You are welcome back anytime! Outstanding guests, easy to communicate with, and left the home in excellent shape. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ !
This was such a cool, kitschy house! It was easy to get to all the attractions we wanted to visit. This was the perfect place for our family and our 3 year old was obsessed with the kids room and its toys. The check in process was so easy and whenever we had questions we got a very quick response.

Thank you for your great review! Thank you for taking the best of care of my home, and I appreciate it very much!
You are welcome back on any future trips to Albuquerque!
The house had plenty of space for us and our dogs liked the fenced in backyard. Freshly remodeled. Set in a quiet older neighborhood and is close to lots of shopping. Everything we wanted to do was a 10-20 minute drive.
We just spent 3 nights in this beautiful, comfortable home. The house is immaculate, cozy, well-appointed with the most comfy beds. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to lots of restaurants and shops in the Uptown area. We will 100% stay again!

What makes this property unique
Whether staying for a few days, few weeks or a few months, this home provides total comfort and plenty of indoor & outdoor space. We updated and upgraded the home with quality materials, fixtures, floors, hardware, and did not cut corners, and this includes the furnishings, compared to many vacation rentals where owners end up using furniture pieces that are too small or not functional. The property sleeps up to 6 adults comfortably, so the living room is furnished with a large sectional sofa and arm chair that easily provides seating for 6+ adults; the dining room table & patio table also seat 6 comfortably. The kitchen is fully stocked with attractive/matching dishware, glassware, silverware, pots/pans, baking sheets, cooking utensils, coffee maker & coffee pods, Ninja air fryer, and other small appliances. There is a full size washer & dryer that guests are welcome to use, along with iron/ironing board, and basic cleaning supplies, vacuum, mop, etc. Extra sets of high thread count bedding and ample topnotch bathroom towels are included. The backyard is fully landscaped with a mature lawn, fire pit area, outdoor fireplace, covered patio, multiple outdoor seating areas, hammock, planting beds, outdoor lighting, and gas BBQ Grill. There are Smart TVs in each bedroom and the Living Room, along with Roku's, and no additional charge for High Speed Xfinity WIFI.
We have worked hard to anticipate our guests' needs and deliver a space that we would find comfortable if we were visiting and staying there.
