Tiny Tranquility near City Activity
What a beautiful view and peaceful location. Quiet neighborhood, safe and tranquil just as described. As I will be a regular traveler to the area I will look to stay again for future travels. Perfect for 1-2 people and the outdoor shower in a chilly morning was blissful. Dina was friendly and you would have known you were in there same property except for her to reach out and check in the day prior to leaving. 10/10 for any traveler looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway close enough to access anything you may want/need to do.

Cozy bungalow in desirable area!
My husband, one year old, and I stayed here for a long weekend to visit the zoo and the museum of play. This place was perfect for us! The house is spectacularly clean and has everything you need. I love how everything is decorated so nicely and it's very homey. Tons of close restaurants and a beautiful park made this the perfect location. We'd definitely come back to this air BNB if we found ourselves back in the area. Thank you!

Studio Apt close to Park Lighthouse & Lake Ontario
Thanks again Gregory, we enjoyed the stay and the studio apartment; it was very comfortable and super clean. The area is pretty nice especially west of the apartment. Imagine it would be a very busy area in summer. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would return and recommend to friends!

Homey/private ranch near Henrietta comercial area.
Beatriz's place worked out great for us. It was clean, comfy and close to where we needed to be. This is an easy recommendation.

Entire 3rd-floor w/ kitchenette. No cleaning fee
Pam was an excellent host! Right there to greet us upon arrival, super welcoming! The place was cozy and comfortable. We felt right at home. They stocked up on anything we could need!! Even a basket of snacks đ I would definitely stay again!! See you for the next dance festival!! Thank you Pam!

Canandaigua Farmhouse Guest Suite
This guest suite was spotless and came well stocked with extra amenities. We busied ourselves exploring the Canandaigua downtown and lakefront, so unfortunately didnât spend a lot of time in the suite, but it was a cozy and comfortable place to return to and wind down after a day full of activities. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a conveniently located BnB to the Canandaigua area!

Cozy Lower Level Apartment in the Grove
Laura's basement apartment was a treat. It's everything a guest could ask for: clean, excellent location, well-appointed. It had even had some snacks!

Beds on Berkeley in the Park Avenue neighborhood
We loved the house! Beautiful space, lovely neighborhood! Comfy beds too! There was not a single thing they did not anticipate us needing, that wasn't already there! Will definitely stay there again!
Boutique hotels in Rochester

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit 1
For the location, comfort, walkability, availability, utility and John's responsiveness, safe-accommodations and value/price...almost unbelievable & unbeatable! If you need a place to crash or you need to stay comfortably for some time (i.e. weeks) in Rochester, this is going to be one of, if not, your top option. For multiple people (more than two), it would be a little close quarters to stay more than a few days--like if you will have any others over or stopping by. For my purposes, being in town for two nights for a sporting event, John's place was 100% perfect! Gave me the feeling that my college dorm room (which I loved and re-requested multiple years) had been upgraded to a way better adult format! And with a very nice, immaculate bathroom, retro-design little refrigerator and everything I needed/wanted. Side note: Walk to Ugly Duck Coffee for the best in-town experience!! (Though there is good coffee & maker in the room.)

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit 2
Cozy little place that was perfect for my one night in Rochester. Close to a lot of night life, I will need to plan ahead next time and explore!

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit 4
Great place; perfect location!

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit 3
I love staying at the Rest! John is a great host. The place is perfect for my needs as a solo traveller on occasional visits to Rochester. Its so close to everything downtown, arts district, museums, food, coffee, nightlife. The place is always clean, tidy, with modern ammenities and conveniences! I will definitely be back. Thank you John!!!

Creekside Bristol Cottage with Hot Tub & Fireplace
A lovely, cozy cottage perfect for a coupleâs getaway. Homey decor, very comfortable bed, decent water pressure and a wonderful little kitchen with pans and utensils needed for home cooked meals. We had a wonderful time feeling at home and comfortable here. The host is friendly and responsive and gave very easy and clear instructions for arrival and departure. Would definitely stay here again.

Haven Breeze
This house was exactly what we needed! We had a group of 6 for the weekend that was booked within only a couple of weeks of arriving. From booking to checking out, Alida was very responsive to any and all of our questions! This house allowed everyone some space when necessary and none of us felt like we were crowding one another. I would absolutely book with Alida again when I'm in the Rochester area!

Bristol Mountain Townhouse , Northstar Village
absolutely amazing. the location is obviously right on the slopes, which is great. but the house itself is gorgeous and way more beutiful in person. kitchen was stocked with everything that you might need. perfect house for a great ski vacation. it was such a pleasure to stay there and I could not recommend it more.

Nature Escape: Waterfall, Hot Tub, Fire Pits
Historic. Modernized. Spacious. Equipped. Darned near perfect. Our three generations, population ten, aged five months to sixty-some years, just spent three days at Gregâs place. This 200+ year old farmhouse met our family lodging, social, and entertainment needs in every respect. Each bedroom was comfortable with its own personality. The kitchen/galley area featured eat-in and room for big meal prep, while the large dining room allowed all of us to sit together at the massive old long table. âHistoricâ does not preclude âmodernâ -- there was proper tv in every room, and lots of âsmartâ items throughout the house. Some of us braved the (very) cold to enjoy the lovely hot tub on the screened porch. Others of us enjoyed the basement game room featuring, but not limited to, a pool table. The snow masked what is undoubtably a charming outside area with deck, pavilion, and patio seating area. Bristol Mountain is approximately three miles down the road. All in all⊠just outstanding.

Farm House Suite 15 minutes from Canandaigua Lake
My husband and I had a perfect stay at Chris & Jen's place! Super spacious, clean and quiet. Just what we needed for our weekend getaway! Loved being greeted by their dogs!

MM Properties: West Irondequoit Gem
It was just what was advertised. Nice area and would definitely rent again.

Perfect secluded ski house, lake views, hot tub
This is my families second stay at Breeâs beautiful home for the Christmas week. The family gathers from all different cities and such a perfect spot to come together ! Cozy and spacious , kitchen is well supplied and the views are spectacular. We were so happy to have a white Christmas this year and 6 fox sightings in the yard!! Highly recommend!! Havenât stayed for the summer season but I can imagine with the pool and hot tub and lake use opportunities it would amazing. Thanks again Tom

Sea Breeze Lakefront Cottage
Very beautiful place to stay right on Lake Ontario. Great communication from the host and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
