make updates to keep everything comfortable and inviting. We’ve added new outdoor chairs and reviewed all areas of the home to ensure it’s clean and guest-ready. I appreciate your feedback and am happy you were able to enjoy a relaxing soak during your visit."

• Spacious apartment in city

  4/5

  Our host was great at communicating before and during our stay. Check in was easy and the apartment was just as described. The mattresses are very firm but if you don’t mind that then for a large family it’s great to have a bed for everyone plus a living area to hang out.

  Carrie gets the 5 stars she was amazing and so accommodating! We had a place to stay in Buffalo the night before we were coming to Rochester, late in the day they canceled on us and there were no hotel rooms. Carrie let us in early and kept us from being homeless several thousand miles away from home and with children.
