The space
Welcome to your spacious, amenity-packed retreat —perfect for families, professionals, or friends traveling together.
Conveniently located near shopping malls, grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, colleges, parks, the MVP arena, and downtown Albany, this home offers both convenience and comfort in one smart package.
This is one entire private unit, on the first floor and basement, within a 2-family home. You'll have your own private entrance, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, basement with laundry, driveway, and backyard. The upstairs unit is separately occupied by a long-term tenant. The layout, amenities, and feel make it an ideal space for guests who want peace and privacy with the bonus of a safe, residential neighborhood.
Unwind with endless entertainment options: stream your favorite shows and movies with Netflix, Max, Disney+, Apple TV, and more on the 75” Smart TV—or head outside for an unforgettable movie night under the stars on the 120” projector screen, complete with a heated firepit table and a feast fresh off the Pit Boss pellet smoker smart grill.
Stay productive with a dedicated work area featuring high-speed 600MB internet, a printer, and a paper shredder.
The fully stocked kitchen is ready for anything with a coffee maker, NutriBullet, slow cooker, waffle maker, food processor, and more.
The home comfortably sleeps guests across 4 beds (1 queen, 2 fulls, 1 twin), including a twin-over-full bunk bed in one bedroom. Each room features a mini-split AC unit for personalized climate control.
Enjoy the newly updated master bathroom with a bidet. We also include a few thoughtful extras like a hair dryer, straightener, and curler, some basic office supplies, an iron and ironing board, and fresh linens. In your basement, you'll find an elliptical, some dumbbells and a couple other pieces of fitness equipment along with a washer and dryer.
Outside, your private, fenced backyard oasis awaits—with a children’s playset (swings, slide, and climbing wall).
Driveway parking for up to 4 cars is included.
Your ideal stay awaits—modern, relaxing, and perfectly located.
*A baby changing table and a double stroller are available upon request for your convenience during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Liza Powell

Hello! I’m an Albany (aka Smalbany) native & host just a few houses down from where I grew up—this neighborhood is full of memories & means a lot to me. Albany’s given me so much, so I try to pay it forward by volunteering w. a few local nonprofits that target inner-city kids, while also working in the public health field.
Although I've always lived in Albany, I love exploring new places & learning about different locations' cultures & history.
