Perfect Location!
We had two grandparents, two children with spouses and five grandchildren ages 6-17. The house fit us perfectly with the three floors of bedrooms and common spaces. Our activities included Niagara Falls, Holiday Valley and a Buffalo Bills football game. The house is in a perfect location for all of these activities. We also enjoyed ice skating at Canal Side. Brita and Vilma were very responsive. All in all, a great property!!

Beautiful and roomy
We had another excellent stay at the house. Our family gathered together back in Jan 2020 and loved the house. It accommodated all 4 families very well. For this trip, we got together to celebrate an early Thanksgiving. The two kitchens, huge dinning table, and overall roominess of the house made our visit special and enjoyable. Brita takes excellent care of her visitors and it is thoroughly appreciated. The house is within walking distance of quite a few places, even the grocery store.

Family Reunion
This was a great space for 3 families. We each had our own floor for our own space and could gather all together as well for meals, games, hanging out and kids' play time. The owner was very responsive to questions and even had some fun toys for the kids. It was a very convenient location - everything is within 10-15 minutes away: zoo, science museum, children's museum, riverside waterfront area for ferris wheel and rides, playgrounds, swimming pool and splash pad, state park beach, bike path, boat launch for kayaking. Street parking is plentiful and easy. If you are sensitive to noise, there is quite a lot of traffic in front even though it is a residential street. Most of the time, it didn't bother us though. We stayed 8 nights and there were a couple nights where it was noisy in the middle of the night.

Great house for a large family.
We really liked the house and the neighborhood. It is centrally located to a lot of attractions and yet in a relatively quiet area, especially at night. We appreciated having two kitchens and I would like people to know that the 2nd floor kitchen is definitely the better of the two. We spent most of our time on the second floor because of that although, we did utitize both floors. It was great to have a second refrigerator and if some people wanted to have a different activity they could use the 1st floor. Also, the front porch and the front patio were well used by all. It would be nice to have a railing in the stairway between floors particularly for the older guests and some of the mattresses were too soft and uncomfortable. Other than that we were all quite happy with the property and would rent it again.

Awesome except for the intrusion
Clean and spacious, ideal for groups or large families. Host was responsive prior to our stay. I recommend bringing household cleaner as there was nothing available for the day to day cleanups of your own messes. One noteworthy concern for my party was the fact that the co-host entered the property nearly 2 hours prior to checkout without permission or notice, I happened to stumble upon her in the basement while taking out the trash. The host did not seem concerned with this behavior which leads me to believe it is common practice. There is a full bath in the basement which is part of the rental, I found this intrusion wildly inappropriate as the property was till occupied and I had not contacted the company-host to notify we had checked out as per the hosts request.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 10, 2022
This is wildly inaccurate. When you do rent this house, it consists of two apartments that can be combined into one living space for big groups. Separate from this is a basement where I keep my personal items; I have a studio and a bathroom. We also keep all supplies like sheets, soap, etc. The bathroom she is referring to is not part of the rental; I do offer it to bigger groups on request from time to time. However, she did not ask my permission for use, which I don't think is a big deal as I was not there at the time. It's also an area in the basement with a washer and dryer, which is the only thing that should be used by anyone who rents the house. We don't lock the basement, just in case someone needs to do laundry, is in the instructions. To get down to the basement from the two apartments, one must unlock closed doors from the living area and then take the back stairs to get down to the basement. When WE access the basement, it's thru a separate entrance on the side of the house. As you can imagine, it's a lot to clean this big house, with minimum time between stays. My cleaning lady often does laundry in the basement after people check in at 4 pm. And she will also come and access the basement before people check out to get sheets, towels, and other stuff ready, which is what happened. In some sense, you may say this guest intruded on our space, which, again, we did not see as a big deal at the time, but I see from this review that I should have been more transparent when this happened. We did not by any means enter their living area, the area where they rented: separate entrance and space. As for the cleaning supplies, we provide plenty of clearing supplies, so there is no need to bring them from home. We do put that in both kitchens. The basement is our primary storage for all supplies needed for running an efficient “hotel” business, so I am surprised she did not find a surplus as she clearly was entering the basement.

We visited this property during July. We were extended family of 16 people we had a really comfortable stay. The description given online was very accurate and we did not have any difficulties in check in process. The host was extremely helpful and was very reachable. I definitely recommend this property especially if you have a big family with kids and adults.

Property was very clean and homey. Had all the essentials for our stay. Once there, stayed inside as neighborhood seemed a little sketchy. Felt very secure with the lock system installed there. Communication from host was EXCELLENT!!! Very accommodating and quick at responding. Allowed us early check in as we wanted to decorate for a special birthday party. Would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful, clean, & great location
A group of twelve friends went to Buffalo to visit restaurants and breweries. The house is incredibly clean and the communication was excellent. The managers reached out to us with all of the appropriate information prior to and during our stay. There were 7 queen beds and a twin. The beds were comfortable and all the bedding and towels clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed! We will absolutely return and recommend this home and any others that may be run by these managers. Enjoy!

Great house...Great location for a reunion!
Great house with a lot of character and great location! We are a group of 10 guys in our mid fifties that get together for an annual reunion. This year it was in Buffalo. The house was awesome. Plenty of room to accommodate us plus more. Short walk to nightlife and subway. We walked to subway to get to Sabres game downtown. Also a short & convenient drive to Niagara Falls & New Era Stadium. We will definitely be renting this house again! Lon

Great Property with TONS of space!
We were in Buffalo for my son’s wedding and rented this property. There were 8 adults and 2 children. The property had plenty of space for all of us and having the 2 floors was perfect because my son and his family could have their own space but had easy access to the rest of the house as well. The house was clean and the owner and co-host could not have been nicer. I would highly recommend this rental property. The only negative comment I have is that I thought the neighbor was going to be a little bit nicer than it was. That being said, we didn’t have any issues.

Very spacious however only a few blocks away from some very sketchy neighborhoods
We stayed at this property this July with a group of 8 people (6 adults, 2 kids). Main purpose of the trip was to see Niagara Falls. This property is great if you need lots of space. Pros: 1. Close to Niagara Falls (30 mins) and on the US side (if there are visa restrictions for Canada, which some of us in the group had) 2. Owner is very nice and helpful! 3. Very spacious however the space is spread out over three levels (see below) 4. Air conditioning works very well 5. Very nice patio on the second level Other observations: First level is old and feels bare, second-level is much better and that is where we spent most of our time. The third level (finished attic) is the best but smaller, great for our kids. Cons: 1. Do not use Waze to route as it will take you through some very sketchy neighborhoods nearby (we live in Silicon Valley so this is bound to be quite subjective). Highly recommend to use Google Maps which will route you through main streets. 2. One night there were a lot of "city-noises" around 2am that woke us up, fire-engines, police cars zooming by etc. 3. Finding street parking was sometimes a problem.
