About this house rental

Licensed in the City of Albuquerque, operating under permit #258764.

First the reference to the above city permit which allows us to operate this home as a short term rental. We strive to provide a comfortable, restful, and safe experience for our guests, and operate within the city's basic requirements. They are summarized as follows:

• Strict occupancy limits. For this home, the maximum occupancy is 6 persons, 12 years of age and older. Please contact us if you have additional children under12 years old to see if we can accommodate your entire party.

• Large-scale events prohibited. For example, the city will not allow weddings, large parties, etc.. Please contact us if you wish to host small gatherings that include additional people who are not in your party. In the past, we have accommodated small memorial services, graduation celebrations, wedding party dinners, and birthday parties that were not obtrusive to our neighbors and which were within the city's guidelines.

• Quiet time. Please no loud music or excessive noise from 10pm to 7am, local time.

• No commercial events. This rarely applies to our guests, but it is worth mentioning here. Events such as commercial photoshoots, movie filming, etc. are prohibited.

Guests that do not adhere to the city ordinance as noted above will be given an opportunity to cure the infraction; otherwise their reservation will be cancelled and no refund will be given.

And now back to our property description.

First of all, we are COMMITTED to CLEAN! Before we even describe the home, we know that our guests want to know how CLEAN the premises are. Even before COVID-19 hit our country, our guests praised our home for its cleanliness at check-in (feel free to check out our guest reviews). Here is the protocol we follow, including some enhancements we have made since the pandemic:

• We use cleaners and disinfectants approved by health agencies
• All surfaces are cleaned, mopped, or dusted before sanitizing
• All high-touch surfaces have been cleaned with germicidal wipes
• The remotes are enclosed in sleeves for easy disinfecting
• Each room is cleaned following our detailed checklist
• Cleaning supplies are left out for your use during your stay
• All bedding is washed using bleach. Duvet covers are washed between guests.
• All counter tops and tables are cleaned with germicidal products, and table runners washed
• All furniture is wiped down with germicidal products
• Floors are washed with a bleach solution
• All bathroom surfaces are cleaned with a germicidal solution
• All throws on the couches are washed between guests
• Southwest pillows that are not washable are sprayed with germicidal spray, and sterilized in the sun for several hours (if no sun, then they are put into storage not to be used for several days)

In concert with our cleanliness policy, smoking is strictly prohibited in the house or in close proximity to the house such that smoke could enter the house. If you do wish to smoke, please do so outdoors away from the premises. Please dispose of smoking materials safely in the outdoor garbage bin.

We allow pets with an additional pet fee. Cats are not permitted (guest allergic reactions), and certain dog breeds are not permitted for safety and insurance reasons (e.g. Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, etc.). If you have questions about our pet policy, please contact us.

This is a beautiful newly renovated southwest styled home tucked into a quiet community. Southwest living at its finest in 1900 square feet. 2 bedroom, 2 bath, a queen pullout in the living room (the living room can be closed off and made private), and a pullout in the den (note: the den is not a private room). Easily accommodates 6.

Fully furnished kitchen, all stainless-steel appliances and granite counter tops. We provide a gift pack of snacks and beverages for the hungry arrivers, a Keurig and a regular coffee maker with starter coffees and teas, coffee grinder for those who prefer to grind their own beans, paper goods, spices, place settings for 12, pots, pans, cookie sheets, baking pans, blender, crock pot, hand mixer, and (quite possibly) every utensil you might need to make a great meal or two.

Full-sized washer/dryer. Fireplace in the living room (some firewood supplied), wood stove in the sun room, and a propane firepit on the patio. Eat breakfast in the warmth and brightness of a giant skylight, or grill outside on the private patio, or relax in the sunroom.

Or, as many of our guests rave about, enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sunset reflect off the Sandia Mountains from the privacy of your own ROOFTOP PATIO.

We're just a short walk to Starbucks, Whole Foods, and a great hamburger spot with a delicious happy hour. There are several great restaurants close by representing many wonderful ethnic cuisines. There are biking and jogging paths nearby that you don't need to drive to. We're about 5 minutes from a great municipal golf course (Arroyo del Oso) and 10 minutes from a Scott Miller-designed golf course at the Sandia Resort and Casino. It's 10 minutes to one of the world's longest trams, the Sandia Peak Tram. 10 minutes to the La Luz hiking trail and Elena Gallegos Open Space in the foothills. Bring your cameras!

It's a short drive to shopping, theater complexes, SO MANY restaurants, Albuquerque Old Town, the zoo, the botanical gardens, museums, our fantastic Triple-A ballpark, the Bosque, and other fun places in the city. If you're here for Balloon Fiesta, you're 5 minutes from a park-and-ride and about 10 minutes from Balloon Fiesta Park. If you want to take the scenic train ride into Santa Fe, you're 10 minutes from the Rail Runner. And if you're here for little skiing, use our home as your launching pad to the Sandia Peak Ski Area, Santa Fe Ski Basin, Pajarito Mountain, or the famous Taos Ski Valley.

We're close to major streets and freeways that open up a whole new world of New Mexico adventures, whether you want to drive the Turquoise Trail, visit Santa Fe, explore the nation's oldest continuously inhabited settlement at Acoma Pueblo, walk among the Tent Rocks, try your luck at several casinos or take in their shows, do a little stream fishing, or explore our beautiful Land of Enchantment on your own.

Vacationing? Extended business? Family visits? Moving to Albuquerque and want to "test drive" our community? There's no quieter, more convenient location than El Rio Hondo.

Merv and Brenda were great! They made sure we had what we needed. They were prompt returning messages when we had a question (before and during the trip). The house was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed. The roof top deck was fabulous! We will stay here again if we are in the area.

I needed a comfortable and well-laid-out home in which to recuperate from hip surgery, and this was the perfect spot! Spotlessly clean, comfortable, quiet, and so well stocked. They even provided a toilet riser and shower chair for me, and checked in to see how my surgery went. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, there are nice outdoor spaces to enjoy, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you, Merv and Brenda!
