This was our second time to stay at this house. Albuquerque is the halfway point between our winter and summer homes, so we stay here as our stopover point for the night. It works perfectly for us.

The entire family was impressed with the house. Everything about the property was even better than the listing. The house was beautiful, very clean and had everything we would need. The dining table was perfect for our family of 12 to play games, share stories and eat on. The beds were comfortable and the living area was relaxing. We were all thrilled with it and would love to stay here again!

Our family of 2 grandparents, 4 adults and 5 children stayed at Linda's home. We had plenty of room and the house was well located for our needs. The kids played with all the outside and inside toys and games provided. We enjoyed the outdoor eating space and the proximity to the canal trail. The three full bathrooms were perfect for our 3 families. The house was easily accessible for checking in and out and we had no problems during our stay. Thank you Linda!

Review

Our host, Linda, was very accommodating with a much needed early check in. Great time with family. Fire pit was enjoyed. There were a few issues with the house early on. Oven and microwave were not working and kitchen sink was plugged. A rather pricey stay to have to deal with issues like this. Property manager, Tanya, was able to tend to these issues, but not until mid day of the following day. Hard to be without an oven with a full house for 3 meals, but we managed. Nice neighborhood.

Beautiful home and neighborhood!!!

We gathered this Fourth of July weekend to celebrate a birthday and memorial. We hosted family from out of town in this stunning home. It was perfect for a large family and friends who just wanted to share memories, have good conversation and great food. The teenagers enjoyed the backyard and we could see fireworks from the back patio! Thank you for hosting our family for this special occasion.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Urioste

Host profile image
Hi Im Linda, I live in Atlanta Georgia but originally from South Florida. My husband "Bobby" was born in a very small rural town, Anton Chico New Mexico. His large family of eight siblings and his parents relocated to Albuquerque in 1957. Bobby was raised in close proximity to this home he built himself, and with the help from is nephews in 2008. Bobby attended primary school at Alameda Elementary just a mile down the street from this AirBNB. After leaving high school Bobby enjoyed much success as a professional jockey, starting his career at the Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse Tracks in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and at Ruidoso Downs, in Sacramento Mountains of southern New Mexico. By Bobby's mid-twenties, we were married and raising a family in South Florida. Bobby reestablished his skills in the drywall trade, from a family-owned business in Albuquerque as a teenager. He established a successful drywall business in south Florida. We built several homes in South Florida. This home, “The Balloon Fiesta Home” was the last, built by Bobby. The home became an Airbnb in 2019. The wide spacious hallway in this home tells the history of the home, Bobby's extremely successful endeavors, and boasts photos of other homes we built in South Florida, including a Magnificent equestrian facility Barn/home in Wellington Florida, home to many Olympian Hunter/Jumper riders and horses. I enjoy hosting and reading stories of guests. If you are in the Albuquerque area, please consider staying.
