We couldn’t have hoped to find kinder, more accommodating hosts than Ed and Tom. Such a beautiful place, and such beautiful people!

Barry and Ann, Arlington, VA

Ed and Tom are super hosts. Great location.

Dave & Sue, The Villages, FL & Rochester, NY

Ed & Tom are such gracious and thoughtful hosts. Ed particularly lead all communications, was quick to reply to questions I had, and always offered suggestions of things to see or do in the neighborhood. They took all COVID-related precautions seriously as well, and made sure that my stay and accommodations were comfortable and pleasant throughout. The location is perfect – and the unit itself is in a beautiful historic building that Ed & Tom take exceptional care of.

~ Melissa, New York, NY

Everything about our stay was great! Ed & Tom are thoughtful and attentive. The space is cozy and quaint and the location can’t be beat.

~Amber & Rick, Livingston,TX & now Rochester, NY

Ed and Tom are very thoughtful and kind hosts. The house is beautiful and meticulous. The other guests are quiet and courteous. The location is perfect for accessing downtown Rochester but also conveniently central for reaching the suburbs and outer areas of the region. Highly recommend!!

~Amber & Rick, Livingston,TX & now Rochester, NY

Ed & Tom are very nice and helpful friends (not just hosts). The house, neighbors, location, and everything else were great. I got this place for my parents for more than a month and they loved it. I 100% recommend their place for short and long stays. read less

~~Behrooz, Charlotte, NC

We recommend wholeheartedly a stay with Ed & Tom in their lovely mansion. The place is not only clean and comfortably, but very beautiful as well. And Ed & Tom were the best hosts ever. They were the most helpful and considerate people, always there when needed, out of our way when privacy was the right thing. They made our trip a magic fantasy, through both their kind personality and through having such a nice home and sharing it with us the way they did. Lucky you if you have a chance to visit.

~Wenche Berthelsen, Norway December 2019

This was our first stay in an Airbnb and it was AWESOME! 100% better than any hotel we ever stayed in. Our Host was WONDERFUL and we were sad to leave at the end of our stay. Fresh flowers in the hallway was a nice touch. The entry was amazing as was our apartment and I better stop saying all these great things about this place because too many people will want to stay here and we won”t be able to get back in this awesome place. 🙂 Off street parking just one more great thing about this GEM.

~ Leveda Gavin, Texas March & Summer 2019

Great space, great hosts (quick and thoughtful communication; very friendly and welcoming), great location (short walking distance to Park ave shops/restaurants), great value (spacious one bedroom apt, working fireplace, off street parking, fully equipped kitchen, lots of charm). Highly recommend.

~ Kristin Adair February 2019

Ed & Tom were great, and the apartment is unique & beautiful. Highly recommended.

~JD January 2019

Location is A++++! Close to breweries, coffee shops, the top restaurants in Rochester. They are so hospitable and the space is really beautiful.

~ Erin, December 2018

Ed was just fantastic. Easy to message and get a quick response, Ed was able to provide extra amenities needed. Very comfortable bed. Very relaxed ambiance and a quiet road with easy access to great bars and restaurants. The apartment was very clean and easy to adjust temperature to get to desired range. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for both a short or long term stay. Thank you to Ed for all your hospitality we will be looking to use you again!

~Neville Nov 2018

We’ve been living in this flat all September and felt incredibly comfortable. The apartment is very large, each room is bright and spacious, has pleasant scenery . the decoration is artistic and the maintenance is very good, Anna had carefully cleaned before moving in, everything is perfect. The surrounding environment is very good, with safe communities, friendly neighbors, and many popular restaurants nearby. Commercial facilities are also very complete. There is a food supermarket with a variety of products within 5 minutes’ walk, a large supermarket with 3 minutes’ drive or 20 minutes’ walk. ED &TOM are perfect landlord, nice, friendly, patient and careful! The apartment has complete facilities, they also provide a lot of daily necessities, and they give us a lot of help enthusiastically, so that we have a warm home in a foreign country, very touched! Thank ED & TOM for everything! We hope could book ED &TOM’s apartment in the future!

~Yi Fang, Oct 2018

This is a great and extremely quiet space in a beautiful mansion. So much is within walking distance & there is off street parking which is a huge plus in the city. It is a bit of a haul up 3 flights of stairs (especially with groceries) but you’ll quickly get used to it & the stairs are wide. I appreciated the super friendly communication & assistance. Highly recommend this space & hosts!

~Tricia, from Texas

Ed and Tom’s place is a great place to stay in Rochester. It is a really pretty/unique historic mansion and is in a great part of town. Close to downtown and Park Ave shops/restaurants. Area felt safe and is in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of trees. Ed and Tom were very helpful and responsive to needs/requests. I would definitely stay with them again and recommend them to friends and family.

~Natacha M, from Austin, Texas

We had a wonderful 2 week stay in a beautiful house. It had everything we needed to make us comfortable. It was in a great location in Rochester.

