This property is super cute and we had everything we needed for our short stay. It was close enough to walk to museums and the plaza but the neighborhood was quiet. We would stay again.

Our four-night stay was so enjoyable. Proximity to Old Town is perfect yet it is so quiet in the casa. We found everything we wanted ( French press cork screw extra blanket etc) it was 100 degrees outside but the air conditioning worked great. I have already recommended this place to friends and family.

Great accommodations that exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend this property. Our single night stay was a delight. Quiet neighborhood, that is conveniently located to restaurants and the highway.

How fortunate we feel to have found the ideal home for our recent vacation to Albuquerque! Just blocks (yes, walking distance) to great shopping, museums and cultural arts, we enjoyed using a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and the bedrooms and bath. The yard is fenced and gated with a lock - a nice feature if you're anxious in that way. Most important for us with a disabled son, Sam was incredibly accommodating and flexible with certain aspects of our stay. So appreciate him! Can't wait to revisit.

We loved our short stay. We have small children and the fenced in yard was great (there is also a pack n play and toys in the closets)! The kitchen had anything and everything you could need.

This is one of the nicest VRBO rentals we have ever stayed in. The house is very peaceful with cool, historic charm and a great fenced in yard and outdoor area. The neighborhood was quiet, and we were really close to all of the museums and a large nearby park. We are already planning to come back for a longer stay!

Stayed a couple of nights while exploring NM. Everything worked well, plenty of towels, dishes, etc. The AC was amazing even in NM summer heat! Good location in Old Town area, felt secure and safe. TV & wifi both worked well also. If in this part of NM again we’ll be back!

Convenient gated vrbo within walking distance to downtown Old Town and restaurants. Clean with many amenities (coffee and condiments, dish ware, pots and pans. Excellent water pressure. Mattresses are soft, probably more than is suitable and may need to be replaced! Otherwise, I would highly recommend this vrbo!

This home exceeded our expectations. It is a great value, and a cool neighborhood.
We walked to Old Town every day during our trip. Our kids played in Tiguex Park and we walked to Explora Children's Museum.
I am an Albuquerque native, and it was fun for me to stay near Old Town.
This was a great family spot, and very clean and tidy.

We were driving a long distance. 5 people and 2 cars. A hotel is cost prohibitive in this situation. Your place was just right.

Location is amazing, 5 minute walk to Old Town and a park/playground, within a ten minute walk to great coffee (Remedy!) and food (High Noon Saloon), as well as the NM Natural History Museum and the Albuquerque Museum. Great view of the mountains down the street.
Kitchen was well equipped, backyard had ample seating and the shed provided shade for dinner, everything was clean and comfortable, and Sam was an attentive/responsive host. Covered parking was handy with the afternoon sun.
I would absolutely return and recommend this property (and Albuquerque) to friends and family.
(Other, hidden gem ABQ recommendations: Wheels Museum, the Santa Fe 2926, and the playground at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History!)

We all (4 adults) enjoyed our stay at this house. The listing is accurate and the owner was responsive and helpful. It was great being able to walk into town, and Blackbird coffee (walkable) is a cute spot to grab a beverage and a pastry.
The house was a great home base for our explorations in several directions: we visited White Sands National Park to the south, Jemez Springs to the northwest, Los Alamos/Bandelier National Monument to the northeast, Santa Fe, and Sandia Peak to the east...we opted to do a fair bit of driving, but it was worth it and it felt very cozy to return to this house after our adventures. Comfy beds and good shower pressure.
There's a friendly neighbor across the street, so say hello if you see him.

We only stayed a night but I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. If I am ever back in Albuquerque I would stay here again. Sam was a great host! Comfortable and cozy!

The house was so well equipped, clean, and comfortable. We also loved the adobe style and how well maintained everything is - it was like staying at a nice hotel but with the privacy and space of a house. The area is quiet and walkable, we ate at some great restaurants nearby that were recommended by the host. Would absolutely stay again if we have the chance!

We stayed in this very nice home for our grandson’s baptism. Everything was as described, and worked well for us to gather with our family. The host responded quickly to texts, and we loved staying here. We will stay here again when we come back to visit!!

The house is very cozy and has a pleasant porch area in the back yard. The owner, Sam, responded quickly whenever I emailed him.
The only knock was the network speed on the TV wifi. At the beginning of every program, there was slowness and pausing. Then once the program was loaded, it ran fine.

We took a road trip west on route 66 and stayed one night at this gem. It's clean and comfortable and great way to "live like a local" for and evening. We loved sitting on the back patio enjoying the evening breeze after checking out the shopping at nearby old town. We couldn't recommend it enough!
