We were visiting Albany for a family event. Liza and Jermaine’s home was perfect for our group. Everything was clean and tidy, the location was easy to find in a quiet location, safe neighborhood, off street parking in the driveway. House was well equipped, family friendly, our granddaughter loved playing in the back yard on the swing set. The kitchen had everything needed for basic cooking. The beds were comfortable, abundant thirsty towel in the bathroom. Their home really made our travels so easy. Wish we had been able to stay longer and if we return to Albany with a group I would love to stay again

We booked this as a one night stop on our way up North and it was such a great experience. It was spacious and comfortable. Very well lit. Very clean. The amenities were great! The back deck was the perfect unwind from a long trip. My 6 yo loved the swingset. The hosts included a lot of really sweet and thoughtful touches. Kids books and magazines in the bunk bed room. Books and puzzles and decks of cards in the living room. A piano which my kids were obsessed with. Free use of streaming services. 10/10 recommend if you’re going to be in Albany.

A lovely home with top-notch amenities in an ideal location. The hosts offered some of the best communications I've had from Vrbo property owners and were highly responsive. If you're staying in Albany, you can't do better.
