About this property
Nob Hill’s Casa Flamingo: King & Queen beds, Safe, Prime Location, Large Yard.
Beautifully remodeled, 1400 sq ft, w/ 3 bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queens), 2 bathrooms, keyless entry, central heating, refrigerated cooling (NOT a swamp cooler).
This house was built in 1941, and has been in my family for 81 years (it is the childhood home of my stepfather, “Dr. Flamingo” - the flamingo theme is a tribute to him).
My property was completely remodeled now featuring:
-A new kitchen w/ all new appliances,
-2 brand new bathrooms,
-Sound insulated windows throughout the house,
-All new plumbing,
-A new electrical panel.
-A new heating/air conditioning system (**refrigerated air & NOT a swamp cooler, as my guests comfort is my #1 priority).
*This amazing property is historical BUT fully updated, lessening the likelihood of any annoying issues during your stay.
Casa Flamingo also received a gorgeous exterior makeover, including new stucco, artistically colored concrete, and beautiful landscaping in the front and backyard.
My home was designed and decorated with a Southwestern vibe, featuring plastered walls painted in warm desert tones, local Native American artwork, pottery, and Mexican serape's. If you want to “feel” like you are staying in New Mexico, this is the authentic Southwestern house for you!
I’m constantly reinvesting in my property, adding decor, fun “touches” and amenities to elevate my guest’s experience. My home is most often described as: comfortable, peaceful, inviting, beautiful, and most important CLEAN. Casa Flamingo has a ton of character and personality- I hope you love it as much as I do.
APD vehicles are parked on the street, right next to my home - Officers with the Albuquerque Police Department live next door (talk about feeling safe!!!). I also have 2 security cameras on the roof of my home, facing the street & driveway (NO cameras inside, nor in or facing the backyard).
The entire home, the large fenced in backyard and a 2 car driveway are available to guests.
The home features a key less entry keypad and deadbolt, for easy self-checkin. I will provide the door codes around noon on the day of your arrival. I am available during your stay, and more than happy to answer questions, simply message me through the site. I'm minutes away and can be here if I am requested/needed otherwise, I will not bother you.
Netflix (my account), and antenna channels, are available on all 4 TVs throughout my home (in addition to Samsung Smart TV channels in the living room).
I provide a Cuisinart coffee pod machine (as well as a regular coffee maker), with an assortment of Kcups, sweetners, creamer, and teas.
Children are welcome and I have a few amenities, as well as electrical outlet covers, but my home is NOT “child proofed” (though I’m more than happy to move decor if requested to).
Caution Areas:
- I have 2 steps going down to the laundry room, and to the EnSuite bedroom.
- I have cacti, and yucca plants in the front, and in the backyard, as well as an agave plant. Please be sure your little ones avoid these small but prickly plants (touching them will hurt). Renters assume full responsibility for the safety of their children when staying on the property.
I have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout my home, as well as a first aid kit, and a fire extinguisher (both under kitchen sink).
*LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION* Casa Flamingo is 6 miles from the airport and located in Nob Hill, near UNM school/hospital, Pope Joy, Presbyterian, State Fair Grounds, & The Downs Racing. Trendy Nob Hill centers on the iconic Route 66, featuring a concentration of diverse locally owned restaurants, within an eclectic shopping district. You will find beer pubs, antique shops, small galleries, a CoOp, and unique boutiques lining Central Ave (Route 66).
Ask any local and they will tell you, Nob Hill is a highly sought after area, and it’s where you want to stay in ABQ. Even cooler, my home is located in the “College View Historic District”, a quiet, safe, and culturally significant area, within Nob Hill. This special district is a 4 block x 4 block section of homes boasting historic examples of Territorial and Pueblo Revival styles, as well as early classic Mediterranean. The neighborhood is established, charming and quiet with a walk score of 85 “very walkable”. A Humble Coffee shop, M’Tucci’s & The Farmacy, are just a few of the many restaurants within walking distance, along with bars, shops, and stores just a few blocks away. I provide a notebook containing my food recommendations including, Scalo, and Tia B’s La Waffleria as well as fun souvenir shopping at “Masks y Mas”. A gorgeous historic Catholic church is located just down the street and a police officer lives next door - you will feel very safe here.
**NO HOT TUB/WHIRLPOOL HERE (this website is glitchy & will not allow me to remove/update the info!!!). This is a beautiful, newly remodeled home, located in one of the best neighborhoods in the city - you will love the Casa Flamingo 🦩 experience.

