Stay at 5th and Grand was so conveniently located to activities and restaurants in the downtown area. We were able to walk everywhere! April was a super-responsive host, the unit was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed.
great location in a cute and quiet neighborhood within walking distance to great food! We were in town for a concert in Albany and this brownstone was perfect.
This wonderful restored brownstone is beautifully decorated and in a great location. It’s a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and the Farmer’s Market. It’s also walkable to the RPI campus. The owners were very helpful, responsive, and easy to work with. I will definitely stay here again.
