Stablebase sets a new benchmark for private accommodation in the southwest. You would be hard-pressed to find an apartment of the same level of quality, comfort, sustainable design and aesthetic appeal, even at a much higher rate. Coupled with Sam and Tom's thoughtful hospitality (fresh eggs, coffee, bread, butter, milk, herbs, toiletries et al) and cheerful natures, Stablebase is a real gem of a find. We stayed with our three children (took an extra mattress) and had a wonderful three nights in Albany, enhanced greatly by our hosts' local tips on eating out etc. Would return in a heartbeat. Thanks Tom and Sam!
