This was a great place to stay and explore the area. We enjoyed the hot tub and arcade games. Also it was easy to get to the walking trails along the river during the day.
Perfect little oasis right in the heart of Albuquerque. The rental feels safe, secure and private. We were grateful to have such a welcoming place to stay during our visit.
Check in went smoothly and effortlessly. House is very clean with attractive decorations. Very quiet and great location. Gated driveway made us feel very secure.
We LOVED this place! Very thoughtfully designed, clean and well-equipped with the essentials. Communication with host was very timely and clear with the details we needed. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.
My daughter, granddaughter and I stayed at this wonderful property when we came to town to visit the zoo and the natural history museum. The property is convenient, spotless, adorable and we felt safe. The hosts thought if everything we might need and were very responsive.
Better than advertised. Hot tub was clean, house is cute and easy and it’s right across the street from Bosque trails and near downtown and great Barelas attractions. Will rebook!
The check-in process was super easy and the house was extremely clean and well equipped. The neighborhood was close to attractions such as the zoo, botanical gardens and aquarium. The neighborhood is mixed income.
We loved our stay! The cottage was quiet and relaxing, while still being close to Albuquerque's historical district and downtown. The hot tub was just right, and the host was extremely responsive to our requests. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Albuquerque!
Safe and superb. Great hot tub and felt like a retreat right in the heart of the city. About 20 steps from the Rio Grande River trail system for hiking, walking, biking, and down the street from the zoo, botanical garden, Sawmill district, museums, and downtown. Great responsive hosts as well. Recommended!
