I enjoyed the stay with Gregory very much. He is a very friendly and communicative host. We had nice talks and I got a lot of information about the parks and nature around and about Albony. Maps and broshures were provided. The rooms are very beautiful and clean. I could use the kitchen and the sitting room and had my own bathroom. I highly recommand Gregory's home. A beautiful area for friends of nature and a good starting point to Albany.

Gregory was a great host and the house is lovely. We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed the location and opportunity to see the area. Very short walk to nearby lake and park and the Indian ladder trail. Fresh veggies for sale next door and easy drive to Albany or nearby towns. House spotless and appreciated the use of the kitchen. Wifi available and ensuite attached to bedroom.

Gregory, Melanie and Paul were very kind to me -- I enjoyed our chats! The room was clean and comfortable. The house is in a lovely rural setting, close to an amazing State Park. I'd love to go back when the weather is more conducive to picnics and outdoor play. An easy half hour drive to downtown Albany.

Melanie and Paul were very kind! Their place was a perfect distance from many hiking trails. They were also very helpful with their recommendations about where to dine and what to see.

Gregory was a fantastic host! He personally greeted us even though we arrived close to midnight. The room was spotless, included complimentary toiletries, and the bed was nice and comfy to boot! Gregory had clearly printed out house instructions and recommendations for a few local spots to eat. We definitely recommend staying at his place if you're looking for a pristine room in a beautiful country setting!

We saw more of Gregory's parents, Melanie and Paul, than of Gregory, who was busy working. But that was OK, because they were our age group, and we had similar interests, They we're great hosts. If you want a place to really relax and get away, then the Pond House is for you. You'll come away refreshed and full of knowledge about the local area, flora and fauna. We loved it.

What a great place! While this is a little off the beaten path, it's definitely worth the trip. Clean, neat, spectacular location very near a state park with incredible vistas, it's quiet and very comfortable. Gregory is a very gracious host and good conversationalist. You also have a private bathroom. You WILL be impressed with the house and its surroundings. Very quiet at night, first-floor accommodations, and an amazing "great room" to work, read, or relax in. Much more than I expected.

Our stay was very short (only ~12 hours) but it was great. We checked in late but Paul and Melanie made the process easy and smooth. The room is exactly as described and the view of the pond from the deck is gorgeous. A great stay...thank you!

Great place to stay! We felt right at home!

Our stay at Noreen's was wonderful! Her home is lovely--peaceful, relaxing, & impeccably clean. It's set back from a quiet road, with lots of flowers & plantings. Noreen was terrific: warm, easy-going, helpful, and friendly, while still giving you plenty of space. Breakfast was do-it-yourself, with lots of yummy and healthy options to choose from. Noreen left us a number of other thoughtful touches as well that were above and beyond. Her dog, Sullivan (a Goldendoodle), was fun. He loved getting attention from guests, but he was calm and not in your face about it...a real sweetheart. If you get the chance to stay with Noreen, don't pass it up. She's a gem! This is one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in.

Don’t miss staying at Noreen’s! This was my 2nd time, and it was wonderful again. Her beautifully furnished home is very comfortable, extremely clean, & has lovely views. Noreen is fun & interesting to talk to, but she also makes it easy to do your own thing. Breakfasts are generous, healthy, & delicious. We also enjoyed her lovely yard & pool. Looking forward to our next stay!

Noreen's place was fabulous! you have to stay here. it is everything you would want in a place to stay. comfortable bed and bathroom. good food, coffee and space to hang in. the views are beautiful, her gardens are perfect and her presence is very, very nice and accommodating. she is there or leaves you be. can't ask for more. thanks Noreen!! you are a inspiration.

Noreen's house is just the greatest...and more. This is the second time I've been there, and I will return and return until she is sick of me : ). The set up is perfect and the hospitality can't be beat. You would never regret choosing her home to stay and personally, I would make her house a destination. Thank You Noreen and Meghan....

JoAnn was very friendly and we had a great chat! She did a great job communicating and the room was as I expected from the pictures and description. Nice place to stay and I'd definitely recommend.

Although we didn't get the opportunity to actually meet JoAnn, she was very welcoming in her emails/texts and the space was as described - cozy and clean.

JoAnn is very friendly and offers a nice place to stay for the night.

Enjoyed my stay at JoAnn's place! Her little dog is adorable.

JoAnn's place was exactly as advertised and what other guests had said. JoAnn is super nice and her place was great and super convienent. Her little dog was really friendly and playful. JoAnn was also flexible on my late arrival and later check-out! Thanks JoAnn!

Amazing stay, she let us come late at night as we didn't planned much our trip. We really enjoyed our stay, it was clean and she was so welcoming and friendly the day after. Her small little dog Frida was also great too, soo friendly always wants to get pet. Thank you for everything I really recommend her if you happen to be in the area and need a place to stay she is the one ;)

I got in much later than anticipated and JoAnn was very gracious about it. The home was welcoming, the bed was comfortable, and her little dog is possibly the greatest dog I have ever met.

