my lover and I stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved it . We had the option of the upstairs or the downstairs room. The neighborhood was surprisingly quite, it being right next to the park and is walking distance to many spots. Utica train station is about a 3 to 4 block walk and there are a lot of quick bite spots in the area. Also a bar right downstairs from the apt. The host was a quick responder and very sweet and helpful! Definitely would stay again.
