Would not recommend

It -is- a good location--close to a nice downtown area and restaurants, etc.--but it was not at all a good experience.

Functional place for a couple of weeks

We were renovating our place and needed a place for 2 weeks. The house is cute and functional. It is a bit older (feels like my older aunts house), but everything worked in perfect order (kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, bath, etc). Easy parking generally on the street and a small driveway to park off street if you can be careful (we were able to get our mini van in there with a bit of careful maneuvering). Great location- lots of amazing food around the corner, super convenient to university village shopping block. Will stay again if we are in a similar situation and need something for a longish stay.

Comfortable beds, great location, kitchen well stocked. House has stained kitchen chairs and an unpleasant scent. We did not mind the house being old but everyday items need to be replaced. Especially in the bathroom: shower curtain and bath mat.

Good home base

I spent several days staying at Johnny T’s Vrbo house in Albany, and it was a relaxing experience. It wouldn’t be considered comparable to a fancy hotel, but is quite comfortable with a lovely little back yard and deck. It’s a good home base if the objective is to explore the general area, and there are many restaurants nearby, as well as grocery stores if you want to cook. Johnny T. is an excellent host and was very responsive to any questions or requests that I had. Also, a difference from my own neighborhood, the block is quiet and there is always parking. I recommend it.
