Guest Access:

One of the highlights of this Airbnb is the private hot tub, where you can soak away your cares under the vast New Mexico sky.

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!

Great place, close to Old Town

We enjoyed our stay at Prickly Pear. The place was very clean and had nice amenities that other properties sometimes don't offer (like snacks at arrival, robes for the hot tub, waters in the fridge). The owners were very helpful and quick to answer any questions and checked in through email to make sure we had everything we needed.
