6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
Place was pretty clean and nicely appointed. The windows didn't really work and didn't have screens so the time we spent there was difficult due to the fluctuating weather/temperature. The yard was very weedy and the porch was falling apart. Kitchen was spacious and nice, the bed was also nice and the pull out couch was pretty good too. Overall not bad but the place needs a deep clean and the windows need to be fixed and screened. Nice TVs. Great neighborhood!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the neighborhood, kitchen, beds, TVs, and overall found the home to be “pretty clean and nicely appointed.” As noted in our listing photos, this is an older building with many original features, including the windows. Removable window screens are provided in the closets and can easily be installed depending on guest preference and weather during the stay. Regarding the yard, it’s springtime in Upstate New York and seeing seasonal dandelions this time of year is fairly common. We were also surprised to read concerns about cleanliness after the review stated the property was “pretty clean,” especially since no concerns or requests were communicated during the stay. We are always happy to address issues in real time whenever possible and encourage guests to reach out so we can help make their stay more comfortable. As for the porch, we appreciate the feedback and are continually making improvements to the property as part of maintaining an older home. We strive to provide a comfortable, affordable stay at a great value for the area and appreciate feedback as we continue improving the experience.

Gorgeous space with amazing natural light! Property was the perfect amount of space needed for myself on a work. Location is just out of ‘metro’ Albany. No issues with garbage/recycling or neighbors! Be mindful of street parking - 50 ticket for violations! All-in-all 5 stars

I grew up in Albany and knew this street, it has changed from single family homes to apts. mostly. It was quiet which was great. The house is old but the renovation was nice. Back porch entry - porch needs attention for sure. Memory foam mattress was very comfortable. Kitchen was great and well equipped. Bathroom is small and could use shelf for toiletries, as there is no place to set things except for on the sink. These are just constructive criticisms, I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this property.

Everything about this location and my experience with VRBO has been wonderful. My host sent me all the information necessary, it was easy access in. They thought of everything possible that I could need to make my stay comfortable and stress-free. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Great little back porch looking out at a yard. Easy parking no problems. The only thing they didn't tell me was about the stairs going up to the porch to get in. I ended up having to carry my dog up and down every time she wanted to go out. But other than that, it was wonderful! I will be staying again for my next visit up.
