Great Stay at Casita

We stayed at this lovely Casita with our pet and enjoyed our time there immensely. Property was located at the end of the road, quiet and safe with room for our dog to enjoy the outdoors. The hosts could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We look forward to another stay in the future.

casita

The casita was the perfect size and was well stocked. The owners were very accommodating and hospitable. Convenient location to the airport and major highways. The neighborhood roosters and dogs were a bit noisier than we would have liked, but still better than the noise people make in hotels.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Nov 2020
We're very sorry about the noise of the neighborhood animals. Living in the valley has its good and bad aspects I suppose, especially for folks who aren't used to the sounds of a rural life. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot we can do about roosters or dogs. It's unfortunate it created a less than wonderful experience for you. We can only hope the good outweighed this annoyance.

My husband and I were very pleased with our stay at this casita which was full of art and quite lovely! We loved our stay primarily because Jill and Marty were such lovely people! They were kind and thoughtful. They made sure we were aware of the celebrations happening in Albuquerque at the time of our visit and assisted us in getting to them. In addition, the location of the casita was close to so many sights we wanted to see! I hope to go back again if we are able. I highly recommend a stay here!

Perfect casita

This little casita in Albuquerque is really perfect! Beautifully furnished, in a fabulous location—quiet and private and a quick drive into Old Town—and the owners are just lovely. I had everything I needed, felt totally comfortable. Loved walking along the ditch and through the neighborhood, was close to the great shops and restaurants in Old Town, and an easy drive over to UNM. Owners were helpful and had great information. Loved it and can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful, centrally located charming retreat

I had a FABULOUS time at Jill and Marty's casita. Walking into the Casita was like coming home to the home I never knew I had! Marty and Jill provided everything needed for my stay. Most notably shower gel/lotion/shampoo in the bathroom and common staples in the kitchen like a full complement of spices, sugar, flour, coffee, tea and more. Location = 20 minutes or less to everything Comfort & Privacy = A+ Hosts = EXTRAORDINARY!!!

Absolutely perfect!!!

Jill and Marty have a little gem here in the center of ABQ culture. We stayed for 5 days and were rewarded with a great place to stretch out and enjoy NM. Also for those day trips abroad, the interstate is not far. The Casita is great for those with little ones. The couch folds out and there is a jungle gym and toys. Thanks so much to Jill and Marty for letting us stay!!

Extraordinary -- both the property and the owners!

Never spent much time in the South Valley when I lived in Abq, so this was a first. As noted by previous reviews, the casita is perfect: comfortable, clean, bright, and relaxing! The location is ideal and was an easy commute to the UNM campus where I had work meetings. I loved the proximity as well to the Rio Grande/Bosque (walking, running, biking trail). But the most special part of our stay was making new friends; the owners are spectacular, kind, and all around wonderful people! Highly recommend this place!

Nice quiet space

This was a quaint little home that was perfect for what we needed. It’s an older style space with lots of southwestern and native art. Each day I was finding a new small art piece I didn’t see before. But it has everything you need and the owners are very kind and accommodating. Home is also on a dead end street in a quiet neighborhood. Really enjoyed our stay while we were there! Thanks Jill and Marty!

Almost Perfect*

The Casita was wonderful. Jill and Marty were the perfect hosts. We really enjoyed using the pool. A great getaway for 2 people. *The only thing that wasn't perfect was the bed. In fact, it was terrible. It has an incredibly old metal spring mattress that is 20 years past it's prime. It pains me to mention this because we had such an incredibly wonderful time staying here. It has so much fun character and you truly feel at home.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Aug 2020
We're happy you and Ben enjoyed the casita and pool so much. We only wish you had told us about your displeasure with the bed. Although the mattress is actually only 4 years old, and is not a metal spring mattress, had you mentioned its discomfort we would have been more than happy to purchase a new mattress that would have better suit your needs. Our goal is the comfort of our guests. Perhaps in the future, should you select another vacation rental, you will consider mentioning any problem or discomfort to the owner. Most of us in this business strive to have our guests totally enjoy their stay. We can't correct a problem we aren't aware of and since we've had no other complaints about the bed, were unaware it might be an issue. Good luck in your future travels.

Our Home Away From Home

Our second trip to New Mexico and back to our favorite casita and our favorite hosts/friends. We feel so welcome there and plan to make it an annual vacation spot. The casita is very special, with its cozy kitchen-totally stocked, large livingroom/dining room- with the wonderful New Mexican art, and the very large bedroom with its own sitting area. The patio is the perfect place to relax and the new patio renos by Marty are great. All the cactus in the back yard really make you realize you are a long way from Canada. Marty and Jill were kind enough to invite us to see their fabulous yard and home, so thanks for that girls. There are so many day road trips that we went on, including Lincoln (Billy the Kid country), Santa Fe Canyon Rd art galleries, Bandelier Nat Mon, Puye Cliff Dwellings, Acoma Pueblo Sky Country and The Turquoise Trail, to name a few. The scenery around Albuquerque is breathtaking, with all the colors of rock, so a drive in the country is a must - it certainly is a land of enchantment. As we look out the window at 7 feet of snow still in our yard, we wish we were back enjoying that great New Mexico sunshine and the company of our new friends Marty and Jill.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Nov 2020
Jill & I couldn't be more pleased that you have chosen our casita as an annual vacation spot. We DEFINITELY enjoy your company & friendship and look forward to your visit in 2014. I still can't believe how much you two can pack into your trip!!! Good luck with all that snow!
