Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

“Absolutely wonderful. Best Airbnb stay yet. Will definitely be back!”
-Meg

“Awesome hosts!!! Incredibly kind and responsive. You can feel the love they poured into this place. Thoughtful touches everywhere you look, from the decor, to well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. My dad and I stayed here for a few days while we were visiting family and felt so at home. Great value. walking distance to groceries, and the A/C units are quiet but effective (which was important as we visited in July). There is also a little park around the corner, where I was able to take my dog. I highly recommend this spot; it’s got everything you need!”
-Rhea

“I’ve stayed in AirBnBs in several countries around the world and many states within the US and I can say without question that this is the best experience I have ever had.

First of all, the hosts are SUPER responsive. Their house is beyond well-stocked. Literally any kitchen or bathroom item you could ever imagine needing is there. There are playing cards, magazines, books, etc as well as Smart TV for all streaming channels. There are super-comfy robes in the closet, and most importantly (to me) a huge supply of female items including makeup wipes – which is something I don’t normally see in AirBnBs.

This place is super close to a grocery store and the neighborhood is pretty quiet and calm, perfect for going for walks, which we did every day. Also not far from Uptown ABQ shopping mall.

If you stay in Albuquerque, I promise you there is no other place to stay!”
-Sabrina