JoAnn is a kind and gracious host!

Aaron's place is magical, pictures don't do it justice. Aaron was great at communication and gave us a thorough introduction to the house and amazing amenities. Would defintiely recommend this place for the future.

Stephanie is a welcoming and friendly host. The room was clean and as described. She was flexible with my early check in needs. I would return again.

This is a very cozy room. Better than expected, and a great host! Plus they made me coffee and pancakes in the morning.

Cool little house about a 5 min drive from downtown. Perfect for a couple. We just stayed a few nights for a concert at Proctors, and it served our needs. Joe was easy to work with too.

Good location in town, very walkable. Joe was a great host; I came into town by bus and he even picked me up at the bus station!

joe is vert friendly host, greet us in a very plaisant way! He explain to us where to go for drink and food around the cité. Joe have 2 big dogs so cute and friendly! When you get in dont be scared by the dolls, Joe works in the movie industry thats why he have so much weird stuff, its like a little museum!! Perfect

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great hospitality!I highly recommend. Rosa's place was comfortable, accommodating and peaceful. Thank you for a great experience.

Had a lovely 4 night stay, wonderful peaceful atmosphere.

Rosa is very welcome and polite, had a great stay with her thanks Rosa

Rosa's place was great. She even provided a separate key to facilitate my off hours schedule. Thank you.

Everything was excellent

Our stay was comfortable and we felt very safe. Aurora was helpful in giving directions to many great area restaurants. Private parking for our car. Convenient to the local bus stop to downtown Schenectady.

Our host made us feel very welcome, explained all the house rules thoroughly, and provided excellent neighborhood insight. Everything met our expectations.

Basic tidiness and house rules, all the things you need for any length of stay. Aurora is a nice lady.

I felt like being home in this apartment, clean, quiet, it has everything you need blocks around like restaurants, supermarket, public transportation. Best of all is Aurora and her attentions. I recommend this location for long stays (spent almost 2 weeks in my trip here).

Thanks for letting us stay with you.

Everything was great! Very friendly and kind. Definitely will stay here again in the future.

The host canceled this reservation 95 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Frank and Deanna were so kind. Great helps to make the reservation and guidance to find and get the location. Although our late arriving, Frank showed up and helped many things including parking. Super clean, everything organized well, really enjoyed our staying. Hope to come back again !!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Frank and Deanna's spacious downtown apartment. The apartment was thoughtfully furnished with useful items like soap/shampoo/conditioner dispenser in the shower, a luggage rack by the bed, and a keurig coffee machine. The the bed and couch were both very comfortable and the baseboard heaters kept the apartment nice and warm. Frank and Deanna were very helpful and communicated well. They saved us a parking spot, gave us a tour of the apartment, and suggested a few local restaurants. The location is perfect for walking to the Proctor theater and many good bars and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back if we are in the area!

We had such a wonderful time staying at Donna's apartment. It was beautiful and very roomy. Donna was such a gracious host, suggesting local cafes and answering any questions we had. The area is full of history and we enjoyed learning more about it.

Donna was exceptionally attentive in her communications. We experienced a delay on our arrival and she made sure everything was ready for us. The apartment is delightful and located in an amazing historic district within walking distance of a variety of great food & drink. The famous Stockade Inn is just across the street and the neighborhood is a collection of amazing (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) homes. The historic Reformed Church is spectacular. Don't miss Little Italy about 10 minute walk away for Perreca's Restaurant & Bakery (breathtakingly delicious bread!) and Civitella's pastries across the street.

If you're looking for a home away from home, look no further! Donna is an amazing host and owner of this lovely two family home. She is so very warm, welcoming and friendly. Her home is pristine, with large windows and beautiful high ceilings. The spacious flat has plenty of charm and character. We felt very much at home as soon as we walked in! All the amenities you might need are provided and then some! Location is in the quaint and historic Stockade district.

Donna was very helpful from the very beginning. I was there on business and my wife came up for the weekend. Donna directed us to a wonderful bar and then a terrific restaurant. She definitely knows the area and responded very quickly to any questions we had. The apartment was over and above the description. Very comfortable and well equipped. It will be the first place I look when in the area again.

The apartment is amazing! I highly recommend it!

Well located. Large, comfortable with all necessities. Would stay there again

Fantastic stay! The apartment is great. Large living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom. The neighborhood is one of the oldest inhabited neighborhood in the country. Interesting architecture abounds. We walked around the area and felt very safe. Donna was very welcoming and pleasant. We would definitely stay here again.

Great apartment, amazing energy. The neighborhood reminded me of living in Old City Philadelphia; quaint, yet funky. Donna was an excellent host, and her two cats were great company!

