Beautiful apartment
A really great place to stay! Quiet and private but close to all the places you want to go. The view over the river is fantastic!A good size for 4 guests and well maintained with all the facilities you need. The grocery store is just a couple of minutes away.
Easy checkin, clean unit, description and pics of the listing are accurate. Close to grocery, restaurant and local activities. Morning and evening views of the river were lovely. Hope to stay again.
Great stay for our family of 3. The house had everything we needed. And the location was ideal for us: nestled at the confluence of the Hudson and the Mohawk Rivers so you can watch the, kayaks, pleasure boats, and barges sail by. The town of Waterford is quaint, with lots of good restaurant options. The neighborhood was peaceful and everyone we met was very friendly. Plus the home is in good proximity to Albany and Troy so that you can visit both easily but return to a peaceful location for down time. Thanks Tino for a great stay!
Selected property for location and views. Very well furnished, owner provided 2 table lights on request. Air conditioning worked very well. Lovely relaxing views. Great communication. Only con, it’s a 3 floor walk up so you must be comfortable with 32 steps.

The most amazing apartment!
A beautiful place to stay, amazing views and a well maintained, gorgeous apartment. The views from the kitchen and both balconies are amazing. I have stayed her 8 times now when I visit my fiancée in Upstate New York and this has become our home-from-home! Tino is a wonderful host, happy to provide information as required and always a great guy to chat to.I would highly recommend this property - centrally located, well stocked and ideal for exploring the many beautiful location within easy travel distance. Other have mentioned the stairs... it's two flights, nothing more - and well worth the great views over the river!
