We stayed in the area because we had concert tickets at SPAC. The apt was an easy drive onto the highway to get to Saratoga Springs. It was a SUPER EASY walk down into Albany for breakfast and whatever else you want to do. Lots of theaters close by. When we first pulled onto the street, we were worried that maybe we weren’t in a safe neighborhood but the neighbors outside were very nice and helped us find our rental right away. The apt was pretty clean, and had everything we needed for a quick weekend trip. If you’re hoping for peace and quiet, I’m afraid you won’t find it here. In a ground level apartment you will often hear neighborhood kids playing right outside your living room window during the day, loud music from cars at night. Overall, it was a good stay. Worth the money we spent to stay and we felt safe while we were there.
