The unit was clean and accommodating. The sitting room off of the master bedroom was so awesome with the swing chair. The owner was very responsive every time we texted her, and was lovely to deal with. This is a one-story walk-up with a lot of stairs. It appeared to us to be on the border of the central business portion of Albany and a not so great neighborhood. However, we had no issues and was a perfect place to stay for an extended weekend.

I arrived to the apt and did what the instructions said by going to the lockbox. The code didn’t. I tried many different ways for a half hr. I contacted the host via text through the app explaining that the code was not working. After waiting 15mins i received a response stating are you putting in the right code. I told the host numerous time i was putting the code she gave. It's been a total of 45 mins and she still never offered another way in the apt nor a way to get the lockbox open. I told her i was going to report this. She called immediately and when she called she was laughing and so were her guest in the background about the whole situation. I had to book a hotel that night because she didn't try to help other than stating the code works. Not a good host. I would not recommend.
