The host was attentive and communicated very well. The back yard was AWESOME! My kids loved it! Quiet nieghborhoos and everything was close by! The house was newly remodeled and it was great!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Del Centro. The property’s location was ideal for attending our granddaughter’s Nutcracker performance and provided convenient access to Albuquerque’s attractions. The home was exceptionally clean, well-equipped, and featured a private backyard that we used daily thanks to favorable weather. The game room was especially appreciated by our visiting grandchildren. We would gladly return in the future!
Great property. Rooms were spacious and the kids loved the backyard and arcade room. Very close to the bio-park and zoo. Also pretty close to Explora. Will recommend to others.
Great place for our long weekend in Albuquerque. Clean and plenty of room. Cool artwork in the backyard and kids loved the game room. Close to downtown and zoo.
The host was always quick to respond. The house was decorated very nicely. It was a great house for our group. It had everything we needed. We are looking forward to visiting again!

Hello Anna, thank you for the kind review you and your crew are welcome back anytime (=
The house was very clean and nicely set up. We really enjoyed the game room with the arcade machine. Most importantly, the owners kept in touch with us and left their cell phone number in case we needed anything.

Thank you Lyndon for taking the time to share your thoughts and choosing to stay in our home. We welcome you back anytime.
House was super clean and roomy. Lots of games and great playground for the kids. Anthony the host was responsive and nice. Close to downtown, children’s museum and with in walking distance to Albuquerque zoo. If it wasn’t for neighborhood, we would give this place a 5 star rating. Lots of homeless people walking around, but they did keep to themselves.
Everything was perfect! Had a little trouble getting in but the problem was resolved within minutes. The kids loved the play area out back and the beds were comfortable! Thank you!

Thank you Carianne! I really appreciate the review. We hope to be able to host you again sometime. Please come back to see us.
Our stay was excellent. Anthony was very accommodating and very friendly. The property was perfect for our Family and Grandchildren. The home was very clean inside and out. It felt like home, everything needed was there. The outside play ground equipment the children loved, the play room was loved by all the family. The beds slept good. We loved the property, we’ll be back!
The property was easily located and close to the airport as well as downtown. We especially liked how close to the zoo the house was.
Owner checked in throughout to offer support which was much appreciated. Very good rental for the price point.
We were in town for my daughters gymnastic meet. The kids loved the house from the outdoor games to the arcade room. House was in close proximity to everything we want to see and do.
This place was great. The host was always making sure if we needed anything during our stay and always checking up on us. The neighborhood was very quiet. My daughter loved the playset in the backyard and I enjoyed playing the the arcade games. Overall this place and host were really great.

Thank you Ruben for the kind words and taking the time to share your review. I'm glad we could accommodate you and your family. If you are ever back in Albuquerque, we look forward to hosting you again.
We stayed at this property to be close to the Isleta Amphitheater for an event. The four bedrooms provided ample space for seven adults to stay comfortably. The backyard had a nice table and patio area. And we had a great time playing the arcade games! Home was clean and beds were very comfortable. Neighborhood was in the south part of town but was quiet.
This property was awesome. We had four adults and five children. The children's ages ranged from 7 years old to 15 years old. They loved the arcade and we had a hard time getting them to go away from all the activities in the backyard to explore more of what Albuquerque had to offer.
We really enjoyed this place. It was clean and exactly as it was described on the listing.

Hey Dallas! Thank you so much for your stay! We’d love to host you again soon!
We stayed there in the middle of a heat wave and the AC broke. The owner immediately had service people to help, it was 10pm and he got someone over in 20 minutes. These things happen and Elijah consistently checked in and because of the inconvenience offered a discount. We will stay with him again.

Hey Danny! Thank you so much for your honest review! We hate that you had to be there for such an unfortunate circumstance but I’m to inform you and any other guests that, that issue was resolved the same week as your checkout. Thank you for being a great guest!
Stress free❤️ Owner responsive to email and text inquiry. Allowed us to check in earlier. Anthony was very helpful. Location is perfect👍 There were 8 of us seniors. Plenty of space. Kitchen great. All love this home. We enjoyed shopping at the Old Town. Oldest Catholic church in Albuquerque located in Old Town is beautiful. We visited it often. Highly recommened

Hey Virgincita! We’re so glad you loved your stay! Please don’t hesitate to come back and see us soon!
We checked in late with no issues. There was enough parking for our two trucks and trailers inning the street parking. The only disappointments I had was a confusion and was looking for the address as SE and it was SW. Once we got that figured out we found the house. Also we had 6 adults and I misunderstood that there were five separate bedrooms, there was one with a ull out couch and we were expecting a real bed. It would have been a great place for a family with kids. The games and the backyard were awesome. We loved the fire pit table. Thanks.
As advertised! Clean, normal, nice things on the property. Awesome appliances and furniture. We needed both the AC and the heat and it worked perfectly. So clean. Beds were comfortable with very nice sheets and pillows. Furniture clean and real sized. Loved the different areas to visit in with our crowd. Backyard was great. Game room was great. We had 11 people and it worked out great. We felt safe the entire visit. Owner was available for questions the entire time.

If you’re staying with me, expect a space that feels like home.
Why they chose this property
✨ Why We Chose This Home We chose this home for its location, layout, and the way it naturally brings people together. Being just minutes from some of Albuquerque’s best spots made it an easy decision—but what really stood out was how comfortable and functional the space feels for families and groups. The home has a welcoming, lived-in warmth with a layout that allows everyone to spend time together while still having space to spread out. It’s a place that has been well cared for over the years, and that sense of comfort and purpose is something we wanted to preserve. Outside, the private yard and large parking area were a huge plus—giving guests room to relax, play, and gather without feeling crowded. We designed this space with intention—to create a home that feels easy, inviting, and perfect for making memories.
