Guest Interaction:
I like you to feel comfortable in the space, as if it was your own. I provide thorough directions and lots of communication. Throughout your stay, I am only ever a message or phone call away. I'm always happy to provide recommendations, advice, or anything else that may come up during your stay. If we are not available, we have assistant available.

Other Things to Note:
Pets: We are DOG friendly, on a case-by-case basis and must be agreed upon, in writing, upon booking. Please review the rules and contact me first. There is an additional pet fee charged based on age/breed/size/quantity of the dog(s) & # of nights stayed. $50 fee is included for 1 dog. If you have more than 1 dog additional fees may be due. Fee reductions considered for 1 night stays, please contact me. NO cats allowed due to severe allergy.

Security Cameras installed outside (these are the only cameras) - we use this to monitor guest count and for security purposes.

Trash - guest agrees to take cans to curb on designated city pick up days

Low Flow Toilets - do not flush anything other than small amounts of toilet paper

The home is regularly treated with non-toxic pest repellent. Still, this property is located in a historic neighborhood in the desert. Bugs are a part of life here in the southwest. While we make every effort to stay on top of pest control and keep the apartments spotless for guests, we cannot completely control nature and therefore you may see the occasional bug. Please be aware of this and make sure you're ok with the possibility before booking.

The Neighborhood:
We love the historic feel and the charm that Old Town delivers. It's always enjoyable to slow down and spend time strolling through the square and the numerous shops and restaurants available. We feel perfectly safe walking around Old Town both day and night, just sticking to the immediate blocks around the plaza, and around Rio Grande Blvd. Going from Central towards Downtown does have some isolated stretches so it is recommended to use common safety sense as you would in any big city.

Distance to:
Airport: 9 miles
Balloon Fiesta Part: 12 miles (we recommend park-n-ride)
Hotel Albuquerque: 4min walk
UNM: 3.5 miles
Old Town: 2 min walk
Fairgrounds: 8miles
Convention Center: 2 miles

Location is perfect for walking to Old town and surrounding restaurants. Walk score of 84 out of 100. This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot.

Bike score of 87 (very bikeable, flat as a pancake, good bike lanes). There is a bike rental shop within walking distance as well.

Uber, Lyft and Taxi's are always available.

There is a bus system, check the city website for details.

VRBO was conveniently located close to Old Town, VRBO was a short walk away. VRBO has 3 mini splits, one in each bedroom and one in the living room. They cool quickly once turned on and do keep the temperature regulated nicely.

Nice house, good location.

The house had two large bedrooms and one bath, and was very clean and nice. The owner was accessible through VRBO and responded to any questions within 24 hours--sooner, if there was an issue. While we chose to drive to locations, Old Town was certainly within walking distance. Even better, the entrance to I-40 was about a half-mile away. I would happily stay there again.

Highly recommend this property

My stay at this NM adobe left me thoroughly impressed as I was met with a range of amenities and features that contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The presence of a Kangen water cooler was a pleasant surprise. The convenience of having a big refrigerator allowed me to store all the groceries I needed for the duration of my stay. Two patios added outdoor options for relaxation, and the yard and inside of the house were exceptionally clean, making us feel right at home. The double garage was a standout perk. It provided secure parking and extra storage space. It is clear that the host is prepared to ensure their guests have a comfortable and convenient experience while enjoying the ambiance of the charm of Old Albuquerque.

We had a great time visiting Albuquerque and this property was a great place to stay! It was clean and well appointed and within walking distance to old town. It had a fenced yard for the dog (if you have a small dog, the gate may have large enough spacing for them to get out, so you may have to block off the gate, but it wasn't a problem for my 60lb dog). It was also very close to the paseo del Bosque bike trail which was great, as we brought our bikes. I would stay again if ever in the area.
