As you can tell from the reviews that I've written. I've been in town for a few days, and i've stayed in a few different airbnbs. All three of which were really nice, but if I had to pick the one, it's this one. School 31. I won't bore you with my history in Rochester, but suffice it to say that I've been walking by some of these buildings since the early nineties. This particular building is one that I had noticed a long time ago. And it is an actual school built in a brutalist style of nineteen thirties.

Same as before, what is not to like?

Loved the grandeur of the space and building. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was equipped (but fairly minimally so). Free off-street parking a plus. Comfortable place to hang. Nice neighborhood.

The reservation process was annoying (having to send a photo of ID and credit card while on the road). The kitchen could be better equipped. There is no washing machine (although advertised on booking.com at the time of our reservation). The booking listing said "2 separate bedrooms" but really it's an entirely open space; fine for us but perhaps not what everyone is looking for. There is no elevator & a 2 story walk-up, which was ok for us, but this should be mentioned since it would be a hindrance for some.

The room was beautiful and I loved the big jacuzzi soaker tub. I absolutely love the size of the apartment and how vintage it was. Bed was VERY comfy.

You can definitely tell it's an older building. Everything constantly creaked, the AC was very loud, the hot water tank pipes also very loud, and you could hear a lot of outside noise. Made it kinda hard to get a good night's sleep. However, considering the price was the same as a regular hotel, I'd stay here again.

The room was so eye catching and comfortable to relax in making it an amazing experience! Loved the projector screen and the unique room styles.

The blinds could've been a bit better with some blackout curtains or being able to set the length. Some of the things could've been a tad more cleaner like the loft bed/sheets and a clearly half used bottle of shampoo/conditioner but overall was very pleasant!

The facility is a converted 1920's school. These the most unique accomodations I have ever stayed in. Loved it. The rooms/lofts were spacious, high ceilings, kitchen, etc., nicely furnished, original coat rooms with original wood doors. Many windows providing lots of light. Great location in the Rochester Arts District. Excellent restaurants in walking distance or short drive. Parking was adjacent to to the property. Always a space available. 100% would stay here again.

Internet was "spotty" at times

Great location near restaurants and the art museum. Cool reuse of an old school building with fun decor. The second bed is in the lift and reached from a very steep metal ladder with rungs that hurt our feet without shoes on - probably best for children over 10 and young adults. It is open on the window side to bathroom below so not complete privacy in bathroom. Full size fridge and range but only a few cooking pans and utensils (no knives, peeler, mixing bowl, baking sheet). easy access with provided codes. no staff on site for requests (towels, etc)

This stay was amazing! The large tub and massage jets in shower were the perfect luxury after 10 hours on my feet! It was very clean. So much thought put into the design and art. Plus I had the best view! I will probably book here next time and it was SO much better than the hotels now adays!

Maybe a few more clothes hooks and outlets for traditional plugs

LOVED IT! It was the perfect place for us to get ready for our wedding and then spend the night together once we were married. We could bring our dogs and not have to worry about leaving them home. It was perfect.

HOW GREAT YOU ARE! I have to make sure to book far in advance so we don't miss out on this wonderful place!!!!!!

Really interesting and cool property, crazy high ceilings. Check in process through phone. Felt like the amenities of an airbnb with hotel service. Would definitely stay again.

They only had a thin comforter on the bed and no extra blankets. It was pretty cold outside at the time but we just turned up the heat and were fine.

This was our 2nd time staying here, and we loved it. We love the uniqueness of the rooms, the tub, and how comfy the beds are. Communication with staff was professional. We all in all had a great experience for our 2nd stay. Whenever we come to Rochester again, this is where we will be staying.

The rooms are definitely not sound proof, and somebody this stay had a dog the first night that was constantly barking. There was also a weird vibrating noise coming through the walls the first night. Our 2nd night we didn’t hear any of that. All in all though, we had a comfy stay!
