About the host
Hosted by Liza Powell
Hello! I’m an Albany (aka Smalbany) native & host just a few houses down from where I grew up—this neighborhood is full of memories & means a lot to me. Albany’s given me so much, so I try to pay it forward by volunteering w. a few local nonprofits that target inner-city kids, while also working in the public health field.
Although I've always lived in Albany, I love exploring new places & learning about different locations' cultures & history.
Why they chose this property
Just minutes from downtown Albany and several shopping malls as well as walking distance to a variety of parks, I love the convenience of this location and family-friendly-nature of this neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
If you're visiting the Albany-area, the LOCATION of this property is prime!
