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!
Perfect location for us - centrally located in ROC and easy to get to family in suburbs we were visiting. The house was clean and comfortable, had a well stocked kitchen and very comfortable bed. We were very impressed with the quiet in the bedroom. The house is near 490 and there are chickens next door, yet you can NOT hear them. The white noise machine is really helpful. No fault of the owner, I should have asked, but the one thing I didn't like was the scent in some rooms. Very sensitive to that and it was annoying. I'd love to have Airbnb have an option for "scent free" when I'm booking a place. Frankie was very responsive whenever I did message him. Our dog, Zee loved the place. The backyard space was really nice for her to have.

Studio Apt close to Park Lighthouse & Lake Ontario
I've stayed at Gregory's place about 5 times and each time is the same. Quiet, clean and easy to get to. It's super close to everything you would need and the surroundings are really nice. The Ms PacMan game in the room is super addicting so when you have free time with nothing to do, settling in to play a few games is perfect! Gregory is responsive and his place is always kept nice and clean. I will be staying there again on my next trip up to Charlotte, Rochester. Thanks for everything Gregory!

Homey/private ranch near Henrietta comercial area.
Beatriz’s place was perfect for our needs. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. There were plenty of dishes, towels and other amenities. We definitely recommend this place.

Desirable Bay Front Home-3BRD
This is a lovely home with a beautiful view off the back sun room. Everything was perfectly clean and spacious. The golf simulator, basketball, shuffleboard, and multiple arcade games provided lots of fun activities.

Entire 3rd-floor w/ kitchenette. No cleaning fee
Wonderful spot! We were visiting from Canada to check out the Museum of Play. Pam’s spot is the perfect distance to all of the Rochester tourist attractions. Her place is quirky and unique which we love and there were so many additions (so many snacks) which we - and our six year old - appreciated very much. We would stay at Pam’s place again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone else traveling to Rochester. Thanks for a great stay!

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 didn’t 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
Deer enjoy the backyard scenery and walk unafraid! Perfect in every way. Super responsive host. Love the location, thoughtfulness and special touches. Our host thought of everything. You will really enjoy it here.

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
Great host and very nice clean place in the center of attractions

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit 4
Always so peaceful and yet another great stay

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!!!

School 31 Luxury:LOFT
I love School 31! Always stay here when I'm in Rochester! Will be back!

Meet us Monroe @ Hotel on Monroe
Loved the location am fan of Best westerns so this signature addition was awesome

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit U5
Always easy to communicate with, everything is always clean, neat I never had a problem with anything this is the second time staying in his establishment. I will be coming back for sure!

Rest Urban Micro Inn Unit U6
Unfortunately our stay was very short. We arrived at 3 am and were gone by 8. We really needed everything to just work and be straight forward, which it absolutely was. John was very responsive to questions and the unit was exactly as described. For a short two-person stay in Rochester I would definitely recommend stay here.

Stay & Play! Group/family fun!
We loved our stay. The house is beautifully updated and very clean. This was the most well-equipped Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. It had everything we needed. The bedding and sheets weren’t cast-offs from their own home, but new and luxurious. Same with the kitchen, very nicely equipped. The hosts responded quickly to all of our questions. We would highly recommend this house to anyone going to Rochester.

Camp Run Lake House
This air bnb was amazing it had everything as listed. We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday and had an amazing time! The door code wasn’t working when we got there but I quickly called Josh and he handled it so quickly and perfectly. The house is beautiful and filled with mostly everything ! The view was stunning right when you walk into the master bedroom you see the large lake! Truly such a good stay I definitely recommend, might come back in the summer to enjoy the kayaks and the lake!

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!

Farm House Suite 15 minutes from Canandaigua Lake
We looked for a peaceful place to totally chill for a weekend and this was perfect. Comfy and cozy to watch tv and read. We picked up our dinners in town which were great! Bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Upon arrival, we were greeted by two adorable pups who ran up to us like we were old friends they hadn’t seen in ages. 🐕🐾 . So sweet and friendly. Chris and Jenn are charming hosts … welcoming and easygoing. Many thumbs up ❤️

Lakeville, New York, Cozy Cottage
We loved this place! I was here with two friends for a wedding, and we remarked over and over again what a delightful place to sit and visit- the decor is so cheerful, the couches are amazingly comfortable, we had a great view of the lake (Conesus Lake, I think?), and the electric fireplace was an extra cozy touch. Oh, and we arrived to find some amazing muffins- such a delightful treat!

Hot Tub | Pet Friendly | Canandaigua | FLX
Great stay for a girls getaway. The kitchen had everything we needed and the backyard/hot tub was relaxing. Located just 15 minutes from town for cute shops and restaurants.

Sea Breeze Lakefront Cottage
We stayed in this gorgeous home with our 3 kids. The location is breathtaking, the house is beautifully designed, very well equipped and very welcoming host who was very responsive and communicate everything we needed to know. Everything was absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to return there in our next vacation to the area. Highly recommended!

Rochester home*North Winton Village*GREAT location
This is my second time staying at Jess’s and it truly feels like a home away from home. From the personalized welcome note, the spotless home and the proactive communication, everything about staying at Jess’s is perfect. We are in Rochester often to see family and it feels great to know we have a clean, homey Air B and B to stay at when we are in town. I would 100% recommend Jess’s home to others.
