About this property

Walk 2 Blocks To Broadway from this Private Apt near Skidmore & Downtown

One Bedroom apartment at the rear of a Victorian. Private entrance and off street parking. Just remodeled in 2019. The rest of the house is still in progress, we won't swing hammers while you visit. Outside deck, grill, and dining table for your use in the yard. Great location for getting to the City Center, Skidmore Saratoga Hospital (.7 mi.) or downtown Saratoga Springs (2 blocks to the Hilton and shuttle to Race Track or Racino or SPAC). Visitors come to Historic Saratoga Springs for the horses, restaurants, bars, spas, classic architecture, boutique shopping and the history of autos, dance, bottles, gambling, the American Revolution and Victorian Architecture. Or just sit on the front porch and watch the world go by.

This is a 2 story apartment with the bedroom upstairs with it's own TV and thermostats for heat and air conditioning. Ideal set up for one or two people, however, no pets or parties please. The entrance is off the alley along the side of the house and has a small lot. The outside doors are monitored by cameras for your protection. Keypad entry for apartment.

The Kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, stove and refrigerator. There is a coffee machine but why not wander the neighborhoods and grab a coffee while you explore? We provide a hair dryer, q-tips, cotton balls, towels, bottled water, coffee filters, a few spices and kitchen basics and Alexa. Anything else you may require we can discuss.

A few notes, no pets, no smoking, this is a neighborhood, so no late or loud parties as the neighbors need their quiet too. And if you are comfortable with it, we would love for you to leave your shoes at the door and relax.

Also, I am required to disclose I am a Licensed NY Real Estate Associate Broker and the property owner (since 1983). and if it matters, I only practice commercial real estate. But the law has its disclosure rules, so I play along.

The location is 2 blocks to the Hilton and you can catch at shuttle from there around town in the summer. 7/10 to the Saratoga Hospital or Golf & Polo Club. Saratoga Performing Arts Center and the Saratoga State Park, Golf Course, Auto Museum, Hall of Springs and Gideon Putnam are about 1.8 miles. The Racino, Morton's & Vapor Nightclub at 2.2 miles and Skidmore is within a mile and easily walkable. Saratoga Race Course is 1.6 miles or you can take the shuttle from behind the Hilton. Albany Airport is about 30 minutes south and Lake George is about 30 minutes north. Local taxis are great and there is also ride share or CDPHP community bikes available. Amtrak has a stop in Saratoga and the station is 1.8 miles away.

We are locals and happy to help you better understand the area and give advice on what you may be looking for. Tell me what brings you to Saratoga Springs and send your email with the Header, Not 2 Square. After all, this is house from the late 1800's and it has settled a bit, so not everything is square.

This is a busy time of year, please contact me for pricing and availability details. Saratoga Springs is also the gateway to the Adirondacks and Lake George area. We cannot accept reservations from May- September that have a Saturday departure. Three day stays are expected for Memorial, 4th of July and Labor Day weekends. We are happy to discuss longer term stays.

Quaint, well-appointed property right in the heart of Saratoga springs. We had a great time staying at this property which is easy walking distance to the heart of town. I can't say enough good things about our stay and I would highly recommend this home to anyone considering a visit.

Wonderful property & location

Your host Ann thought of every little thing and all the big ones. Beautiful renovation of Victorian home. Short (Really short) walk to Broadway and everything in town. Just remember bedroom is 2nd floor & bathroom is 1st floor. Motion activated night lights were perfect. Great stay for JazzFest...Thnx Ann

Very Adorable Loft Apartment

The property was lovely. Great decor and the right amount of room for a couple. It was very clean, well equipped, and the bed was comfortable. It was a very easy walk down Broadway to restaurants. On this particular trip we were dressed up for the races, so for us it was too far to walk to the track, but only a 5 minute drive. It is walkable if you are ambitious (but it is always the walk back...) There's a cute back porch for morning coffee. Owner is very responsive. We'd come back.

Wonderful property and location

We had a fabulous stay at this property! It was exactly as described. Very clean and well appointed! The location can not be beat! We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood feel while being able to walk to all the restraints and night life that Saratoga has to offer! The owner Ann was very attentive and made our arrival and departure very easy.

Perfection!

This compact apartment had everything we needed! Well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and lots of quality towels. We were impressed with how close restaurants and shops were and did a ton of walking. We stumbled upon the beginning of leaf season and had some lovely excursions to Saratoga State Park and the Grant cottage.

Comfy Living Close to Town

I truly don't think I can say enough good things about this property. - The amenities: Never stayed at a VRBO that had as many. Anything you could think of was waiting there for you. Truly, like staying in your own home. Just add groceries to your liking. - Labels! All switches were labeled. No guessing as to what would turn on or off if you flipped a switch - LOCATION - I was in town for a conference and literally walked not only to the hotel (City Center/ Saratoga Hilton) but also down onto Broadway for all the shops - Directions - The informational pamphlet left had exactly what a guest would need to know. Very clear and left no questions. - Comfortable - the couch, the bed - just oh, so comfy I will definitely be back. I may just stay here every year I come up for the conference!

The Victorian cottage was delightful. It was clean and centrally located so you could walk to restaurants and broadway. The decor is great and the place is well stocked with necessities. Ann is a fantastic host and was very communicative so we had all the info we needed to have a perfect stay. We highly recommend staying here. It is perfect little place. Bill and Sharon

About the host

Hosted by Ann MacAffer

Host profile image
Please see the note above about what I do. I grew up in the Capital Region and Saratoga Springs is one of my favorite areas to spend time wandering about. Saratoga Springs has events going on all year, though there is so much to see and do even if you are not attending an event.. It is a very walkable community.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property years ago as a Skidmore College Rental and it had an assumable mortgage. My last tenants were here for 23 years and now it is time to show the property some new love. This neighborhood has gone from a student ghetto in the 1980s to a thriving and constantly improving area of authentic Victorians mixed in with some fabulous new homes. Walk a block over and explore the mansions of North Broadway. I do keep outdoor cameras on the doors as no one occupies the front of the house usually.

What makes this property unique

This location is within walking distance of Broadway,( 2 blocks,) Skidmore College and Saratoga Hospital. It is easy to get around to food, shopping, and entertainment from this location. A car may not be necessary if you do not arrive in one.
