Had a great weekend. This place was so freakin adorable. Was quiet and the location was close to everything but far enough away to be able to have some peace. Will be staying here again.

This apartment was adorable, clean, and communication with the owner was easy and efficient. We wish we would’ve had more time to enjoy the space, but will definitely book again when traveling back to Saratoga Springs. 10/10.

Enjoyed the Roost

Spent a weekend at the Roost with family. We were a group of 4 adults and had plenty of room to unwind and relax after a day in Saratoga. The unit was charming and exactly as advertised. Kitchen was well stocked. Quiet and friendly community. Host responded promptly to communication. We had dinner at the End Zone and breakfast at the Ugly Rooster Cafe, both provided great food and service.

Staying at the roost

The roost is really cool! Lots or resemblance to an old diner which makes it very unique but fun. It was nice to stay with a friend. Large bathroom and lots of room to sleep a couple people. Would recommend for a trip with friends.

Good stay at the Roost

My family of 4 (kids 4 and 2) enjoyed our stay at the Roost. Check-in and check-out was fine. Be aware you will be staying underneath tenants on the top floor. We didn't seem them at all, and they weren't loud, but they were there. The place is cool though and was a great jumping off point for our upstate weekend.

The cockadoodledoo of it

This space is as noted and just a sweet spot! We appreciated the acoustic nature of the room as we played and recorded some music . Our main attraction was Hozier at SPAC and this was a great place to land after the show! Thank you helping with the chemical smell I do recommend unscented laundry soap and more natural cleaning projects!

Super fun!

You’re in a very nice town, neighbors were also cordial. The area is fairly quiet, but you’re close to a lot of things! There’s a small shopping center, gas stations, restaurants in the town. But you’re only 25 minutes from the big Crossgates mall! Host was very kind and helpful! We had a great stay, my friends didn’t know where we were staying until we got there they LOVED the decor! Definitely will stay again in the future!

Great Property Cool Story

This was a super smooth experience. Professional at the same time personal. We asked where the toaster might be located. 1/2 hour later a wonderful lady knocked on the door and left a toaster. Priced fairly. Run professionally. I would have loved to stop by the owners Restaurant or Ice Cream Stand. May a little coupon next time to promote your other operations. We will RETURN!

Delightful space, but inconsiderate upstairs neighbors

I would have easily given this a 5-star rating based on the space itself. Extremely clean and comfortable with all the classic mementos of its space as a former diner. Unfortunately, the occupants of the space above were walking loudly and thumping until just past midnight during our first two nights. It sounded as if they were moving furniture. The host wasn't responsive during the evenings so there was no recourse but to endure it. Additionally, the space is on a street corner, and we were wakened early by trucks stopping and accelerating at the stoplight. In short, a great place marred by outside elements.

Poor Management

On-site parking was full upon arrival, and there was a smoke detector going off in the basement, which was locked up/inaccessible to us. Management had multiple different phone numbers, which we had to repeatedly call over the span of hours until they finally responded and sent someone at 9PM. My toddler hardly got any sleep.
