What a lovely week here. The place has everything one needs, is clean, well-stocked, in a great location, and has a beautiful sunset view from the back patio. Easy to walk out the door and head east for a walk through the open space.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures right up the street from the Apartment! Beautiful!
Stay was amazing. House is awesome with a great view of mountains and sunset! Very close to many stores and restaurants 10/10 gonna stay here again whenever I come back to Albuquerque!
Great host, fantastic home with all amenities. The Brita water pitcher in fridge with everything provided for all you can drink coffee was so appreciated. For once we didnt have to go out and buy a case of water. We will use again, thank you Jake!
Would definitely stay here again, everything was exactly as listed and very thought through. Check in and check out was super easy, beds were comfortable, and location was super convenient.
We had a couple of glitches with the stay but Jake was extremely attentive and fixed everything. I stay in ABQ many times per year and will continue to seek out Jake and his properties for my stays here.
Overall very clean and well appointed condo. Smooth check in process and good communication. Very convenient location to activities, hiking, shopping, bars and restaurants. Only downside was proximity to major road (a little loud on patio) and the view was only seen when standing. If you sat down on patio you were staring at concrete wall. Overall, I would stay here again.
The property owner answered right away. The location close to the mountain was beautiful . Enjoyed the patio very much . Would definitely stay here again .
Cute place with parking and nice view of the city. Enjoyed our stay

About the host
Hosted by Jake Aragon
I have lived in Albuquerque most of my life and love it because of the wide open spaces. I am a retired retail manager that spent 27 years working for a major retailer. In those 27 years, I really learned how to take care of my guests! I am now doing something I love in providing great experiences for my guests that stay in our home. I have been married to my lovely wife for going on 20 years and have two girls ages 15 and 9. I love to spend most of my free time traveling. We love exploring or spending time at the lake, river, or beach. I pride myself on being available for my guests any time by responding quickly to calls, texts, and emails.

The home is also convenient to I-40 which will take you to I-25 to spend the day in Santa Fe or anywhere else you want to visit.
