• We didn’t stay!

  1/5

  On 4/6, we arrived with confirmation in hand, but our code didn’t work. I called the homeowner, and he wasn’t expecting any renters until 4/13. We were given a working code to the key box, but there was no key. After waiting in our car, someone brought 1 key for 7 people to share. The house was unclean, the tubs had rust stains, and there was a stale odor. We left the property, checked into a hotel and called Evolve (3rd party company used by the homeowner) to let them know and ask for a refund but were told that doesn’t usually happen for cleanliness issues. We were supposed to give the homeowner a chance to rectify the issue. Our weekend was packed with activities; we did not have time to waste. We ended up losing our money and paying for 4 nights of hotel rooms!

• Had a blast! Felt like home.

  5/5

  This was an amazing visit. We all had plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The kitchen was stocked with whatever I needed to cook with. All appliances available. Beds were comfy and clean. House was immaculate. We all felt safe. Will definitely be back!!

• Great Space, Wonderful House, Great Host!!!

  5/5

  This was my best stay in Albany! I love going to Albany to visit my mom. However, now I have 5 grandchildren. Too many to stay with my mom in her home. In this house - we all had our own space, our own bed, our own place to sit. The kids had room to stretch out. The hosts were wonderful! The customer service was top notch. This house is beautiful. Now it is an old house - takes a lot to heat up and I am sure in the summer it will take a lot to cool off. But once it is set - oh comfy land. The beds were so comfortable. Both kitchens were fully stocked. We really enjoyed ourselves. Will be back in a couple of months. Hope to book with this host again!

• Great Stay

  5/5

  The house was perfect for what I was looking for. It is very spacious and filled with character. It’s a great value and is by far the nicest place I have stayed at in Albany, hotels included. It is located very close to the hospital and I felt completely safe. We will definitely return.

• False advertising - super sketchy area of town!

  1/5

  This house sits between a free clinic and a shady gas station! Lots of homeless folks walking around the area. You only find that out once you actually book the place and then it's too late and they won't cancel your reservation! I am a single woman and there's absolutely NO WAY I would EVER stay in a shady place like this. This is not the cute residential neighborhood it's advertised on VRBO. It's a dangerous part of Albany, GA. Check google for the crime rates in that neighborhood!

  Manager's Response:

  Owners response: "Jena, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you.
  You didn't even give us a chance and didn't set foot on the property and to state that it felt unsafe is a fabrication of the truth. This home is in a historic district and in an area that is primarily a business district. We are about 1/2 a block from the hospital but we have never had a lot of foot traffic, there is traffic on the main road but when the sun goes down the neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. There is a doctor's office on one side and the gas station is on the other side of the doctor's office.
  Like most businesses, they have hours of operation and when they close so does the traffic. The property is fenced in for our safety as well as that of our guests and we have security cameras on the exterior of the home. We lived in the home and we never experienced anything unsafe. We have had plenty of guests who have been happy with our home and have given us 5-star reviews and their safety was never an issue. I'm sorry you felt it necessary to stop payment and to give us an unfair review.
  We truly go above and beyond for our guests and are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!"
