Great house. Beautiful location. Lots of space.
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.

Quiet old house
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.

Nice location, house needs work
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!?

Roomy Cape in Quiet yet Conveniently Located Area
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.

Roomy Cape
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.

Get what you pay for
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!

More good than not
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.

Convenient Location
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.
