Albany overnight

Close to downtown and local colleges. Host was quick to answer when we had a couple of questions.

Easy

My family stays at a lot of VRBOs and I have never had a host as accommodating and patient as Antonio. He was quick to respond and even came to the VRBO when I locked myself out.

Not great

Sorry, but while the property was spotless, everything was drab and shabby. Needs a major sprucing up and facelift. Run down, old and faded. Towels from this millenia would have been nice. Very disappointing.

We were unimpressed with our stay at The Bluebird’s Nest. Outside of quick responsiveness for WiFi details, the experience wasn’t good. The apartment felt lived in with food in the refrigerator and dirty dishes in the dishwasher. There was garbage piled up under the stairs to the front door, electrical boxes with exposed wires and cracks around the tub. The beds and bedding were very uncomfortable (hard, hot and noisy). We would not stay again.

Alles in allem absolut in Ordnung

An der Unterkunft gibt es sicher ein paar Kleinigkeiten die man auf Vordermann bringen kann, an sich ist es aber gemütlich und passt gut in sie Umgebung. Der Kontakt mit dem Gastgeber war sehr schnell und freundlich. Wir haben unseren kleinen aber feinen Aufenthalt genossen und würden auch wiederkommen.
