About this property

Modern Casita in Historic Downtown Albuquerque

Thanks for looking at our Mid-Century Modern, light-filled guesthouse nestled in a quiet neighborhood in downtown Albuquerque. The casita offers easy access to downtown restaurants, cafes, and nightlife and only a few blocks from the zoo, green spaces, and the Rio Grande river trail. Albuquerque's Old Town and its beautiful museums are within a short distance by bicycle or car. When you're not out exploring, relax in the secure and private courtyard. This rental is perfect for couples, retirees, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

"If all vacation rental properties were this lovely and well-appointed, hotels would go out of business.”

“This is a luxury space - art-filled, immaculately maintained.”

THE SPACE - This light-filled and cheerful casita has easy access to a private courtyard and reserved parking area, all on one level. Adjoining our home, this quiet and welcoming space is designed with your privacy in mind. Your private casita has a full kitchen and dining area that can double as a working space, a sitting area with Roku, cable television and a DVD player and a variety of DVDs, and a private courtyard with seating and water-feature. At the end of the day (or the beginning) enjoy a hot shower or a long luxurious soak in the steeping tub. Turn in at night in the expansive, medium-firm king-sized bed. This property has a very energy-efficient HERS rating of 50. The whisper-quiet split unit ensures you’ll be comfy on the chilliest of nights while staying cool in the summer.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD - The best of Albuquerque is right outside the door. This mixed-use neighborhood includes single-family homes, apartment buildings, bakeries, cafes, pubs and restaurants, parks, and nightlife on historic Route 66/Central Avenue. We love being able to bike or walk to the Bosque River Trail - a Cottonwood forest flanking the Rio Grande River. Within a few blocks: Many parks, river nature trail, Albuquerque Zoo, The Rail Yards market (seasonal), downtown Albuquerque, Route 66 shops, abundant restaurants and coffee shops, Silver Street Market, and the downtown Grower's Market (Saturday's mid-April – October).

Old Town, Tiguex Park, and museums are a short drive or bike ride away.

GETTING AROUND - The Rail Runner train and Greyhound bus station are seven blocks away. Local buses run regularly. Convenient bike rentals are available throughout the city. Lyft and Uber are also options.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What a beautiful place! Clean, updated, and the owner has thought of everything you need: dishes, snacks, tea selection, shampoo/conditioner…You get your own parking spot next to the garage and your own private patio with soothing sounds from the water feature. It was great for my morning coffee and book time. The bed was so comfortable, everything in the unit was labeled to avoid confusion, and it truly shows pride of ownership. Super convenient! Just a short walk from great breakfast spots and your choice of coffee shops. Owner was very welcoming and communicative. I would stay here again! Five star treatment!

The casita was perfect! It was tastefully decorated both inside and out. Our host Karen also provided a helpful guide book to recommended locations to see/eat/vist around Albuquerque. The casita was well stocked and had everything we needed except for on-site laundry facilities (which was OK....the guide book had recommendations for local laundromats, which was a fun experience, too!). The location was great and we really appreciated the driving directions and off-street parking. Five stars aren't enough! -Victoria

Lovely Unit

My short stay here was lovely and relatively quiet. (There were some fireworks going off as July 4th was within a few days). The unit is extremely well-appointed with all the necessary and extra amenities.

The property was great and the Daniels were fantastic!

The Daniels were very good hosts and tried to help out in a very difficult situation. On our second day there in Albuquerque my husband had a heart attack and was hospitalized. He’s OK and the Daniels did try to accommodate us in our need to extend our stay but were unable to facilitate an extension of our rental agreement. It wasn’t their fault and they tried their best to help us out. The Casita Amarilla was just as it was represented on VRBO. Very cute and clean and well appointed. The only thing that we were not 100% pleased with was the fact that there was no bar of bath soap My husband had to take a shower the first night using the liquid hand wash from the lavatory. But that was our only complaint. And the bed was very comfortable!
