We had a wonderful stay! Decor is funky, artistic. Rooms are nicer and more spacious than in the photos. Tom was very responsive.

Beautifully renovated historic building, with great amenities - the heated pool was especially awesome! The house is very large and perfect for larger groups or multiple couples. Thomas was a great host, and dinner in his restaurant was amazing as well. I would highly suggest this house to anyone visiting Albany!

Thomas was a fine host and our stay was fine but we were unhappy with some of the decorations which we found at odds with our Christian values.
