We were so grateful to have this place as we came to drop off our son at Cornell. Even though I arrived over a day late do to plane trouble at least my husband and son made it on time by car ( an 18 hour drive). John was so kind to drive me into Cornell on the morning after I arrived, saving me the trouble of trying to take a taxi. Thank you both so much for your hospitality.
