2 Bedroom Apartment in Ithaca

We are new on VRBO, but have been renting on another rental platform for 4 years with an overall rating of 4.98 stars ( we have two rentals). This rental unit has a rating of 5 stars on the other platform.
Once the garage of a well-known Volkswagen mechanic, immortalized in a poem entitled "What It’s Like to Live in Ithaca, NY" by Dick Lourie, our converted 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment is perfect for your Finger Lakes getaway. We are located on a quiet road close to Cayuga Lake, Downtown Ithaca, Cornell University, Ithaca College, Waterfalls, and Wineries. We are also convenient to Cayuga Medical Center, Trumansburg, Watkins Glen and Seneca Lake. For you golfers, we are located across the road from Hillendale Golf Course!
This 2 bedroom/1 bathroom apartment has a private entrance with keyless entry and covered parking (a plus when it rains or snows!). The apartment has only one step into the unit, the unit is entirely on one level once inside. Enjoy the full kitchen, in unit washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi, and Smart TV for you to connect to your streaming services. The unit offers a queen bed in the main bedroom and a full bed in the second bedroom, as well as cozy living room with a futon for extra comfort and an additional sleeping space. A portable AC unit is provided in the summer, set up in the living area. Please note for the bedrooms to be cooled the doors must be left open. There are also ceiling fans in the living area and main bedroom and a box fan for the second bedroom to keep you cool in the summer (we generally have cool evenings). The bathroom features a bathtub/shower and a hair dryer for your convenience. Many of the furnishings are upcycled from items from local restore stores, college sales, and "free" finds.
Outside there's an outdoor seating area with a table and chairs for the exclusive use of our guests. Enjoy the quiet that surrounds you as listen to the birds while watching rabbits hop by and the deer that are often passing by the yard.
One thing to note - We are on well water, so there may be a sulfur smell to it (common in this area). The smell usually dissipates after the water has been run for a bit. It is perfectly safe to use and drink. We do have a Brita filter pitcher in the apartment for those who prefer filtered water.
We look forward to hosting you The Old Volks Home!

Summary: This is the second time we've stayed here. It is very clean, has lots of space and the hosts are very responsive. It is the perfect location for us when we visit family in Ithaca and Trumansburg.
