The space
A lot of small details were thought out for the guests to be comfortable, to cook meals and enjoy the place. I am very serious about the cleanliness, ready to go the extra step to make sure my guests enjoy their stay and keep improving the place all the time.
Please take a note that this apartment is part of the big house. It is private and had separate entry but you might see/hear other people that live on the same property.
Guest access

We had a wonderful stay at Serg’s place. He was very helpful and a good communicator. We would stay here again and recommend this place.
Very cute place! Communication was excellent. It was a bit out of the way for our activities and not really a walkable neighborhood but we knew this when booking. Must have a car and plan on at least a 20 min drive to get to restaurants, trails, etc. I would definitely reccomend!
Place is as pictured. Host was very responsive and helpful. My nephew slept on the couch and said it was super comfortable. My only cons are the beds are low to the ground (didn’t notice that in the photos) and A/C units didn’t work well but we went in December and were able to open the windows so we were comfortable. Overall enjoyed our stay very much!!!
We (5 of us) spent 4-nights. From before check-in until our last minute it was a very enjoyable experience. Kitchen and bath were small but adequate with everything you might need. Living/dining area was spacious and filled with amenities. Great WiFi and appleTV made media and tv a breeze. When we asked some questions, Serg came over to answer and we really enjoyed the visit and conversation. We hope we can book again when we visit the area in the future.
This was such a great option for us as we were only in town for the night for a haunted house attraction. The space is extremely spacious, very nicely decorated and gave us the fall season feeling. A great stay and would definitely do it again!
We loved our stay! Serg is a great host and supplied the place with great coffee and great natural products. The place has a great vibe too. It is out in the woods so very private. It had everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay again.
Great place, great location—especially if you are here to send some bad-ass Kraus/Weissner routes in the Gunks—, great price, in general, just easy. The place looked great and was clean when we arrived. We had very little interaction with our host, but when we ran into him, he was kind, cool and helpful. (Not a rock-climber, but he's forgiven. Serg likes heights but mistakenly chooses parachutes over ropes.) The beds were clean and comfortable, the TV we never used, the kitchen was very useful. Suggestions for improvement... could be because we left a door open, not sure, but we were joined by an extended family of flies by day two. They were annoying, as flies tend to be. Not sure if you can do anything about it, but just an idea. Also, separate bins for garbage and recycling would be great. We only found the garbage bin. Maybe one for compost too? And if I want to be nit-picky (especially at the excellent price!), a better pot for cooking pasta would be nice. Overall, I would absolutely stay at Serg's again.
1-Frustrating time spent on trying to figure out (with many emails back and forth with owner) how to access regular TV channels, only to finally find out that the listing incorrectly stated they had satellite or cable which they did not. There were no directions for anything in the apartment. 2-Bathroom & Kitchen- long strand of black hair left on bathroom sink and in shower. Also something stuck on wall under light switch, near floor (easily cleaned by us). 3-Baseboard heating made loud noises due, most likely, to air in the lines. Some dishes were not clean (pots, lids, cups) 4-Water filter -we mentioned it was brown, needing to be changed, but 2 days later, when we were leaving, it hadn't been (the water we had to use was very cloudy) 5-Water line in ceiling of bedroom (near bathroom) made a constant vibrating noise all night. 6-Recycling- we were only told the night before we checked out to please separate recycling. We would have been happy to do that if we knew when we arrived and were told what you recycle, and provided a separate recycle container some where. 7-The morning of our check-out there was very little heat and hot water. As we were going in and out to load our car, we ran into Serg, and that is when he told us he was having trouble with the boiler. We would have appreciated a text, email, or a knock on our door to let us know.
Sergay's ground level apartment was an excellent place to stay. We were two couples with two infants and were up in Gardiner for a weekend to climb at the gunks. The walls were surprisingly well insulated, so the babies didn't wake one another up. The place was clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Sergay was a communicative host and arrival/departure was very easy. Plus, it was a short drive to the Gunks. Would definitely recommend!
This apartment was so cute and cozy. Owner was very responsive and considerate, home was super clean and check in/out was easy. Would recommend this property and will absolutely be coming back!!
