Great value for this stay in Saratoga. We had 4 adults and 2 dogs for a stay over Thanksgiving and were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed for light meals and there was enough space we didn’t feel on top of each other.

Great location and perfect for a couple and our pooch. No frills but has your necessities and they let us use their charger for our car. The only thing I would add is a full length mirror. I was going to a wedding it would have been nice to see the whole picture. Other than that, it’s a nice space.

Very nice, Karen met us right away upon our arrival. The place was clean and everything worked. It was very quiet - we noticed the owners driving slooowly by our rental to avoid disturbing us. It is in a very peaceful and wooded neighborhood, and we felt safe not locking the doors. We totally would stay again.

Clean, Comfortable and Quiet

This was the perfect place for our 3 day getaway. The apartment was just as pictured and spotless. It had everything we needed and more. We loved the location. It was quiet and peaceful and close to nature paths and some great hiking and terrific restaurants. The hosts were friendly and personable and unobtrusive and were there if needed. We would gladly stay there again.

入住真实情况

1、房间里到外是蚂蚁，床上也有蚂蚁。2、道路陡峭，急转弯，开车到达不安全。3、空调制冷效果差。4、需要步行走楼梯，不方便行李箱移动。5、门锁简易，老旧，松动，不能锁定，我每次出门都要随身携带贵重物品。6、房东说差评会坐牢。总体感觉不舒服，房价偏贵，合同强制，不允许提前退房。

Nice getaway

I was attending a wedding in Saratoga Springs and it was the perfect location. The host was very responsive and the setting was wonderful. It was a beautiful location in the mountains. The only negative was there was a line of ants on the property near one of the beds that we had to avoid. They were not a major issue though.

Traveled with pets, Traveled with family
We were sent a rental agreement for half the price posted and charged. Sofa broke our backs. Steep area for dog difficult to access. People were walking past our area for no reason. Not really well equipped kitchen. The stairs were 10 inches steep! Nice neighborhood but the promised street parking was taken by abandoned vehicles. Too pricey for the place.
