Clean, great communication, pics looked way betrer than real life.
Overall a good stay. The property was clean and mostly updated, but the home was very old. The foundation was slanted so much that items would roll off the table quickly and you could feel the slant when walking through the house.

Very nice set up with sweet touches
We celebrated our family “Thanksmas” with my daughter’s uncle and his family here. It was a very quick trip but the layout of the house with the three bedrooms, generous kitchen and dining table were perfect for our needs. The 2-year old especially was enamored with the numerous toys provided and the older girls were able to do lots of crafts and games at the dining table. As the oldest adult, I appreciated the comfort of the bed and how clean and organized the entire place was. The little chocolates were a nice touch as well. The house was easy to find and the host provided detailed and easy to follow directions on where to park and how to get in. The location was great for the other activities we did while there. I am looking forward to making this an annual event and would definitely choose this VRBO again.

Absolutely fabulous stay
I and 3 other Veterans stayed at this location for our annual CVMA National meeting. I can say the accommodations were better than what I was expecting. The host John was very responsive to any questions that I had and very friendly. I got to talk with him in person. Two things I will mention is 1) There is an elderly couple in their 70's that lives downstairs, but they are very nice and several our my friends actually went downstairs to visit and spend some time with them. Charlie and Deb are hilarious couple. He calls her the Warden LMAO. 2) There is a parking space that has a sign "No Parking" there, please be respectful and do NOT park there. They have groceries delivered to them and that is their designated spot. I highly recommend reserving this location to everyone.

Upper level duplex
The home was well finished, organized and clean. Home came with everything we needed for a 16month old and two older kids. Unfortunately it had an overpowering frangrent dryer sheet smell to it with under-hints of cigarette smoke mostly from downstairs tenants. Putting our baby to bed in back bedroom was challenging and frustrating, the furnace vents when kicked on smelt of cigarette smoke and at times weed. The tenants went outside every 15 minutes to smoke until 2am. This created a series of the neighbors dog to bark, their flood light to come on (facing bedroom window) and draft of smell. Though tenants were quiet they ran the dryer past 10pm with only a pocket door with tiny lock separating them from upper floor, safety felt questionable. First Vrbo experience and won’t be staying there again. Owner was nice to text info but missed the one small phrase of “upper level duplex” in description when it was mostly a single family home photos and they made the basement rentable.

Many lovely things about this house. I most enjoyed the little touches of home- games, books, chocolate, and a coffee selection, and many other things.

A True Sanctuary
This property was everything my husband, our Frenchies, and I needed during our testing at the Mayo Clinic. The house was clean, quiet, comfortable, and cozy. It truly felt like a safe haven after a long day of testing and worrying. It had all the every day living amenities and there wasn’t any noise transfer with the downstairs family. The John and Linda are very responsive and proactive in ensuring guest comfort. They have created a peaceful place for people/families experiencing and worrying about medical issues.
We would recommend John and Linda’s house to any friends and family traveling to Rochester, whether it’s for a Mayo visit or otherwise. 10/10.
