About this property
Private house in a safe area, close to Nob Hill, UNM, Airport, Netflix, and KAFB
Thank you for your interest! Our place is nestled in the Nob Hill/Ridgecrest area, walking distance to several gorgeous parks, and minutes away from the airport, schools, dining, shopping, and entertainment. Whether you’re in town for business or pleasure, our casita is set up to give you all of the comforts of home.
Please review our house rules: *NO PARTIES: People not accounted for on your reservation are not permitted on our property. There are cameras on the exterior of the property for our protection and yours. *NO PETS: (including ESA animals). While we love animals, we do not accept pets so we can offer an hypo-allergenic environment for all of our guests. *This home is not suitable for children under 5. The yard is not completely fenced in, the furniture is not secured to the walls, nothing is child-proofed and we have clay walls. *NO ILLICIT DRUGS/ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES: 420 is OK outside but if you're planning on using anything else, please do it elsewhere.
THE SPACE: We hope you’ll find our home stylish, comfortable, functional and sparkling clean! This home has been completely renovated from the studs up in 2018 with new plumbing, electrical, custom clay walls, and stainless steel appliances. In Sept. 2019, it was furnished with all brand new mid-century modern furniture, textiles, linens, bedding, and kitchenware. Between all guests, the casita is professionally cleaned top to bottom (by a pro cleaner, who we pay well). The interior and exterior are routinely sprayed with a non-toxic pesticide by a professional company. Creepy critters are a part of the ecosystem in the southwest and while we do what we can to keep them away, you are likely to encounter a bug while in Albuquerque/ABQ/Alburquirky/DukeCity/Burque/The505/Alburqueerky/Tamalewood. That said, we have not encountered bugs inside the house.
GUEST ACCESS: Guests will have private access to the entire house, yard, and driveway.
We have 2) bedrooms with doors 1) bedroom that has 2 sofa beds and doesn't have a door 2) full bathrooms, 3) Large Closets, a large smart TV in the living room, a smart TV in the Master bedroom, a gas fireplace, a small workstation (OK, it's a closet that we decided is a work station), and internet that works well inside the house (it's a little spotty outside at times).
There is a full kitchen, stocked with spices, oil, coffee/tea, and all the tools you would need to cook an awesome meal, a washer & dryer free of charge and detergent.
Parking is super easy! There is a long driveway that you could easily fit 2) Ford F-150s in or could accommodate a truck and a small trailer, there is also ample free street parking.
The only areas off-limits are the 3 small closets marked "PRIVATE", one is located next to the front door, one is in the front bedroom and the other is next to the laundry door. There is ample room in the remaining large 3) closets to comfortably accommodate 6 people. The garage is also not available to guests.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house was exactly as I expected it to be. Clean, cozy, easy check in / check out policy. I had a lovely time staying at the house. I will book again!!
Beautiful home with all the accommodations in a safe location. It was convenient to all our needs. Home was cozy and clean. Would love to stay here again. Host from the start was easy to contact and the communication was fast. Would definitely recommend this stay.
This casita is in a lovely neighborhood, is comfortable, clean, well furnished for cooking, and has a great backyard for relaxing over drinks! It is also close to main roads leading into town.
We really enjoyed our stay! The house is very comfortable, functional and well equipped. It is also very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. The host is wonderful, very welcoming and responsive.
Amazing property, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, many cozy places to enjoy each other's company, and the location is great. My best friend and I enjoyed a girl's weekend here. Very clean and comfy!
We loved the location…easy access to everything. Beds were comfy, all the amenities were there. We didn’t cook anything..too busy with stuff to do! Very spacious too. Only drawback was the downstairs bathroom light was too dim to put on makeup!
We had a great stay! The house was perfect for an extended weekend. It was clean and very well stocked with all the essentials. The host was very responsive too!
this VRBO was perfect, excellent in all aspects.very comfortable, great location, good communication w/the host! easy and convenient. highly recommend!
This house was just what we needed after a long day out and about! The inside was fantastic and the backyard was enjoyable even in the hot afternoons and evenings!!
Awesome property! Came here to visit my son in the Air Force for the holiday and this location was perfect. It had all the amenities we needed and was very clean. It's located near shopping and only minutes away from the airport. The hostess is great and very responsive. I would use this location again if I territories and it's available.
Hands down my favorite stay in Albuquerque! The backyard felt like a little slice of paradise—perfect for unwinding with a book as the sun set. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and every detail made our stay feel special. We didn’t want to leave!
House was lovely. Close to the airport. Great covered patio that was wonderful to relax on. It was a wonderful place to stay while we explored Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos. Would certainly stay here again!
The house was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing on the patio. The only inconvenience was not having a working outlet in either bathroom.
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025
Response from VrboOwner on Oct 13, 2025
We're very sorry that you experienced an issue with the bathroom outlets. There was a circuit that was tripped. This issue has been resolved.
Very nicely decorated and comfortable. Perfect size for 3-4 adults.

About the host
Your host
The Glam Casita is our beloved 2nd home in Albuquerque. I work as a video producer and my partner is a Psychologist with a private practice specializing in individual & couples therapy. We both love to travel and have had such a positive experience with renting other people's homes, that we decided to try out hosting. We hope you will enjoy our casita as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We have worked hard to furnish this newly renovated home with stylish creature comforts and quality kitchenware and linens. Our neighborhood is safe, generally quiet and we have friendly and respectful neighbors on all sides.
What makes this property unique
Our place is only a 5-minute drive to the airport (aka Sunport)! We're also close to Kirtland, ABQ Studios, Nob Hill, UNM and many hospitals.