About the host
Hosted by Aura Alzate
I'm an outgoing native New Mexican, who is half Colombian. I have a son, and I love to travel, to cook, and to host dinner parties for family and friends.
I worked in both Human Resources and in IT before getting my Masters degree, last year. After all that hard work I realized I was really dissatisfied with "corporate America" and needed a change.
A couple of years ago, I went on a family vacation across Florida, staying at multiple Airbnb's, and loved the experience. I decided I'd truly enjoy hosting and when the opportunity arose this year, I jumped at the chance (super bad timing because the pandemic hit shortly after ....but hey, that's life!).
I value quality customer service, cleanliness/hygiene, communication, and anticipating the needs of my guests. I want you to have an amazing, memorable stay at my home and to come back!

Why they chose this property
*LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION* Ask any local and they will tell you, Nob Hill is a highly sought after area, and it’s where you want to stay in ABQ. Even cooler, my home is located in the “College View Historic District”, a quiet, safe, and culturally significant area, within Nob Hill. This special district is a 4 block x 4 block section of homes boasting historic examples of Territorial and Pueblo Revival styles, as well as early classic Mediterranean.
Various restaurants are within walking distance of my home, and I provide a notebook containing my recommendations including, Scalo, Farmacy & Tia B’s La Waffleria.
Trendy Nob Hill centers on the iconic Route 66, featuring a concentration of diverse locally owned restaurants, within an eclectic shopping district. You will find beerpubs, antique shops, small galleries, a CoOp, and unique boutiques lining Central Ave (Route 66). Spend an afternoon searching for fun gifts and awesome souvenirs within the many shops (be sure to check out, “Masks y Mas”).
A police officer lives next door.

What makes this property unique
This house was built in 1941, and has been in my family for 81 years (it is the childhood home of my stepfather, “Dr. Flamingo” - the flamingo theme is a tribute to him).
My property was completely remodeled and now features:
-A new kitchen outfitted w/ a brand new dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave and gas stove.
- A new washer and dryer, as well as a large water heater.
-2 brand new bathrooms.
-Sound insulated windows throughout the house,
-All new plumbing,
-A new electrical panel.
-A new heating/air conditioning system (*I have refrigerated air & NOT a swamp cooler, as my guests comfort is a top priority).
***This amazing property is historical BUT fully updated, lessening the likelihood of annoying issues during your stay.***
I’m constantly reinvesting in my property, adding decor, fun “touches” and amenities to elevate my guest’s experience. You will find multiple smart TV’s throughout the house, a beautiful electric fireplace, comfortable beds/bedding, a large dining table to accommodate six, washer & dryer for guests use, a nice gas grill, and a fire pit with plenty of seating. Artistically colored concrete and beautiful landscaping in the front and backyard await your arrival.
If you want to “feel” like you are staying in New Mexico, this is the authentic Southwestern house for you!
As a detail oriented, “single unit” host, Casa Flamingo is meticulously maintained. The house is regularly described as: comfortable, peaceful, inviting, beautiful, and most important CLEAN. This fun property has a ton of character and personality- I hope you love it as much as I do.
APD vehicles are parked on the street, right next to my home - Officers with the Albuquerque Police Department live next door (talk about feeling safe!!!). I also have 2 motion activated security cameras w/ audio, on the roof of the house, facing the street & driveway (NO cameras inside, nor in, or facing the backyard).
