Pristine Cape Cod on the Creek - 4 Quartos - 8 Convidados!

The house was what we needed for 8 adults to stay, but I think pristine is well overstating it. The floors were dirty, there were cobwebs, light bulb out, bathroom painting was not finished, things were not folded well and put into places and much of furniture in it is old and used. Also the creek and steps down to it are overgrown and you can't really see it from the deck. Having said that the location is nice, central and quiet.

For 5 guys the house was perfect half hour to Saratoga 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms quiet neighborhood and the host (Chris) was very accommodating and let us drop are bags off 2 hours early we would definitely stay again if available

Some issues such as missing remote so could not watch tv, but the owner did try to resolve and was responsive. Host did try to do everything to resolve any issues, but minor issues here and there that prevented things from being perfect. Host was very responsive, so grateful for communication.

Host was responsive and agreed to address various issues and concerns regarding the property and make improvement for future renters. Overall, rooms were spacious, beds were comfortable, enjoyed deck with balcony and forest views and quiet neighborhood setting.

House is spacious with off street parking.

The stairs inside squeak something awful, stairs out side are grown over, tiles in kitchen and both bathroom s are loose, dangerous! Never been to a place with so many signs!!! The washer had a dirty towel in it and the dryer was full of towels I ended up folding. Sign on the washer discouraged us from doing anything but a small load and even read the we should go to the laundry mat. Part of the amenities and a reason I choose this one was a washer and dryer!?

It's hard to review a basic rental in Albany, NY. It's not a tourist destination, and there are not a lot of available rentals. There were a few problems that I will discuss first. The automatic door lock would unlock but would not lock. I had to call the owner who had to tell me how to access a secret key. Then the tv wouldn't work properly, and since there was a big sign on the wall telling me not to change the source, I had to call again. It was set to tv and it needed to be on hdmi2. I could have done that myself, but the sign said not to! And there were practically no channels available--I had never before heard of such a bare bones cable package. Magazines in the bin were from 2016-2018, as was the phone book. Yes, the phone book. Lastly, the owner has clearly had problems with renters in the past. There were well over 20 posted signs in the house ranging from don't smoke ($5000 fine!) to don't lean on the handrail. Enough complaints. The house inside was lovely. 4 large bedrooms. Very generous closet space. Very nice kitchen and living area. The fridge had an automatic ice maker. Central a/c worked beautifully. Beds comfy, nice linens and towels. The overall quality of the house is high. Considering the size, 8 people could stay here quite comfortably. I would think that for the price you get a whole lot. The positives clearly outweigh the not positives.

Very large house with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths along with laundry facilities. Off street parking. Very enjoyable back deck. Convenient location to university of Albany. Older home so difficult to call pristine. But for the low price point very worthwhile and a pleasant place to stay.

I will begin by saying we were looking for an inexpensive place to stay when coming in for a memorial service. We got what we paid for-low price and three bedrooms, but the other reviews were spot on in a lot of areas. It was close to town which was nice. Quiet area, and it was on a creek, I think. Across from the college, and I think would be perfect for a young group coming in for a game. For us personally, I think some updating and cleaning would go a long way. Leftovers were left in the microwave from sometime. Garbage cans full and sitting at the street. We did communicate downstairs shower was clogged, and feel certain that will be taken care of for next guests. The bed was comfortable! So that was a plus. Had extra sheets but couldn’t find extra pillow cases. The closet doors were coming out of track and couldn’t sit on back porch because of over growth and mold. The ice maker worked well and glad they had an iron and ironing board. Signs everywhere-I mean everywhere! But I am sure it’s better to have signs than assume people have the sense not to do specific things!! But, feel it could be done with a little more taste. Contact responded in fairly timely manner each time. I did receive sign in stuff a few hours before arrival-but coming in from states away was a little concerned on the delay. But no problems getting in. Like I said, no cutting remarks, or slamming the place-I as a tenant just like details before arrival-so here to help those coming after me if I can!

The property is conveniently located to major highways and SUNY Albany. The creek was not accessible during our stay. This was disappointing for our family. Having lived in New York for 20 years, I understand that the DEC often controls an owner's ability to trim vegetation. The inaccessibility should have been addressed in the listing. The house was ok but there were some housekeeping issues.

Roomy inexpensive getaway house. However, there were a couple of drawbacks: there needs to be more linens (no washcloths), bedding needs to be updated. Crib frame was broke and bed in the same room sagged in the middle (probably frame was broke). Also, it could have been a little cleaner.

Great place clean and quiet

Plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, pots & pans, linens and towels. Bring your own washcloths.

Very accommodating, huge property & clean.

The home is very spacious and having 2 bathrooms a plus. Only thing minor is grass not mowed and some extreme cleaning rules but that didn’t affect us from enjoying the home. Would stay again with family if up in New York again. Chris was very helpful with the getting in process.

We enjoyed our stay in this roomy Cape in late October. The three and 5-year-old grandchildren loved the toys kept upstairs in a small bedroom with a child-sized bed. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, coffee, etc. Our host was very responsive, friendly, and helpful with some issues/questions. I feel that the sheets and towels need updating, and a couple of maintenance issues need to be addressed.

Had a great stay. Only concern was the 5th bed was maybe 4 feet long. I understood smaller bed in the description to mean cot size, but not toddler size. Ended up with a blow up mattress and had a great stay with 5 adult men. Creek was beautiful to see in winter. Great spot, great access to Albany and plenty of places to eat.

The house is quiet and clean, is in a quiet residential neighborhood and was close to where we needed to be. It’s spacious and the owner was very responsive when I messaged him with questions. But it’s a very old house that is drafty and dark and has very old furnishings.

Thank you for your hospitality. The home was spacious and fit our needs perfectly.

Needed a place for 8, primarily to sleep and shower as full days while in Albany. Place fit the bill.

Although 25 minutes from Saratoga Race Track - this location is perfect for a group of race track buddies! Plenty of sleeping areas and the home is located in a quiet neighborhood!

Nice home plenty of room great host will be back

Nice house, good location. Much bigger inside than it looks! The house worked well for us with handicap needs, other than the small step into the house.
