Tim was a great host, and house description was accurate with what we were receiving. Would definitely recommend this place for any weekend trips in Saratoga!
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 the wonderful review and your kind words. We appreciate gracious and respectful guests that take spectacular care of the property. We hope to host you again soon!
Very quick, easy, efficient setup was perfect for what we needed. Really love the space. The only thing to look out for is that last step when walking downstairs onto the first floor!

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!
This place was absolutely amazing. It was everything we needed for our stay. Thanks

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.
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.

Thank you, Kim, for your kind words and feedback. We try to supply our guests with essentials to get started, so you don’t have run out to shop on your first day. We look forward to your next visit!!
Be well,
Tim
The Grand Mayor exceeded our expectations. The Host was very easy to communicate with from start to finish. The apartment was bright and roomy and met all our needs. We will definitely consider booking here again.
