Traveling with a BABY? Ask me about renting baby equipment for your stay so you can pack and travel lighter!
Guest Access:
During your stay you will have access to the entire apartment and the shared courtyard. There is a parking lot in front of the complex - there are no designated spots, however there is a space reserved for #8.
Other things to Note:
2nd floor - no elevator
Ring Camera installed outside (this is the only camera) - we use this to monitor guest count and for security purposes.
Large Garbage container located behind the complex
Possibility for noise - apartments are part of an 8plex
Low Flow Toilets - do not flush anything other than small amounts of toilet paper
Air conditioner - please do not run temp lower than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The compressor can easily freeze causing damage or HOT air to blow in.
A lockbox is located on the premises to open the front door.
The complex is regularly treated with non-toxic pest repellent. Still, this property is located in a historic neighborhood in the desert. Bugs are a part of life here in the southwest. While we make every effort to stay on top of pest control and keep the apartments spotless for guests, we cannot completely control nature and therefore you may see the occasional bug. Please be aware of this and make sure you're ok with the possibility before booking.
Parking space is available as directed in the check-in guide. We are not responsible for tickets issued, cars towed/booted or any damage to guest’s vehicles while at the parking lot whether from casualty or negligent or intentional wrongful acts of other guests or third parties. Guest waives any and all claims, damages, and/or causes of action for personal injury or property damage against us (the host) and the parking company for use of the parking lot. We are not responsible for any articles left in vehicles.
The nieghborhood:
We love the historic feel and the charm that Old Town delivers. It's always enjoyable to slow down and spend time strolling through the square and the numerous shops and restaurants available. We feel perfectly safe walking around Old Town both day and night, just sticking to the immediate blocks around the plaza, and around Rio Grande Blvd. Going from Central towards Downtown does have some isolated stretches so it is recommended to use common safety sense as you would in any big city.
Distance to:
Airport: 9 miles
Balloon Fiesta Part: 12 miles (we recommend park-n-ride)
Hotel Albuquerque: 4min walk
UNM: 3.5 miles
Old Town: 2 min walk
Fairgrounds: 8miles
Convention Center: 2 miles
Location is perfect for walking to Old town and surrounding restaurants. Walk score of 84 out of 100. This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot.
Bike score of 87 (very bikeable, flat as a pancake, good bike lanes). There is a bike rental shop within walking distance and also electric scooters on the street.
Uber, Lyft and Taxi's are always available.
There is a bus system - you can plan your ride here:
