"This was a spectacular unit! Very Clean with a host who was extremely communicative. We loved the fact that Jines restaurant/diner was within walking distance as well as MANY other fabulous restaurants and shops. While The garage parking was nice to have,..it was one of two of our only minor complaint because of the narrow width of the garage opening. Our second minor complaint being the fact that the owner never mentions removing your shoes before entering the unit. With all that in mind.. We still highly recommend anyone and everyone who is going to Rochester to take advantage of renting this BEAUTIFUL unit.! It was a great stay in a perfect part of town."
