Neighborhood

Nob Hill is an exciting district with eclectic shops, swanky dining and chic nightspots. Its Route 66 architecture and neon signs, combined with predominantly locally owned shops, galleries and restaurants, make Nob Hill a hip and fashionable area. This area is centrally located and also close to the University of New Mexico, downtown, all major hospitals, and just a quick 15 minutes from the airport.

You’ll be within a couple miles of:
Frontier Restaurant
Flying Star Cafe
Helix Coffee & Yoga
Scalo Northern Italian Grill
Zinc Wine & Bistro
Kelly’s Brew Pub
Gecko’s Bar & Tapas
University of New Mexico
And many more…

Every December, Nob Hill swarms with shoppers visiting for Shop and Stroll, an evening event featuring food, music and special activities. You’ll be able to enjoy the Italian Film Festival in February and the Summerfest in July. Albuquerque is also home of the International Balloon Fiesta, the world’s largest gathering of hot-air balloons, taking place every October. Natural wonders are abundant with the majestic Sandia Mountains running along the eastern side of Albuquerque, and the scenic Rio Grande flowing through the city.

Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“My stay at “Bubble Gum Betty” couldn’t have been more cozy and “cool”. The duplex is eclectic and fun with a Victrola and accompanying albums. The album choices reserved for the guests enjoyment were excellent and covered various genres! The ambiance allowed me to relax and unwind while sipping wine and those tunes!” – Melissa

“This is the perfect place to stay in Albuquerque, especially if you have a dog! Private, large fenced in backyard. Very clean house with all the amenities you need. A very gracious and responsive host! The best air bnb we have stayed in! Highly recommend staying here or another property by this host!” – Holly

“Huge, outstanding place, good location. Hosts were communicative and accommodating. Kitchen and bathroom were stocked with anything and everything you can imagine. Best part of the house is absolutely the patio. Sunset was incredible every single day. It’s also outstanding for pets, as there isn’t any gaps in the fence they can escape.“ – Cory

☆☆ YOUR RETRO RETREAT ☆☆
Built in the 1950s, this half duplex is full of historic charm. We have accented the natural character of the home with vibrant art, furniture, and decor that is local, unique, and fun! Great news for those traveling with pets – your furry friends are welcome! ($65 pet fare)

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
Retire to one of two bedrooms and enjoy an amazing night’s rest on award-winning king-size Casper beds (ranked top-tier memory foam mattress of 2021). Both bedrooms feature luxurious linens for your comfort – the same linens used by Royal Caribbean, so you’ll feel like you are on a cruise minus the high price!

We make organizing easy for you by providing closets with shelves, hangers, & luggage racks.

☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆
A full bathroom sits between the two bedrooms and is well-stocked for a relaxing, spa-like bath experience. It features a shower/tub combo and premium natural + organic toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wash, and lotion. Additionally, you’ll find cotton balls, q-tips, feminine products, and make-up removal wipes. We’re confident that you’ll be delighted to dry off with some of the fluffiest towels money can buy (provided by our linen/towel partner who provide the towels to The White House).

An additional half-bath is located off the family room – no need to wait around when duty calls!

☆☆ KITCHEN + DINING ☆☆
The full kitchen has everything you need to whip up creative culinary dishes or just your everyday staples. From stainless steel appliances and utensils to cooking oils and spices, we have your cooking needs covered.

Kitchen amenities include a refrigerator/freezer, a microwave, pots & pans, oils, salt, pepper, basic spices, dishes, silverware, and a stove/oven. We also treat guests to a well-stocked coffee bar, complete with a Keurig coffee machine, coffee pods, and all the condiments to make your cup of joe exactly how you want it.

You can enjoy your meals at the kitchen bar top/counter space (seating for four) or head over to the dining table (also has seating for four).

☆☆ LIVING ROOM + FAMILY ROOM ☆☆
The large living room is located just across from the kitchen, and the open floor plan makes it easy to converse between the two rooms. Sit back and relax on the comfy couch in front of the fireplace as the designated chef gets to work to delight your group in the kitchen.

You could play some tunes on the Victrola vinyl record player or get some work done at the designated work area, complete with an LCD monitor and office chair. Feel free to indulge in our collection of family-friendly games stored beneath the record player!

Head over to the family room with comfy seating for the whole family on the plush leather furniture. You can use our streaming accounts or log into your own services on the brand new 55” LG Smart TV. Available streaming platforms include Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock TV, Pandora, and Spotify.

If you need to work on your vacation, or just like to stay connected, you’ll appreciate the dedicated workspace with a table and chair, the 600MB high-speed WiFi!

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
The private fenced backyard is a great place to get some fresh air, grill out, or enjoy your morning cup of coffee. Pro-tip – the sunsets from the patio are phenomenal, so head out here in the evenings to see the beautiful color show! If you bring your furry friend with you, you can let them run free – just be sure to clean up after them.

☆☆ SAFETY FIRST ☆☆
We ensure the space is always safe, but we have a fire extinguisher and first aid kit on hand just in case. Smoke & carbon monoxide detectors are also installed. The property is always professionally cleaned and sanitized after each stay.

☆☆ PLANET FRIENDLY HOSTS ☆☆
We are committed to sustainability! Our cleaners use natural/organic cleaning products such as Mrs. Meyers and Thieves in preparation for your stay. Guest toiletries are healthy for you and the environment.

☆☆ GUEST-FIRST COMMUNICATIONS ☆☆
Your experience is our first priority. Our team of “Care Bears” will be at your service, ready to care for you from booking through departure. We strive to respond within minutes to get you answers quickly.
