Our trip was built around seeing family in the area. We did not need outdoor space or fancy accommodations. It was clean and comfortable!! ##### Angela A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael G. 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place Property was in good shape, though I recommend the owner consider refinishing the tub, the current paint job is not so good. The location is too far from downtown Troy to easily walk but is an easy drive. The building has multiple units and finding the right one was a bit tricky, but the place was clean and well-kept overall and parking was easy, I would stay again. ##### Michael G. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anne N. 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Not what I expected Positives- owner lives onsite and was responsive. The property was clean. My overall opinion- the location was tricky to find. More descriptors would be helpful. I want to be both respectful and honest- as someone from out of town and not familiar with the neighborhood I did not feel safe. There was even a large dog barking in the adjacent yard complete with its owner yelling at it. This was not a vacation rental. It was barely acceptable for a get away. I was dropping off a kid to college and the quality of this property ruined my last night with her. I had he stay with her dad at a hotel because it felt sketchy. Maybe for the right group good enough would be fine. I expected more from a vacation rental organization. Hotel for me next visit. ##### Anne N.

There was a lot of space for our family to spend time together. It was only a few minutes from campus and quite affordable.We had a bit of trouble reaching our host before the visit, partly delays from VRBO’s side, but nothing very serious. The unit was a tad shabby but didn’t feel dirty. ##### Juan C.
