Cozy, comfortable place!

We had a terrific time here. The unit is like a superbly appointed little yacht. We had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable bed and chairs, lights everywhere, towels galore and very nice owners. We did not meet Greg but Blanca (who was warm and funny and personable) gave us the complete tour and Greg responded to all texts and emails. Gorgeous back yard. Palm trees, beautiful tile work everywhere. A very nice place to sit at dusk with a glass of wine. Even an elaborate pizza oven. Cheers!

a too short stay in Albany

We very much appreciated the cozy apartment that Greg and Blanca provided us. All was very clean and comfortable. The bed was super comfortable! Although we did not use the outside grounds, the outdoor pizza oven and grill truly impressed me! I would have liked to make some dough and pull together some tasty toppings for an authentic brick oven. Thanks so much for all the hard work it takes to create and maintain such a lovely place.

As Good as Described

My husband and I just finished our third visit at Gregory and Bianca's lovely and distinctive space. It is a small space ingeniously and thoughtfully executed with a very comfortable bed, lovely big shower and tub, a small desk and provisions for refrigerating and heating very simple meals. The yard is lovely and the neighborhood safe, attractive and very walkable. It is the perfect spot for us to stay then visiting our grandchildren.
