Apartment was clean, comfortable and accommodating. We were there several days and the in-unit washer/dryer was a real plus. On a busy street but quite well insulated from urban noise. Good access to downtown establishments and RPI. Backstairs access to third-floor location was challenging if you have luggage.
Leslie's place was nicely furnished, very clean, and had lots of amenities. My only complaint was that the back entrance was poorly lit, making it tricky to see my way to the back gate and stairs. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay during RPI's Parent Weekend. I would most definitely stay there again.

We always appreciate feedback from our guests. The area the guest mentioned has good and adequate lighting and are all on timers from dusk to dawn. Unfortunately one of the three light fixtures' timer was off due to an unexpected power outage prior to the guest's stay and the other tenants in the building did not report it. The light fixture's timer has been fixed.
Overall the property was exactly as described. It was a third floor walk-up, very clean and well appointed. The apartment was well stocked with basic necessities and the washer and dryer were a plus! Leslie was very communicative and answered our questions promptly. The unit is in a quiet area even though it’s on a Main Street and the neighborhood is a typical city block. There were some cute restaurants within walking distance and it was only a 15 min drive to downtown Albany which was great as we were visiting for the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. The only drawback to this unit was that you could only access the unit via the back stairs. For an able bodied person this would be fine, but unfortunately I was on crutches due to a recent injury and it was a struggle to get through the gate and up the stairs.

We are so glad you enjoyed the apartment during your stay! I'm sorry to hear about your recent injury and wish we could have had a elevator for your stay.
I stayed 6 nights at this top floor unit hosted by Leslie LeBon. Reservation, check-in, and communication were quick and easy. Leslie was quick to respond to any questions or with any necessary communication. The unit itself was spotlessly clean and nicely appointed. Beds were quite comfortable, and the furnishings were modern and of good quality. The unit is well maintained. Leslie did mention a few repairs that were needed. But they had no impact on my stay. I really liked the place and would stay there again.
I have only one minor criticism and that is the location. Being on a busy street in downtown Troy, there is a bit of street noise and urban color. That is to be expected. The windows are well insulated and block most of the noise when closed. Obviously, most of this is beyond anyone's control. Nevertheless, it is something to be aware of. Leslie has done everything possible to create a peaceful home away from home.
On a more personal note, I was surprised Leslie took the time to meet me in person on my arrival. I know she is a very busy businesswoman. I expected a property manager would be managing the unit. That personal touch is much appreciated. Thanks Leslie!
My son and I stayed here for two weeks while he attended a summer program at RPI, which gave us plenty of time to really settle in and experience the apartment. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location couldn’t have been better—very close to campus and within walking distance to RPI (just be prepared for the hill on the way up). It was also convenient to restaurants, and everything else we needed during our stay.The apartment was exceptionally well-stocked and thoughtfully equipped with just about everything you could need for an extended visit. The kitchen, in particular, was one of the best-appointed vacation rental kitchens I’ve experienced, making it easy to prepare meals and settle into a comfortable routine.I was working remotely throughout our stay, and the dedicated workspace made that easy as well. The apartment was comfortable and had everything I needed to be productive during the day while still feeling at home after work.Communication with the host was outstanding from beginning to end. They were responsive, helpful, and made the entire experience seamless.After spending two weeks here, I can confidently say this is an excellent place to stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Troy, especially families with students attending RPI or anyone looking for a comfortable place for an extended stay.
