We really enjoyed our stay. The location was excellent. The free parking was so appreciated. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The wifi worked well. We were able to do the things we needed to do online without a problem. When we returned from visiting family we were able to park the car and just walk to dinner at several different restaurants. We will stay here again

The house was as described and in very good location. The only thing I would want different is that they let me choose my heat and air temps. I felt like the apartment was very clean open and airy. I would highly recommend

Perfect Stay

This place was great. Check in was easy, had parking which was a huge plus considering the area. The apartment was even better than described. The location is excellent. Short safe walk (even at night) to and from the Plaza. Nice outdoor sitting area too. It was quiet and very comfortable. Would recommend 100%.

The apartment was very clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept very well. The building is secure with door codes required x 2 to enter the main building, as well as one for the apartment on the second floor. There are also motion sensor lights outside overlooking the little balcony at the top of the fire escape off the kitchen, as well as the entire parking lot. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very safe in the apartment. Having a designated parking place in downtown Albany is a huge perk and it’s one of the reasons I chose this particular place. The other reason I chose it was its history - it is a former police station built in the 1890s. Really cool!There weren’t any wine glasses, but I did manage to drink my wine from a rocks glass, so all was not lost! The jetted tub was a treat at the end of a long, busy day. The host was very helpful and immediately responsive. Thank you for a nice stay!

The place was fine until it wasn't.

The stay was fine until my last couple of days when mice broke through and infested the place. I contacted the host right away and he responded quickly. He sent a team out to seal and set up bait the next day. I asked for a partial refund for the 2 nights, he said he would do 1 but I am still waiting for it
