Historic Old Town has been the heart of Albuquerque since the city was founded here in 1706. Today, Old Town is the city's cultural center, with numerous museums and more than 100 shops, galleries and restaurants. Old Town’s narrow streets and century-old adobe houses are home to New Mexican eateries serving enchiladas and sopapilla pastries, and tiny artisan shops selling jewelry, rugs and pottery. Old Town Plaza is a charming spot overlooked by the 18th-century San Felipe de Neri Church. Nearby, the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science has dinosaur skeletons, while the Albuquerque Museum displays Southwestern art.

Perfect spot for a Staycation
I am from Santa Fe and wanted to find the perfect getaway for a staycation with my partner. I’ve seen the Desert Compass on Instagram and thought it looked adorable so I booked the Cactus Suite. This beautiful Airbnb is unique, thoughtful, and basically I wish I could live there. We arrived to a clean, cool apartment that smelled like piñon, with a very comfortable bed. The art throughout is by one of my favorite local artists Jodie Herrera. The space is full of special touches- local coffee & pottery, nice woodworking, a cute mint green fridge, a plant in the shower. It feels very safe, there’s a gate and on-site parking. Talk about a great a location- it is across from a beautiful park, blocks away from the museums, Sawmill Market, Spurline. We didn’t get to try the pool but I’m already planning my next trip with some girlfriends. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot! Thank you Desert Compass for making this oasis affordable and beautiful
