"This home holds a special place in my heart. I was born just two blocks away, and restoring it gave me the opportunity to share a small piece of the city that has meant so much to me. My hope is that you’ll leave with wonderful memories of Rochester and a stay that felt as comfortable as home." - Oak & Olive Homes Co-Founder
