Comfy family space
We needed a place for a 3 day lacrosse tournament, close to the venue but not a hotel. This rental fit the bill perfectly, lots of space, quiet neighborhood, the property management was very responsive and sent check in procedure and property details immediately. Would use again if in the area.

Property was big. Overall clean .some issues. Advertised ac and even though it’s spring, it was intolerably hot at night and no ac. Bathroom shower has issues and the floor got soaked with every use. Carpet remnants next to shower in front of toilet remained wet for the entire visit. Went to use the stove and it was filthy and smelled awful when I turned it on. That’s all the bad stuff. It was very spacious. Everything else was clean and pretty.enjoyed dining room table to eat and play cards on. Overall not bad. Been in better. Been in worse.

There was a terrible issue with the smell
We have tried to get satisfaction with us, but now no one is answering us. We did not check into the place. It smelled so bad.

Great spot!
Location was awesome, very good price for the size. Place was very clean. Only hiccups were that the check in code wasn’t right and we didn’t have any extra toilet paper, but the host answered right away and sorted it out immediately The host is very friendly and accessible and h would definitely stay here again.

Good value, responsive communications
Stayed with two friends for a long weekend. Property manager was easy to communicate with and timely to respond. Property was clean and easy to get to downtown Albany within 10-15 minutes. Reasonably priced so wasn't expecting many bells and whistles. Main downside was the comfort of the twin beds in the 3rd bedroom (mattresses were quite thin in that bedroom, other bedrooms were fine).
