Perfect place for Ithaca visit!

We came to Ithaca for our daughter’s graduation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sanjay and Shu’s place. It was exceptionally clean, quiet neighborhood and very comfortable! After a very long day of travel, we were welcomed with a bottle of wine, fruit and pastries from Wegmans! Communication with the hosts was excellent, even providing me with links on parking for the graduation ceremonies. If you are visiting your child at Cornell, I highly recommend staying here. It is very close to campus, easy drive to get to campus and you have a place to park your car!

What a lovely place to stay! It was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need or want. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. Very responsive even when I dropped a bottle of red wine all over their front sidewalk which looked like a murder scene in the snow. If my daughter chooses Ithaca College we will definitely be staying here again when we visit her. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Stayed in this cute little apartment while visiting my son and his wife in Ithaca. Sanjay was an excellent host and very responsive to questions I had. Apartment was very well-equipped -- he thought of everything! Appreciated the bottle of wine at check-in and the peacefulness of the neighborhood. My friend flew into the Ithaca airport for the weekend and this apt was just minutes from there. So easy! Thanks for a great stay!
