I grew up in Albany and knew this street, it has changed from single family homes to apts. mostly. It was quiet which was great. The house is old but the renovation was nice. Back porch entry - porch needs attention for sure.
Memory foam mattress was very comfortable. Kitchen was great and well equipped. Bathroom is small and could use shelf for toiletries, as there is no place to set things except for on the sink. These are just constructive criticisms, I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this property.

Everything about this location and my experience with VRBO has been wonderful. My host sent me all the information necessary, it was easy access in. They thought of everything possible that I could need to make my stay comfortable and stress-free. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Great little back porch looking out at a yard. Easy parking no problems. The only thing they didn't tell me was about the stairs going up to the porch to get in. I ended up having to carry my dog up and down every time she wanted to go out. But other than that, it was wonderful! I will be staying again for my next visit up.

Gorgeous space with amazing natural light! Property was the perfect amount of space needed for myself on a work. Location is just out of ‘metro’ Albany. No issues with garbage/recycling or neighbors! Be mindful of street parking - 50 ticket for violations! All-in-all 5 stars
