Damon and Kent were terrific hosts. They are very professional, well-informed and accommodating. The apartment is very tastefully decorated, open and comfortable. Our family of 5 loved the place and our 3 kids were quite happy to loaf about the apartment on the rare occasions that we let them. Proximity to the Utica metro station is a huge advantage as your are a two minute walk to the express train to Manhattan. If you are a family, our advice would be to do your food shopping before you get home as we found local options fairly scarce. We highly recommend this apartment.
