  Only 5 mins walk to the University, 1 min walk to historic Nob Hill (Route 66) and not on the main road! The property is near new and still looks brand new throughout. There is an eatery on the ground level of the building which is ideal for a quick snack or the evening meal. The studio is beautifully decorated and the bright colors on the walls and furniture make for a vibrant atmosphere. A vast array of restaurants, boutique bars, cafes and the like are within a few minutes walk from the front door. This is truly a marvelous place to stay and I will certainly be checking availability here when arranging my next Albuquerque vacation.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thanks for the well written review from Australia. We enjoyed the newspaper you brought us to read and more importantly accommodating you. Please keep us in mind should you return to ABQ as we offer a 10% discount to return guests. Safe travels wherever you go.

  My husband and I recently stayed in this wonderful apartment and couldn’t have been happier! We travel quite a bit and have stayed in many VRBO's along the way. That said, this is one of my favs yet. It is in the heart of Albuquerque with close proximity to restaurants, shops, etc. The owner was extremely nice and went out of her way to acclimate us to the area and make us comfortable! The apartment: Love it! The pictures don't do the place justice on VRBO.com. The owners have taken every last detail into consideration and upon our arrival; we even found a bottle of wine and coffee for the morning waiting for us. Everything you can imagine was furnished - towels, linens, toiletries, Wi-Fi internet, bottled water, spices, all the cooking & eating utensils you would ever need, microwave, toaster, dish washing soap, laundry detergent etc. In other words, we just had to bring our clothes and it was like being at home. It was very clean, quiet and very comfortable. It is PERFECT for a couple. Would not recommend if traveling with children/pets given the high-end amenities. We feel we cannot say enough good things about the owner or apartment, but we would highly recommend it and would definitely return in the future. Many thanks for making our first visit to Albuquerque an easy one. We made great memories!

  Owner response: Thanks so much for the great review. You pretty much mentioned everything that we try to do for your guests and for the Studios. Please keep us in mind for your next trip to Albuquerque...10% off room rates to return guest. Many Happy Travels to you.

  Owner of studios has great taste. Everything one could possibly want is on hand. Though in a commercial building with restaurant above & below, noise was never a problem. I could easily live in these studios for a very extended visit.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We enjoyed having you here and are glad you made use of the equipped kitchen and laundry. We take pride in making the Studios an easy space to be away from home in. We do offer a discount for return guests and would love to accommodate you, should you return to Albuquerque.

  Location, location. This place is a great little gem in Nob Hill with access to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Property is amazing and set up well for your stay. Was there for 5 days and only wish I could have longer. There's a wonderful place to eat called Baileys on the beach, they even deliver to the room. Cash or CC payment at the counter. Have to try the coconut pancakes. The property is well kept and has a great style with decor. Overall a winner.

  Owner response: Thanks for a great review and taking the time to write one. I love it when someone totally gets the concept and what the property is about. Please keep us in mind should you return to Albuquerque for a 10% on room rates. Travel safe, Gaye

• The Best VRBO has to Offer

  We have rented 10-15 apartments through VRBO over the years, and this is the best we have ever seen. The location can't be beat, with dozens of options for dining and eclectic shopping, the price is very reasonable and Gaye is a delight to work with. But the apartment itself is the star of the show. Beautifully remodeled, with incredible attention to detail, it is decorated in a funky decor, with newly upholstered, multi-color painted thrift store furniture. It has an ultra-modern feel. The kitchen and bath are both well equipped and beautifully decorated. Everything in the place is coordinated to go with everything else, right down to the paper napkins on the table. It seems more spacious than the pictures make it appear. The welcome wine and snacks were a nice touch. The rooftop patio has great views. You can have a meal, or just bring your own glass of wine up to relax. The way up went right in front of our door, and we did hear some foot traffic in the evening, but it stopped before bedtime, so it was not a bother. This is just a fun space to be in. Gaye has two other apartments on VRBO in the same building, and I would love to stay in each one, just to appreciate the different decors. This is simply the best.

