Wonderful casita
The location couldn’t be better! It’s centrally located to both the Old Town and downtown Albuquerque, making walking everywhere fun and accessible. The loft casita is located up steep stairs with narrow treads, so I don’t think it would be appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. Parking was not a problem and the general area felt very safe. The property manager is delightful and very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.

Perfection!
This truly is a gorgeous Casita! We loved our stay here. Great location, very quick walk to Old Town, which was a very cute little historic town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Short drive to many other wonderful locations. The rental itself was so very clean and comfortable. I absolutely loved to outside areas. We had our own private enclosed back area with plenty of room and seating along with an amazing swing that I just loved. This rental is one flight up so this area was very private. One the ground level there is a beautiful yard also. There was also a hot tub for use but we did not have the time to take advantage of that. Just loved everything about this rental and would definitely stay there again if I ever get back to that area. I did have one question upon arrival and called Lilly, she answered me immediately. Thank you so much Lilly and David, we loved our stay at your beautiful Casita!

Quiet, clean, central
The check in process was seamless even though we arrived a bit later than expected. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, but also within walking distance of Old Town Plaza and the Sawmill district. We loved staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to again.

Lovely!
This is likely the loveliest vrbo my husband and I have experienced in all of our years traveling together. Thoughtful touches everywhere….soft sheets on a comfortable mattress, well-appointed small kitchen area with coffee, half & half, and water, and more…., luxury towels and soaps and first aid in the bathroom (along with bathrobes!) a lovely private screened porch with a gorgeous Mountain View over the rooftops, a larger garden patio and hot tub, all spotlessly cleaned and ready to enjoy….not to mention the bicycles….ready to ride along the river trails….to the zoo and botanic gardens…or just a few blocks into the historic plaza!!!! Parking at the house was very convenient….we only needed our car to get to and from the airport…less than 15 minutes away!

location
Place met our needs. We enjoyed the visit to the Sawmill Market nearby for meals, rather than places located in Old Town. Stairs to upper unit is quite steep, so needs to be careful when carrying luggages. Would have been more enjoyable if the weather wasn't so hot.

Lovely little loft
We really enjoyed staying at this nice loft very near Old Town Albuquerque. The place is small, but had everything we needed, and so much was withing walking distance. The enclosed screen porch with chairs and a hanging egg chair immediately became one of our favorite relaxation spots. I can only think of good things to say about this rental. Nice!

Light filled and cozy casita
The Casita location couldn’t have been better with many eating options, museums, brewery and bike path. The Casita was just as pictured with everthing you needed in a well appointed arrangement. Loved having the screeed in porch with mountain views and lots of sun through the windows.

This is a fully furnished studio with a well-equipped kitchenette for a comfortable stay. Its location, just a few blocks from Old Town Albuquerque, makes it very convenient for going out to shops, galleries and restaurants. Parking on the street or in the driveway is safe and easy. We fully recommend this place.

Very nice casita. Super clean and comfortable. 5 minute walk to old town. Very well appointed, coffee pods were available, which was a plus. We had trouble with locking our door, called the host and he took care of it. I also found a used towel hanging on the bathroom door. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this casita. Highly recommend. So convenient, home away from home.

Adorable casita right next to Old Town
Had a very enjoyable stay and the host was quick to help with our few questions. The casita was well done with a comfy queen bed, fabulous screened in balcony, and an adequate small kitchen. We asked the host about getting a larger frying pan and it was quickly provided. The stairway/entry is small and a little awkward but should be manageable for most people. The place was near perfect except for a broken futon/couch which was only comfortable on one end and an AC that seemed to be better at cooling the stairway than the room. It was a stay in July so keeping anything cool in that heat is a challenge. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a convenient location!

Best location in ABQ
We had a wonderful stay. The property location is absolutely perfect being steps away from Old Town and a quick drive downtown, the airport, and more. The Casita offered the perfect screened-in porch with full amenities inside. I appreciated coffee creamer in the fridge and a stocked Keurig upon arrival. Coming all the way from Boston, we really loved the added touch of a candle lit and peaceful music playing on the TV when we came in. We really enjoyed our morning walks and local coffee shops. Such a great place and I can't wait to return.

Perfect spot next to Old Town
This charming second-story efficiency apartment was the perfect spot for our four weeks in Albuquerque, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was everything we wanted or needed to be comfortable and conveniently located (just a 2-minute walk to the Old Town Plaza) near all the amenities we needed (such as Lowe's Market, where we shopped every day). We enjoyed use of the laundry on premises, the large patio, hot tub (kept at a perfect 104 degrees at all times), and one of the bicycles. We walked or rode bikes to many nearby attractions, such as the Bosque River Trail, the Sawmill Market (a restaurant mecca), museums, parks, and lots of other great restaurants. Our hosts were responsive, very helpful, and friendly--especially Lilly, who lives downstairs and frequently greeted us in passing. The bed was outstanding (one of the best I've ever slept on) and the heating/cooling system (with temperatures outside ranging from 26-76!) worked evenly and efficiently. We were delighted with this property and highly recommend it to others. We would love to visit again sometime.
