What a beautiful casita! Everything was absolutely perfect — so well appointed and beautifully decorated, an oh-so-comfortable bed, coffee in the morning, and privacy galore. The house and grounds are spacious with a lovely park with a half a block with a lovely walking/running track. David was so welcoming and friendly —and a true dog lover. Gracie was in heaven with the outside area to lounge around in. I look forward to our next trip to Albuquerque. This is the only place we’d stay!

Very clean, comfortable, well-appointed, spacious property with full kitchen and bathroom on each level. Pet-friendly. Quiet location, away from major traffic, but still accessible to major highways, attractions, shopping & restaurants. Host was very gracious, patient, and available when we had a question. We had a positive experience & would book again.

Great safe location. Very clean and wonderfully decorated. Highly recommend this casita. Easy to get to anywhere in Albuquerque. I have rented quite a few vrbo rentals all over the country and this will be in my top 3 list.

Lovely & Serene

This property was so nice and peaceful in a very beautiful neighborhood. The casita is a stand alone property next the owner's home but they are not connected. The grounds were so lovely and the weather was perfect! I loved that they had green grass for my dog Max! The inside was warm and cozy with lots of room and it had everything I needed. I hope to return again soon! I had a wonderful stay!

Little Bird Casita was too wonderful for words! Our hosts, David and Joanie, were extremely hospitable and communication was great. The casita was filled with beautiful art, giving us a sweet sense of the culture and history of the Southwest. Every little amenity was carefully incorporated into that lovely space. Little Bird was the perfect location for our base as we enjoyed Albuquerque and daily explored other NM cities. Some of our favorite discoveries were the New Mexico Museum of Geology & Mineral Resources, the Nuclear Museum, The Indian Pueblo Culture Museum (a must see! And, there is a nice restaurant there!), the Ice Cave and Bandera Volcano, the Sandia Peak Tramway, the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, the NM History Museum (and all things Santa Fe!), Taos shopping, White Sands National Park, Pistachioland, the Jemez Pueblo (gorgeous fall color and lovely local people!), Soda Dam, Battleship Park, Red Rock, Valles Caldera, the Petroglyph National Monument, The Back Country Trail, and hiking the mountain trails as well as the walking trail behind the casita! It was so nice to come back to the comfort and beauty of Little Bird at the end of each fun day. We highly recommend this VRBO. It could not have been more perfect!

Cute little bird.

This casita is described as a 2 bedroom and it is not. There is a bedroom upstairs and a pullout sofa downstairs with no door. The coffee maker was filthy and the countertop was dirty. I recommend bringing some Clorox wipes. The decor was darling and the art work is beautiful. It was nice to see all the stars ⭐️ at night.

Gem

This is an excellent rental. A real gem! It was clean, well supplied, roomy, comfortable bed, great in every way. Very peaceful. There is a balcony. We so much enjoyed sitting there in the afternoon, reading and watching birds. Even a Road Runner made a few visits! This location is great! We are bird watchers. We were able to easily get to a number of bird watching hot spots. Stores and restaurants were close by. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. We highly recommend this rental.

Short and sweet

We arrived later in the evening after dark so the owner of the property came out of his adjacent main home next the VRBO to direct us since it was difficult seeing. He seemed nice. We left around 5:30 the following morning before the same came up so obviously we did not stay long but everything was clean and as expected so no problems there. It did a great job of serving us for what we needed it for.
