Jody was very welcoming! This is a very charming home, nicely furnished, and plenty of room for the five of us staying there. The kitchen had most every tool, cookware and bakeware that you would need for cooking at home. The bedrooms and bathrooms had plenty of everything we needed as well. It was nice to find this home in the heart of Albuquerque as we were visiting family members who live there.

nice house close to UNM

What a nice house and the location was perfect for us. Our only regret was that we were busy attending a conference and didn't have much time to enjoy the house. I'd like to come back and spend more time there one of these days!

Family Trip for Graduation

We enjoyed the stay. The cleanliness of the home was spectacular. The area is quiet with a park around the corner. We had no issues checking in and were pleasantly surprised with local coffee and cookies. The location was within distance of shopping, restaurants and the Tingley Coliseum. Thank you!

Great home and location

We thought the listing looked nice, but we were even more excited to see it in person. This location and house was great! I loved how spread out the rooms were, and that there were two master bedroom suites. This worked great since we had us, our kids, and our parents all staying together.

A wonderful stay!

This house was just what we needed. We were pleased to have more than ample room for our family. It was conveniently located with a grocery store (Smith’s) in close proximity for driving. We had a lovely time in this quiet beautiful house. We enjoyed both courtyards as the sun moved over the house. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Albuquerque.

Incredibly peaceful stay

Gorgeous house with an open flow that offers two sectioned-off master suites, one with a full den. EVERYTHING here is top of the line, from bathroom fixtures to the beautiful kitchen. Has an incredible central patio with barbecue and a glorious backyard with a hammock. It's right by a park with a playground in a quiet neighborhood, within five/ten minutes from supermarkets, UNM, the airport, and nightlife. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Jody

Host profile image
Welcome to our rental. We initially bought this home to be close to our son and now live in another home in Albuquerque. We still care for this home as our own and do our own cleaning, yard work and maintenance.
Please reach out with any questions!
Jody and Eric

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is a quiet gem close to everything. The local park, Summit Park, is basically next door. New Whole Foods store close by for the extras as well as the Kroger/Smiths grocery store. Close to Nob Hill for fun/funky restaurants and the University. Close access to the interstates as well.
If you are a walker/runner it is a half mile to the University golf course where there is a path around it to complete a 3 mile loop from our front door!

What makes this property unique

A true 3 bedroom, 3 bath house with 2 different living spaces and lovely outdoor spaces for you to enjoy the fantastic SW weather! We put a lot of work into the yard and hope you enjoy it. If you are lucky enough to be here in the late summer, feel free to enjoy grapes right from the vine in the front courtyard.