  Owner response: Thanks for your excellent review. We value what you think and want it to be a great experience. We are happy you appreciated the details and efforts we've put in each studio. We recently added a charming casita close by with private patio and outdoor living area. Now you have four to try. The vrbo listing number is: 409651. Please consider us when you return to Albuquerque; return guests are given a discount off the room rate.

  Loved staying at this studio! I have never stayed any place so clean and well stocked for such a reasonable price! And I loved the bright and contemporary decor. My favorite part was the shower with the rock tile, so creative! The cafe located on the first floor served tasty beach style food and was so convenient. It was nice to be able to order room service or to sit on the rooftop patio. On the patio we were able to take in the breath-taking mountain view while enjoying our food and sipping a glass of wine or beer. Although the cafe was very casual there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance in the Nob Hill area. Nob Hill also has great shopping available with fun & eclectic shops. Gaye was wonderful and very accommodating; always willing to answer any questions we had. It is a great place to stay and enjoy Albuquerque's urban life style and we will definitely be staying here again!

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sightseeing.

  Owner response: We enjoyed having your here. Your review portrays exactly what we intend for the Studios to be. The patio space is a rarity in Nob Hill so we are very pleased to have it. The Studios were designed to be the perfect space to lodge simply but at the same time having what you would need if you decide to eat in, rather than eat at the local restaurants. They are spacious and not your mothers decor (at least not my mothers). Thanks again and we offer a 10% discount for all repeat guests.

• Cute studio but NOISY

  This cute studio is well-appointed and has all the amenities one could want. It is close to UNM's campus and the great restaurants on Central. It was more spacious than the pictures make it seem, and was a very clean and comfortable studio. The thing that you cannot tell from the description is that it is sandwiched above and below a noisy BAR and restaurant. The noise continued all day, but was particularly bad in the evenings and night. It didn't just come from above and below, though. The stairs between the restaurant's two levels goes right in front of the studio door, so people were constantly tromping right past the door. One rude person even tried to open our door! As we tried to get our toddler to sleep, we would hear loud voices and what sounded like near-constant furniture being moved around above us. I wish we had known about the noise before making our selection, since we were traveling with a child. If noise doesn't bother you, this is a nice place. But if you're looking for quiet, you will want to look elsewhere.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car.

  Owner response: We welcome your input and are sorry you had problems with noise. I was out of the country and don't know what happened during your time here. The cafe is an added advantage to this studio. We have had other couples with children stay who have not mentioned the sounds and have loved it here and are return guests. Below this studio is the cafe's office and above on the 3rd floor is a loft that is rented out...perhaps that night they held a party on their private patio. The stairway is used by the cafe and the other studios, so it does have others passing by. Leaving an "apartment or hotel room" door open will invite an inquisitive passerby in either setting. If you visit Albuquerque again and are looking for a quiet tranquil place to stay with a private entrance and a lovely outdoor living area and not in the busy city hub of historic Nob Hill; we will give you a 10% discount of our newly listed Casita: http://www.vrbo.com/409651

  Nob Hill is a great place for walking to shops, bars,and restaurants and this is the perfect place to stay! The rooms are fully equipted with all appliances , dishes, and everything you need to warm leftovers or cook from stratch! The decor is modern, eclectic, and spotless! The large showers have pebble floors! The murphy beds are really comfortable and the linens are quality. The flat screen TVs have cable and there is wireless internet. If you don't want to go out for meals the restaurant downstairs has great food and beach music! Enjoy eating it on the rooftop patio or just sit up there and enjoy the views! Gaye, the owners is great and has thought of everything you might need. I wish we could have stayed forever! The perfect place for romance (there are fireplaces too) or to stay and explore Albuquerque! Worth every penny! I highly recommend without reservation! You will have fun!