~Ian and Joyce, from Great Britain

Ed and Tom were great hosts! The place was exactly as described and they were very accommodating with my check-in / check-out times. They left me their number and were always quick to respond if I needed anything at all! Would definitely stay there again.

~Mathew

We were made to feel very welcome and Ed was very responsive to our needs. We loved the area and would certainly recommend it to our friends.

~Iain and Janet, from British Columbia, Canada

It was just a wonderful Airbnb experience. Ed and Tom are really nice and they walked us through all the details in the apartment. They were always there to answer our questions and help us. My mom and I had a really good time in there. Super nice neighborhood, always quite and beautiful. Lots of nice restaurants and shops. We just fell in love with everything.

~Yiran, from China

We stayed at Ed & Tom’s cozy, comfortable lovely and very clean home for a month and the only negative part was leaving! They were ready to offer whatever we needed in the most genuinely caring and responsive way, yet always remained thoughtfully unobtrusive and professional. The rave reviews we provided were well deserved and we highly recommend Ed & Tom as the most gracious and efficient hosts in a home that is warm and welcoming…Thank you!

~Gail and Jon

Ed and Tom were great! They were very welcoming and were extremely accommodating. They even brought me an extra table lamp, because I mentioned that I would be doing a lot of work for my new job. Ed and Tom were also very responsive to my requests throughout my stay. I really couldn’t have had a better experience! The apartment is great- very clean and it includes almost everything you would need (e.g. kitchen utensils, cooking supplies, even measuring cups) plus all the amenities they mention in their listing. Very quiet building. I rarely ever saw any of the other tenants, but when I did, they were very kind and courteous. The neighborhood is great- probably the best area in Rochester. Within walking distance to bakeries, restaurants, and bars.

~Adrian

A neat, clean, and historical apartment with everything you will need. Ed and Tom are very nice! The staying is very pleasant. We are looking forward to come back again in the future.

~Lei, from China

Lovely place, very well situated . Ed and Tom are extremely helpful and friendly.

~Karen and Roz, from New York, NY

The mansion at 2 Argyle Street is perfect for a home-away-from-home stay. Ed and Tom have made sure that all details are carefully attended to and this makes the apartment very comfortable. We loved the location for walking to restaurants, shops and The Little Theatre. Off street parking was a fabulous bonus as well. Most of all, it is the hospitality provided by Ed and Tom that make you feel at home. We had a marvelous time!

~Ann and Chuck, from Steamboat Springs, CO

Whenever I had an issue, Ed always responded quickly and fixed the issue. Couldn’t have been more responsive. Thank you!

~Don, Palm Beach Gardens, FL

This apartment was in a wonderful home with a handful of other units. All of the necessities were easily accessible and Ed was very accommodating. The neighborhood was great as well!

~Teardaad, from Syracuse, NY

A great apartment in a wonderful location if you don’t mind three flights of stairs. The porch/patio is a nice addition for sitting outside or entertaining small gatherings.

~Bob and Helen, from Oro Valley, AZ

The apartment is a home away from home, the neighborhood is great as well, within walking distance to shop, bank and many restaurants. Ed and Tom were very nice and accommodating, I had a wonderful time there. Hope will come back again in the future. Thank you!

~Laura, from Shanghai, China

Ed and Tom were great hosts! The place was exactly as described and they were very accommodating with my check-in & check-out times. They left me their number and were always quick to respond if I needed anything at all! Would definitely stay there again.

~Mat V.

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful house. It had everything we needed to make us comfortable. It was in a great location in Rochester.

~Ian & Joyce

Ed and Tom are terrific, and the apartment and the building are wonderful – full of character, in a great location between East and Park Ave., clean, safe, with off-street parking. The building, a converted mansion, has an historical designation and is full of period details. It’s a marvelous area for walking and running, adjacent to the mansions of East Ave. There is a coin-operated washer-dryer. The restaurants and shops of Park Ave. are a block away.

~Arnold R.

Ed met us on our arrival and gave a friendly and full orientation to the building and our apartment. No surprises! The apartment was clean, and it contained all of the comforts of home. We even had a nice outdoor patio for late afternoon cocktails! The location is perfect for walking to the movies, restaurants, and grocery shopping.

~Howard & Carole

You will be hard pressed to find a nicer couple! Tom and Ed were friendly, professional, and responsive. They care deeply for their home and their tenants.

~Kurt

Ed and Tom are fantastic hosts and their mansion is a beautiful place to stay at a great value. I chose this booking as an alternative to the Strathallan Hotel and was not disappointed in the least. They are incredibly attentive and accommodating. They worked with me as plans on my end changed with little notice. Ed and Tom were also very understanding when we accidentally caused them a major inconvenience, which is a rare find. The apartment is striking and well-furnished. The entire mansion is clean, quiet, and classy. The location is very convenient even for visitors without vehicles and if you do have a car, the parking situation is one of the best I’ve seen on AirBnB. I highly recommend this apartment or any accommodations offered by Ed and Tom. I will be booking with them in the future whenever possible.

