Just a beautiful place in Saratoga Springs - and the location is perfect. About a 5 minute walk to the main street where all the shops and restaurants are, and a 10 minute walk to the Track. Check in and check out was simple - and the host (Tim) provided excellent communication with this first time VRBO user.

Thank you for the great review!! Not sure what you are talking about regarding the stairs. The stairs are all standard height and the same as they have been for nearly 100 years when the home was built. We hope to host you again in the future!

Short and sweet

Nice space, great location. Only criticsm is a 4pm check in and a 10am checkout...feels like a that timeframe could be more generous, especially the 10am check out.

Thank you for your feedback. We frequently have same-day check-in and check-outs, so this gives our cleaners time to make the property perfect for the next guest. If you had requested additional time, we certainly could have granted it in your case as we had nobody checking in that afternoon. I'm sorry for any inconvenience and hope to host your in the future.

Lovely apartment in perfect location

Very comfortable, top floor, modern apartment with plenty of space for four of us in heritage home. The home retains its original, creaky stairs (3 flights up), but the apartment itself has been nicely updated with a good kitchen and nice, large deck. Pretty, quiet neighborhood of beautiful homes and a very easy, short walk to the Saratoga racetrack and downtown. Would stay again but bring own supplies. Manager was responsive, but it was annoying to only have one pod each for dishwasher and washing machine and minimal toilet paper for four guests staying 5 nights.
