The condo is conveniently located walk distance to Watkins Glen State Park and little downtown with several restaurants, ice cream shops etc. It's also close to Seneca Lake harbor. For that it was awesome. Wish there was a bit of backyard or front yard for kids to play, but none of that. Not much of a view either, but that's alright.
The reason for non-five-star ratings is first of all, the water boiler is way to small. On multiple occasion we were running out of hot water (and this was a hot weekend stay, so I can only imagine that being worse in colder months). We had a 9 people group, 4 adults and 5 kids. No way 5 people could shower the same morning without running out of hot water. And I mean, quick 3-5 minutes showers.
Secondly, there could be a bit more utensils, plates/cups for the group. According to the listing it sleeps 10, but there was barely enough mugs/cups enough for us. We had to constantly wash something for another person to use it. A few extra would go a long way. Some basics we usually expect were not there - scissors, potato masher etc.
Some blinds were damaged letting a morning light right in. Finally, the fridge kept leaking. We didn't call the owner as we were in and out there for just a few days and didn't want to waste our vacay time on dealing with that, but we mentioned it to the cleaners who came up to bring the trashcan one day, and they had seemed to known about the issue. Wish it had been addressed prior to our stay.
Overall an OK stay.
