Our experience was wonderful. It was great to be able to explore the surrounding areas of AlBuquerque and Santa Fe and then come back to this welcoming spot.

We stayed at Studios Nob Hill for a week. It is just as represented--and more. Gaye has thought of every detail. The kitchen was well stocked. We appreciated the extra paper towels, plenty of glasses, sugar and salt, espresso maker, Britta water filter...and the dishwasher was easy to operate. Also there is a hair dryer and a washer-dryer, AND plenty of extra towels in the closet. Loved the fireplace. The bed was quite comfortable. Everything was sparkling clean. The location is perfect for exploring Nob Hill's many shops and restaurants, as well as the University. If you do have a car, free parking is provided, which is important in this area. You can also stroll to the north and enjoy the lovely residential neighborhood.

Owner response:Thanks so much for the great review. Please keep us in mind for return trips to Albuquerque. Your input is much appreciated. Have a marvelous New Year! Gaye

A real God send. Wonderful location. Very well furnished with everything I needed to settle in straight away for my 5 week work visit. Kitchen was wonderful and had all amenities and kitchenware to live very comfortably. Bathroom fantastic. Internet very fast and reliable which is key for business. Welcome pack was a very nice touch too. Will be back

Owner response:Please do return. We try to furnish the Studio so that it is good for extended stays. It was a delight to have you here. Good luck with your projects. Gaye

Accomodations were way above average. The design elements in the studio are just too much fun. The nearby Central Avenue are numberous and varied. The on-site eatery was appreciated and the 3rd floor patio was an enjoyable get-a-way

Owner response:The cafe's convenience for our guests is much appreciated. I am glad you had a chance to take advantage of it. Thanks for taking time for a review. Please return, Gaye

We stayed at this rental for three nights and could happily have stayed for a month. The rental was exactly as described and shown in the VRBO listing -- and more! We were amazed at all the tiny details Gaye had thought of to make the rental experience more enjoyable, starting with coffee, wine, chocolates and other treats to greet us when we arrived. Very comfortable bed, great bathroom, good quality appliances and beautiful original artwork. The location is perfect for sightseeing, shopping, and eating, although we also cooked at home. Good bus service right outside the door means that you don't have to have a car, although there is a parking spot right outside the rental if you do have a car. Gaye could not have been more helpful, even offering to order food in for us because of our late arrival in Albuquerque. We wouldn't think of staying anywhere else if we ever return to Albuquerque.

Owner response:Thanks so much for the great review and we would love for you to return in the future. Enjoy all of your travels, Gaye

We are frequent users of VRBO properties and have had great experiences. Gaye and her Nob Hill studios have taken this to another level. She was responsive to our initial requests and met us at the studio apartment when we got into town. She gave us a nice warm welcome, a tour of the studio, explaining the amenities and even left us a bottle of wine, chips, salsa and chocolates. The pictures don’t give a real sense of now nice the studio really is. It was very clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. The location is centrally located in Albuquerque, allowing for a great time. The studio makes a trip to Albuquerque much more enjoyable and relaxing than a standard hotel. There is no doubt that on our next trip to Albuquerque we will be staying at Nob Hill Studios. Thanks Gaye for making our trip a memorable one, your place is awesome, awesome, awesome!

Owner response:The two of you were great to have. Loved your enthusiasm and the desire to explore Albuquerque. Should you return....it is a 10% for return guests in addition to your military discount. Thanks for the AWESOME review. Gaye

This was our 2nd time to stay here. It's a real home from home experience and guess that's why we like it. It works well with our 3yr old daughter too. The area is lovely. Beautiful shops and restaurants are only a short stroll away which is really nice. I used a gym which was only a 2 mile drive away which the owners of this property recommend and can also assist with which was very good. All in all, a very positive experience using this property. You won't be disappointed..we were not.

Owner response:We enjoyed having you here as a return guest. It is an honor that you chose to come back to the Studios. We are including a complimentary visit to local gym in the amenities currently. Thanks again to your beautiful family. Return again and again.

A great weekend in Nob Hill

I spent a weekend here and had a great time. While there is a great restaurant downstairs, and the great food smell waifs up, I most enjoyed the ability to walk to many great destinations. The location is close to the university. There are many fine dining choices within a few blocks as well night life with many night clubs just around the corner. The area has great shopping for trendy and unique items in the many boutiques and shops. The rental unit has all you need except the food. It has a well equipped kitchen with a coffee and an espresso maker. The walk in shower has a great pebble floor that seems to massage your soles and has a built in shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispenser with a shaving mirror. The double bed was comfortable and the sheets were some of the softest I have felt. There is a flat screen TV with cable and a DVD if you just feel like staying in. The decor made me think of Santa Fe with it's use of colors and design. There is an electric fireplace that adds just the right ambiance. There is even a washer and dryer if you plan on staying a while. Overall, I had a great experience in a great location and I highly recommend this location if you plan on visiting Albuquerque!

Owner response:Thanks Michael for choosing to stay at the Studios. I am happy you noticed the details. We put a lot of thought into the effort of making it into a small ideal place to stay. Please consider us upon your return to Albuquerque and thanks for the great review. Gaye

First Class Nob Hill Studio Apartment

Date of Stay: 09/01/11 Review Submitted: 09/07/11

My husband and I and his daughter and son-in-law rented two Nob Hill Studio apartments and were extremely impressed. All of the services and amenities were first class. It exceeded our expectations! The rooms were attractively decorated with all first class equipment. When we arrived, there were bottles of wine and chips and dips for us in our rooms. We would highly recommend Nob Hill Studio apartments to others and would certainly stay there again when coming back to Albuquerque, NM!

Owner response:Thanks for choosing the Studios for a common meeting place for your family. It is enjoyable to accommodate family members in more than one of the Studios, since all three are conveniently placed on one floor but all with their own kitchens and laundry facilities. Return next time you are in Albuquerque...repeat guests receive a 10% discount. Thanks again. Gaye
