Bars/restaurants within walking distance. Lark Street is less than a mile up Madison Ave. Pearl Street is about a mile away. 5 minute drive to bus terminal/train station. Parking is on street (and generally easy to find a spot) however we do have a covered parking spot for a small vehicle, if required. CDTA busses run nearby and can bring you anywhere local. I have no familiarity with the bus schedules or routes, but you can find this information on the CDTA website. TU Center is about 10 min walk Palace Theatre 15-20 min walk Lark street 10-15 min walk Concourse/Capitol/legislative building/justice building 5-10 min walk State museum 5 min walk We do charge a cleaning fee of $10 per stay for guests staying 2 nights. Guests staying 3 or more nights, the fee will be $15 per stay. This amount will be added as a special offer after you request to book. We do have the apartment professionally cleaned. We are also legally required to charge sales tax (8.75%) and local occupancy tax (6%). The taxes compute to $10 per night. This amount is included in the $85 per night. IMPORTANT: PARKING -- Parking is street parking. We live downtown in a city. I cannot guarantee parking. I cannot tell you where you will find a spot. While parking is generally fine (you will find a spot within one block), Sunday and Monday nights can be tough if you get here after 8 or so due to parking restrictions. It is not impossible to find a spot, but it is more difficult. The streets are very well marked with signs. Please do not ask me where to park. If you ask me where to park, I will tell you to read the signs. I really have no better insight into parking than to direct you to the signs. If you are parking Monday through Friday during the day (between 8AM - 6PM) it is "Resident Parking" zone however we do have a guest pass to override this - just send me your license plate number and state and I will enter your information into the City of Albany and you can remain parked all day and night. If you are traveling with a canine companion, there will be a charge of $25 for the first night and $10 for any additional night. A dog bed and bowls will be provided upon request. Dogs are NOT permitted on the furniture!