~Kai D.

Ed and Tom were extremely helpful and inviting. They met me at the apt and were completely helpful; they even switched mattresses with another room that felt firmer for my bad back. The apt was clean and up to date and all of the rooms were large enough for me. I am from the Rochester area and the location is perfect for tourist. It is walking distance to the “park ave area” which has a whole host of great restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay there again if needed.

~Todd D.

2 Argyle Street was so much more than an apartment to me; it was home, thanks to Tom and Ed and their tireless commitment to maintaining every nuance of the property. The apartment itself was in great condition and the common areas were immaculate. There was a great sense of community among tenants, yet people respected one another’s privacy. Problems that arose with appliances or anything for that matter, were taken care of immediately. Thank you, Tom & Ed, for sharing your beautiful home with me – I carry nothing but happy memories of my years living at 2 Argyle Street!

~Maryellen D.

I stayed in Apt 2 for 5.5 weeks during a rotation that I had in the area. The space was very clean and Ed and Tom were extremely welcoming. The apt is as pictured and is in a safe neighborhood. I highly recommend checking out Park Ave for dinner which is a short walk from the apartment. I enjoyed staying here and would absolutely recommend it to others!

~Julia

Please consider this to be my long overdue, but nevertheless sincere, thank you to you both again – for all your kindness to me during a very difficult time in my life. I was so very grateful for your concern and thoughtful approach during my transitions in the depths of the Rochester winter. You helped me to feel like I was in not just a beautiful, but a “good place” in so many ways. Thank you once again. I hope all is well with you both. May you have continued success with your beautiful Argyle Street home.

~M.

I had a wonderful stay at Ed and Tom’s lovely apartment in Rochester! They were excellent hosts and met me prior to moving in to give me a virtual tour of the apartment and answer any questions. They were attentive, respectful, and always available to communicate via text or phone. The apartment itself is beautiful, safe, and in immaculate condition. When I arrived it had clearly just been professionally cleaned and I never had any issues with anything. The other tenants in the building were very quiet, polite, and friendly. Off-street parking was extremely convenient, and the laundry units in the basement were new, efficient, and extremely clean. I have no complaints and would not hesitate to stay here again! Thanks Ed & Tom!

~Alexis A.

Ed and Tom have a wonderful house on Argyle Street. I stayed in one of their apartments for an extended business trip to Rochester (six weeks). It is conveniently located within walking distance of Park Avenue shops and restaurants. There is a Wegmans not too far away. Downtown Rochester is within reach and I-590/I-490 is easily accessible. Ed and Tom picked me up at the airport, had WiFi installed and made me very welcome. They made sure that everything was in order and checked multiple times if there was anything I might need. Great place to stay when you are in Rochester (or anywhere between Niagara Falls and the Finger Lakes area).

~Kai K.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at 2 Argyle. Tom and Ed were by far the best landlords I’ve ever had. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and that any issues were resolved quickly and to my complete satisfaction. They take immense pride in the building and it shows in the landscaping, the furnishings, and the maintenance. I would highly recommend this building for it’s central location and proximity to downtown, great restaurants and convenient shopping. It’s a quiet neighborhood and perfect for professionals who want a relaxing, comfortable and care-free residence.

~Michelle D.

Living at 2 Argyle was really perfect. I needed a short term place to stay while in Rochester for a three month assignment. The apartment was spacious, well-furnished and very comfortable. The location is ideal right in the heart of the posh Park Avenue neighborhood with shops, restaurants and great museums all within a few blocks. I especially enjoyed the fact that it was not a typical apartment complex, but a building filled with charm, leaded glass and beautiful woodwork. All the residents are mature professionals, so noise is never an issue in this building. The management at 2 Argyle really stands out as well. They are friendly and accommodating (I had to move in on New Years Eve) and the few times I contacted them with a question or a need, they responded immediately with a solution. I can highly recommend this building and its landlord.

~Kathleen P.

2 Argyle Street, or the ‘Mansion’ as I like to call it, is quite simply the ideal place to live in Rochester. I really couldn’t have imagined living anywhere else in or around the city during my time there. It is a brief walk to Park Ave, where you’ll find some of the best restaurants and bars in town, including my personal favorite, Sinbads. There is also a CVS, Bank of America, and a fantastic coffee shop called Boulder Coffee all within a few-minute walk. The Mansion is exactly one mile from the East Avenue Wegmans and World Gym as well. As far as the actual property goes, Tom and Ed take amazing care of it. Everything is clean and the attention to detail stands out, especially when it comes to landscaping. They are true gentlemen and a pleasure to have as landlords. I recommend this complex without any hesitation.
