Brooklyn comes to Albany

I came to Albany from an event at The Egg. It took me a while to figure out the check-in process. But once inside, I wished to book this property for a longer stay. There's a nice restaurant around the corner and a bar down the block. This is a good spot for walking to downtown Albany.

Short but sweet stay!

The stay was short but sweet! Everything was clean and exactly what we needed as a stopover stay on our way to another destination. The only snafu was the emailed instructions said to check the lockbox for a key and there was no key (Linda had switched to an electronic keypad and we just had not realized!). Linda was quick to speak with us over the phone about this and the matter was resolved in under 5 minutes. Would stay here again!

There was coffee but no creamer. We left a quart of half and half in the frig. No bath soap. Dirty shower rug. Close to The Egg. Nice location. Neighborhood a bit sketchy but ok.

Lovely apt! Close to downtown

It was clean and fully stocked and updated! The neighborhood is a little rundown, I wouldnt walk around it at night (as a non minority woman), but I felt plenty safe the entire time. I would definitely stay there again.

This place was gross. It reeked of cigarette smoke. There were splatters of substances all over the walls in the bedroom and bathroom. Little black hairs were everywhere, including the faucet. Stained bath mats. The entry code to the shared front door was the same as the door to the apartment which didn’t feel particularly safe. The front door to the apartment had plexiglass windows which also felt unsafe. Neighbors were yelling in front of the house until 1 am on one night of my 3 night stay. Would not recommend at all.

Unique place to stay

You get your steps in - the bedroom, bathroom, and only TV are upstairs the spiral staircase - but the two floor setup is pretty cool if you don't have mobility issues. The kitchen was fantastic with great stove/oven - and allowed me to cook for others. Communications could be better - but the apartment was very clean and the bathroom very nice. I would have no problem in repeating an extended stay where a kitchen is important (feel like it is wasted if you don't cook)

The host never responded to my request for an early check in but other than that, communication back and forth was fine. When we arrived, the cleanliness of the apartment was NOT up to standard but this was a situation that the host helped resolve during our stay. We were content with the solution but initially super frustrated. Definitely not our best experience but the unit was nice. I will say however that this isn’t the place for anyone who has issues walking up and down stairs frequently or mobility issues in general.

Questionable Location

The location for this property is a huge drawback. When we arrived there was a section of the road very nearby cordoned off for police activity for several hours. We did not feel comfortable walking around at all or parking our car. We left first thing in the morning before 7am. Hopefully the neighborhood is on an upswing but it's not close to acceptable yet. A small issue with cleanliness of the bathmat. Overall not an enjoyable stay.
