This is a great spot for a solo traveler or couple looking to explore Albuquerque! Being right in Old Town made it easy to enjoy the shops and restaurants there, while also having easy access by the free city buses to other parts of the area. And Marie was a very communicative and accommodating host.

We have stayed in dozens of rentals over the years and fairly often we get to the place and wonder why the picture look so good but the rental does not. This was the opposite. It is spacious, well appointed, and extremely well located. The pans, unlike most places, are high quality and perfect and the knives were also high quality and sharp. We highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Old Town.

A hidden Gem.

It is amazing to me how central this location is to everything, yet extremely private. Truly hidden in a square block, and surrounded by local shops and incredible food. The place was larger than I expected and decorated with exceptional taste. I really felt like we had an authentic experience, and look forward to returning in the future.

Great location to spend a few days in the old town area. Place has parking and is set back from the road behind a business, making it very quiet. It is adjacent to the Church Street Cafe and very close to several restaurants including the Saw Mill Food Court which is about a 10 minute walk. We did not have a car and the nearest walkable (but not necessarily close) market was a not-very-good Lowes. Fresh salad and some select groceries at the in town Tiny Grocer ABQ. The casita has several steps within, so not very handicap friendly in my opinion. Well equipped kitchen and supplies. Very satisfied with my stay here, particularly how quiet and well located the place was, the Albuquerque Museum is within walking distance and the BioPark a short uber ride.

Great location and property

The property was clean and nicely decorated. While we did not use kitchen and utensils much, it looks great quality and stocked. Location was excellent and walking to neighborhood shops and cafes. Safe area too. We walked back to room at midnight and 2 am and felt safe. We were there for a multi day event at the hotel Albuquerque Would greatly recommend this for family of 4, for a long weekend or a quiet stay in old town. The owner was great to communicate with, very timely responses and whole process was easy and good.

Relaxing ABQ stay

Lovely 1bedroom with outdoor patio and pull out couch. 2 bathrooms with master bathroom being huge. Responsive owner. Electronic lock issue one day. The owner was at the door in 15 minutes. Very well decorated. Useful kitchen amenities. In the old town section. Walking distance to most. Would stay again if the need arose.

A real gem

This spacious casita has it all! First: location, location, location. It's on a quiet side street with easy access by car and foot. We ate around the corner at the owner's Old Town restaurant, a building with great history and amazing food. After walking around the neighborhood for an afternoon, it was nice to come back to a comfortable, pretty house. The bedding is comfy, and the master bath is memorable. Little personal touches made our stay deligtful. It's a practical house, with a well equipped kitchen. Marie is very helpful and responsive. Enjoy!

Kitchen had all that we needed except dish soap and maybe I just didn’t see it. No biggy. I usually take some with us because we use Sawn dish soap to get any stains out of clothes. The rooms, baths, showers were clean and nicely decorated. The king bed was comfortable on one side but the other side is perhaps not sitting on the bed frame properly so I kept rolling into the middle of the bed. Huge closet in the master and the washer and dryer were very helpful during this trip. We are older and had some difficulty with low lighting and seeing well, but we were gone all day and only there at night which didn’t help matters. We finally went and purchased some brighter bulbs and then took them out before we left. Overall a great stay and a beautiful little casita! Thank you Marie!
