We had a great time staying in Carlos and Kristin's home! There was plenty of space for a larger group like us, the house was very clean and stocked with all necessities, and anything we were missing or questions we had were promptly addressed by the hosts. We wish we had more time to take advantage of the amenities, such as the hot tub or simply enjoying the beautiful view from the deck. I would gladly stay here again if I were to come back to the ABQ area!

Hi Susan! Thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry we were unable to give you a 5 star experience. The frying pans were in a drawer in the island and the hot mitt was in the drawer next to the stove. We will consider putting them in a different location for easier finding. We hope you will consider staying with us again. Thank you!

This was a nice house overall. We enjoyed our stay very much. I think the house could have used a little more supplies, but that is typical of most rentals.
