Disliked: Listing accuracy
First thing I did when we walked in was pick up a bug crawling across the floor. No one knew how to make the tv in living room work. No paperwork and even when I contacted someone they didn’t know. The tv in one of the bedrooms didn’t work. The road was extremely noisy so none of us got much sleep. Master bath is tiny. A larger person would not fit comfortably in it. Odd layout for the “kitchenette “. Furniture very old! Homeless walking around. Honestly if I could have gotten a refund I would have requested it and went somewhere else.

Amazing Stay

We honestly love staying at this location, every year our youth ask if we are going to stay at the same house that we go to. It is such a comfortable residence and having a gate is very nice so that we don't have to worry about anyone being there that doesn't need to be there. I cannot recommend this place anymore if you are looking for a place to stay.

Our Spring Break

The house was nice and very convenient to Old Downtown New Mexico. The property is on the corner right off the highway , so, you do hear the cars and get the bright lights all night long if you get the master bedroom. I suggest some blackout mini blinds. Then there’s the convenience store directly across the road where there are homeless people and is bit scary to be awakened from their screams. The parking lot is locked and gated. For a night or 2 at the most it is good.

They were told they could check in - and the house was totally in a state of disarray and not clean. The group had to search for other housing, and were able to get a hotel.

There was a mistake on my staff's part on check in date. They did arrive with all clean linen, towels and could have had the home clean and ready to go in the time guest could have gone out for dinner. We do and did apologize. Would have been glad to have them stay.

We didnt stay at a winery.The house is old. The bathroom showers are tiny. I'm 5'5" 150lbs and it was tight for me. There is no kitchen. You have to use a bicycle lock to lock the gate. It is in a sketchy neighborhood. Totally different experience from the pictures. And the house manager accused us of taking a bed cover and leaving a stain on the mattress. Crazy. Some of the beds are super old. Way over priced for what you get. I wanted to ask for half of my money back but I know that would be useless.

Lovely

Thank you for letting us stay at your place. The place is as described in the pictures. Clean and in good condition. Even dough there is no formal kitchen, we were able to prepare some breakfast every morning. All the pans and utensils are provided. Very cozy and quiet all the time. The only issue is that there is no central a/c and not all the rooms have portable a/c but they all have ceiling fun. Thanks God it wasn't too hot by the time we were there. Mike the manager a very nice man, was very helpful and available all the time need. Enjoyable and peaceful time in your place. Thank you very much!

Great Place to Stay for Balloon Fiesta

The home was just as described. Very roomy for our entire family. The location was great for trips to Old Town and the Balloon Fiesta being right off the highway. Everything was close. Quick walk to Starbucks for coffee. The Range restaurant was right across the street for breakfast or lunch. Getting used to the highway noise took a few days. But not too bad. Check in process didn't work and had to make a call to the owner. She fixed right away. There was NO internet as stated. But the owner worked very hard to get it restored while we were there. But to no avail. I knew before hand there was no kitchen. But for as many days as we were there it was very inconvenient. We made do. Private parking with a locked gate was nice. I would have rated 5 stars if the internet would have worked and had a better kitchen.

Many red flags! We did not even stay in the house

Read all reviews before booking~ The very nice property manager left a message that the house was ready and A/C had been turned on before our arrival. Upon arrival, entry was in the back of the house through a bedroom. There were instructions not to use the main house entrance because the door does not function properly. The A/C for this property consists of one central A/C vent in the hallway. There is no central A/C service to any of the rooms. There were portable A/C units in two of the four bedrooms and one in the living room. These units were dumping as much heat into the rooms as it was trying to cool, which means they should have been vented to the outside but were not. The unit in the master was overheating and the power cord was very hot. We contacted the property manager who offered to bring over an extra portable AC and a fan. As we looked around the house for solutions to work with the portable units, we noted the few outlets in each of the rooms were loaded with extension cords. (I missed a prior review with similar complaint noting extensive discussion with electrician about the age of the electrical wiring). Some of the windows had been propped open with wooden dowels likely to help with cooling the house. We also found a propane tank for the gas grill inside one of the bedroom closets, why inside the house?? We messaged the property owner with no response and stayed at a hotel instead.

Safety Concerns

Entering the property was a little off-putting as it is a big empty gravel lot that has a chain lock on it. It is located at the direct corner of a freeway and a main street, where normally a gas station would be. We could have google earthed, but we did not. The home is lovely, well taken care of. Old, but still nice. AC is selective in the house. We turned the one in the master on and power went out on that side of the house. Spent hot night. Next night we spent 2 hours with electricians telling us how old the wiring is. No smoke detectors in any of the bedrooms. Very hard to sleep comfortably in a home with questionable electrical (verified by the electrician we spent time with on our vacation) and no smoke detectors.

The property is older but is well taken care off.

This property is older but well taken care of. Although there is not an official kitchen there are sufficient appliances to allow for a meal to be made and a rather large dining area. The location, for us, was close to our destination (Albuquerque Sports Complex) but it appears that this part of town is a bit sketchy with lots of homeless walking around. The only issues we had were the entrance to the property opens right into a bedroom which was inconvenient and left privacy for that room a bit uncomfortable. The heating for this particular bedroom and the room that has the three beds were much colder than the rest of the house but lots of blankets in the closet to help stay warm. If going back, would stay here again if going to someplace close to the property

Comfortable but concerning

The house was clean and well furnished. The only air conditioner that works well is the one in the sunken in bedroom area. The other air units only keep you tolerably cool. The first night we were there we had a knock on our door at midnight. It was a homeless man asking for water. At 3am the next morning we were woke by a loud crash. Someone had crashed a car across the street, bashed in the window and was running from the car as we watched from the window. The last 3 nights were, fortunately, uneventful.

We enjoyed the house but a prior guest may have hidden food in between paper plates in kitchen

This is a nice property and fit our needs very well -- enough beds and two bathrooms. I could not tell from description before renting that there was no full kitchen -- probably my bad but, I do like to cook so I missed having a full kitchen and instead had a small kitchenette. Maybe I should have read the description more closely. Overall, this property was good for our needs and we felt comfortable there.

3 Traveling Women Forced to Give 5 Stars

If you enjoy the idea of a vacation in a sketchy neighborhhood with a homeless camp close by then Rose Bungalow is the place for you. There is easy access to the freeways....Route 66 practically runs through the living room and right outside your other living room window is a gas station. There's no need for fancy artwork. The cracks in the walls and water damaged bubbled ceilings and walls give it lots of character. The bedroom windows have big hoses through them for some kind of cooler on the dressers. Then there are pieces of wood on the windows but I think the security company stickers on the windows are supposed to ward off any break ins. The backyard had a little BBQ but the old tire and hubcap on the patio and yard took away the charm. They might have flown off of a car from the freeway above the house. The caretaker was kind enough to warn us which streets close by were to be avoided and to make sure we locked our car in the enclosed area so it wouldn't get broken into. Once contacted the owner tried to give us ideas on how to spend our time - like calling the police on the homeless camp but we were busy cleaning up dog pee in the living room from the caretaker's dog and washing drinking glasses before they could be used. We left after our first night of which we paid for 3 and went to a hotel. I sent the owner the pictures of our complaints and a follow up text but haven't heard from her. They must have had a fabulous photographer for the house pictures because they do not truly reflect the tone of the home. One of the women I was with described it as more of a frat house where her 20 year old son would love to come with his friends. The owner did say that if I wasn't happy with the location of the bungalow I should have Google Earthed it before renting. Although I have never been disappointed before - even in Europe - I will take her up on the suggestion from now on. She also told me I could only give her property a 5 star review. I hope I am doing it justice.