Chris and Donna were wonderful hosts! I stayed with them for 1 week. They are very friendly, caring, and just great. Their home is a beautiful historic brownstone with a wonderful backyard garden to sit in and enjoy a glass of wine on a warm night. I stayed in the Nautical room and loved it. The interior design was lovely, Donna is also a great designer. My room was spacious and very comfy. The house is also in perfect walking distance to everything in the Downtown area, Proctors Theater, the River, Amtrak Station, Jay street. If I'm back in Schnectady I will definitely stay with Donna and Chris again.

The house is lovely, in a very good central location. The queen size bed is comfortable in such a charming room. Donna and Chris are friendly, helpful and nice. Enjoyed the stay and looking forward to going back!

I needed an extremely last minute booking late at night and Chris and Donna came to the rescue. Their home is beautiful and you can tell they spent time in making it so. There were other visitors staying with them but I couldn't tell as I didn't hear anyone at all. I only knew because they let me know when I arrived. The wifi was fast and they even have coffee for you to drink in the morning. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

I felt like I was visiting friends. Chris and Donna were terrific hosts. I had privacy when I needed it, and opportunities to visit with them and other guests when I didn't. I have to return to Schenectady later for my degree, and I cannot wait to stay with them again.

Our stay was perfect. The house and neighbourhood was beautiful, and the room was spectacular. So wonderfully decorated and comfortable. Corresponding with them was quick and friendly and even though we arrived later than expected, they were totally accommodating and flexible. Highly recommend this place!

We highly recommend Chris and Donna'a home in the beautiful Stockade area of Schenectady. This was my first trip home in 18 years and it couldn't have been better. We were warmly welcomed and had everything we needed. The rooms are beautifully designed, clean and airy (each is so unique) and we slept soundly each night. The shared bathroom was large and clean and gorgeous. We also loved being greeted by Jeffrey the cat when we came home- bonus! There was fresh coffee at our disposal just out the room which made the mornings even better. We will be back at a future visit. Thank you so much!

Chris and Donna were very warm and friendly. They were fantastic hosts. They were flexible when I was coming late into town. The room was beautiful. And it is great to see people putting time and effort in restoring a historic home. If you like a historic vintage feel, this is the place is for you. It was exactly what was described.

The owners are very nice folks. My room looked just like the ad. It is at the top of two steep flights of stairs it that is an issue for anyone. The place is a work in progress. It will be nicer when the living room is finished. Cute funky garden in the back. Great little bathroom on the third floor and I could make my coffee in the hall upstairs in the morning without even coming downstairs. Comfortable bed. Spacious room.

We had a great experience staying at Mina's place! Mina is a great host and we enjoyed chatting with her.She made us feel right at home and even had cookies and muffins waiting for us upon arrival. The accommodations were just what we needed and are very conveniently located. We definitely recommend a stay at Mina's!

I stayed with Mina for 3 months. I was on assignment in Albany as a travel nurse and needed a place to feel comfortable for 3-4 days out of the week while I was working night shifts. Mina opened her doors to me and made me feel welcome right from the get-go. I feel like I'll be coming away from this experience with a new friend. I'll miss the Peruvian coffee the most, lol. If I ever find myself heading back up to upstate NY, I'll definitely get in touch. Thank you so very much for your hospitality. Ps. Give Frodo a treat for me. ;)

Excellent as always. Thanks again Mina! :)

I really enjoyed staying at Mina's, she was friendly, attentive, helpful and very welcoming. She has a beautiful, warm cozy home, and she truly helps you to make it feel like your own! A(+)wesome

Mina welcomed me on arrival, gave me a key and showed me to my room and the adjacent bathroom. All these facilities were just fine in a nicely kept house. I also met her elderly pug who she kept in a separate room until we all realized I am a dog person and enjoyed the dog, too. I came and went as I please, had some great French Press coffee in the morning with fruit salad and yogurt. Filled my water bottle with her cooled, bottled water. Slept soundly and awoke refreshed. A great location for the Altamont Fairgrounds. I'll be back next year.

Mina's house is a great place to stay especially for long business trips! She is very welcoming and friendly and very quick to respond to anything that comes up. Very clean and quiet accommodations and a really convenient location. Not only will I recommend her location to friends and family but I hope to stay here again myself! Thanks Mina :)

I enjoyed my stay with Mina. I stayed here for 4 weeks and everything is as advertised. She keeps a clean home and a warm-spirit. She was quick to remedy any concerns and I would stay here again if I'm ever back in the area!

Mina made a weekend I had looked forward to for over a year even better than I was expecting! I'd asked to stay in Schenectady because I was attending a weekend-long series of concerts by Phish and so I was expecting a quiet, nice place to stay after exploring the area and enjoying the shows. Mina met those expectations and more! Her house is gorgeous and the area is beautiful. I was surprised and delighted by her hospitality and looked forward to talking with her every morning as Frodo, her dog, eyed our breakfast and begged for treats. Mina is a perfect host, great conversationalist, and shining person. She made a trip that was already highly anticipated into something unforgettable.
