Hello! We're Abinash and Shalini, and we're thrilled to welcome you to our award-winning home in Albuquerque.
As avid travelers ourselves, we know exactly what it takes to make a getaway truly special. We've been fortunate to explore cultures and outdoor experiences across the globe, from the fjords of Norway and the wildlife of the Galapagos to the trails of Iceland, the jungles of the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the streets of Paris.
Our passion for travel is why we love hosting: we get immense joy from connecting with people from across the world and sharing the unique beauty and culture of our home state, New Mexico.
Because we travel so frequently, we only open our home—this architectural retreat—a few times a year. When you stay here, you’re not just renting a space; you're experiencing a piece of our personal passion for design, luxury, and the joy of discovery. We hope our home serves as the perfect, luxurious base for your own memorable New Mexico adventure!

Why they chose this property
IThe Neighborhood Scene: Where History Meets Modernity
The energy of this location is what we enjoy most! Our home is situated in a quiet, unique pocket of the city, perfectly buffered by the greenery of Mary Fox Park. This gives you the peace and privacy of a neighborhood setting while placing you at the absolute intersection of Albuquerque’s best attractions.
Imagine this:
Morning: Step out the door and stroll through the park, perhaps grabbing a coffee from a nearby Downtown cafe. The neighborhood is alive with local residents walking dogs and enjoying the quiet start to the day.
Afternoon: Take a short 3-minute drive (or an easy walk) to Historic Old Town, immersing yourself in the beautiful adobe architecture, traditional plaza, and unique New Mexican shops. You can explore the museums and still be back for a dip in the hot tub before sunset.
Evening: Choose your flavor: Head East for a 5-minute drive to the bustling Downtown district for craft beers at a brewery or a high-end dinner. Alternatively, relax on our private patio with the fireplace crackling, enjoying the feeling of peaceful seclusion.
What we enjoy most is the connectivity and walkability. You get the beauty and history of Old Town, the modern amenities and nightlife of Downtown, and the convenience of quick access to the Biopark, all without sacrificing quiet park-side living. It truly is the premier base for exploring the heart of Albuquerque.
