Other things to note:
Old building - although this apartment has been remodeled there are many quirks that come along with trying to preserve a historic building. For example, most of the brick flooring is original but you will see in places that the owners had to replace with newer bricks as the old ones crumble, if you come across any that need attention please let me know.
Large Garbage container located behind the complex
Possibility for noise - apartments are part of an 8plex. This apartment is on the bottom floor with another apartment above. Typical neighbor noise is expected as with any apartment living.
Low Flow Toilets - do not flush anything other than small amounts of toilet paper
Air conditioner - please do not run temp lower than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The compressor can easily freeze causing damage or HOT air to blow in.
Sofa Bed - not the most comfortable bed. We have added another layer of foam under the bedding but please be aware that it is not the most comfortable bed.
Parking - parking lot in front of complex
The complex is regularly treated with non-toxic pest repellent. Still, this property is located in a historic neighborhood in the desert. Bugs are a part of life here in the southwest. While we make every effort to stay on top of pest control and keep the apartments spotless for guests, we cannot completely control nature and therefore you may see the occasional bug. Please be aware of this and make sure you're ok with the possibility before booking.
Recording device: Doorbell camera is attached to front door (this is the only camera) and is used to monitor guest count and for security purposes.
The Neighborhood:
We love the historic feel and the charm that Old Town delivers. It's always enjoyable to slow down and spend time strolling through the square and the numerous shops and restaurants available. We feel perfectly safe walking around Old Town both day and night, just sticking to the immediate blocks around the plaza, and around Rio Grande Blvd. Going from Central towards Downtown does have some isolated stretches so it is recommended to use common safety sense as you would in any big city.

Airport: 9 miles

Five family members - all ladies - visiting from Ohio. First time in ABQ and they all loved it, especially being centered in Old Town. Thanks for helping make the visit such a delight.

Its a cute little place, its located in a good place, but the walls are super, super thin. We didnt sleep until the neighbors went to sleep...

Loved my stay here!!! Place was super cute and one-block walk to Old Town. Traveling solo and felt very safe - both property and unit had various security measures in place. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Arrived late at night to find dirty tub with sand and hair in it.Dirty stove top, oven, and microwave, and dirty floors. Contacted owner who said they would come the next, but we had to clean the tub and kitchen before we could use anything that night. Kitchen lights over the counters burned out. when we asked the owner, they said they'd just burned out during the last guest and they didn't have time to replace them. Makes Kitchen prepping difficult. Can't use garbage disposal because owners are worried about plumbing. Power button does not work on tv in one of the rooms. Lots of mold and dirty grout in bathroom and rotting baseboards makes it feel unclean. Kitchen well equipped. Beds and pillows are comfortable.Living room and kitchen area area works well for the property. The decor is probably the best part of the property as it's welcoming without being kitchey. Washer and dryer are a plus and owners leave laundry detergent which is very thoughtful. One small fan and a white noise machine were provided which were also very helpful. No street noise, but no noise protection from upstairs neighbors. We could hear everything they were saying and doing - even just their walking around sounded like stomping. We could also smell everything they cooked. While property owners provide earplugs, they did not help. Apartment complex is quaint and fits the area motif, but the unit could use a good clean, wall holes plugged, a coat of paint and a little TLC.

My wife and I had a great stay. There was food and entertainment all a block away. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen is sufficient to make meals if you don’t want to eat out. All in all 10 out of 10.

Great location. Exactly what we needed for our weekend to celebrate a childhood friend’s wedding. Slept like a rock and loved all the coffee spots to visit via walking distance of the place. Thanks for the great stay!

This property was neat, clean and had all the amenities needed. Perfectly sized and in a great location. Close to great restaurants and shopping in Old Town. We had a wonderful experience! Thanks Taryn! Great Hostess

Nice property, and the unit itself is great. Its definitely a bit rustic and the upstairs unit seems very loud (we had several groups stay above us throughout our stay and you could hear the footsteps and talking of them all). I would recommend staying upstairs if you can.

Prior to our arrival the property manager was in touch with us regarding our arrival information. She also checked in on us a few times throughout our stay and was very responsive to messages we sent. The rental was clean and stocked with the things we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable with the exception of the sofa bed, but this was made clear to us before our arrival, so we brought an air mattress for our youngest kiddo to use instead. We were within walking distance from Old Town and within 15 of most major Albuquerque attractions. I'd definitely recommend this rental for couples or small families of 3 or 4.
4.9
This was the perfect spot for our family of 5 visiting Albuquerque for the first time. Easy check in and out, clean, and with a great location. We walked to the Museum of Natural Science, to breakfast and dinner, and Old Towne. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a great location, CLEAN and as pictured. We will book this again for our next visit.

We love this property! The location, just across the street from Old Town, was perfect. The interior was really cool and vibey, and the communication with the property manager was exceptional, very prompt responses to questions, and really greate check in and check out instructions!
We'll definitely be returning to this property.

The location was fabulous. Right across the street from Old Town and and the museum. We went to tje Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and ate a great breakfast in their restaurant. We went on a walking Art Tour which was available through the museum
We went to the Balloon Fiesta and though we were rained out several days, Thursday we saw all the balloons and the special shapes. It was breathtaking and a once in a lifetime experience. Our apartment was perfect.
4.9
Our leisurely visit allowed us to make the most of Albuquerque's Old Town, leaving the car at our apartment and walking to sites and restaurants with ease. A short trip to the botanical garden and walk by the Rio Grande were as satisfying as our day trip to Santa Fe. Our home base was comfortable, and we started every day well rested. A jewel of a find.

Nice and walking distance to old town.

This location did not disappoint. It was on the west side of Old Town, literally! The apartment was adorably decorated and very clean. Other reviews complained about noise, I did not experience this problem. We had a place to park all of the time, however someone was always in our assigned spot, not a big deal! I would definitely come back to stay at this location.

This place was perfect for my family. We have small children and this apartment had everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, spacious, and perfectly located in ABQ. Our host was also very communicative and wonderful to have. We will always check to see if this property is available when ever visiting to ABQ from now on. !

With its high ceilings, white beams, consistent "travel" themed decorations, the apartment is interesting and stylish. Host was attentive. It is also comfortable. I was here by myself, but there was room for a small family or a pair of couples. If I am back in the neighborhood, I will definitely look to see if it is available.

This was an great apartment. We loved the location as we could walk to Old Town and explore by foot. It was also close to everything else by car. We both absolutely loved the travel theme throughout the apartment.
As it is an apartment and we were on the bottom floor I would suggest you use ear plugs while you sleep as there is no sound cushioning from the apartment above. We could hear everything. (They are provided for you so that's nice).
Other than that small issue we loved loved loved staying there.

Fun travel theme throughout apartment. Close to square in Old Town, a walkable neighborhood close to a park and many shops. Was great for what we needed - a home base. Not unusual for apt living, movement of neighbors above was quite noticeable. Taryn provided details and information that helped welcome us and get our bearings.

What an ideal spot to explore Old Town, the farmer's market or to jump on highway and head on a day trip to Santa Fe. We loved the charm of this spot with the classic brick floors and vigas. Will definitely be back!

We loved our stay in this property! It was a safe and easy stroll to the bustle of Old Town and to interstate systems for exploring farther afield. Our host provided everything we needed, as advertised, with delightful local treats and souvenirs relating to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! A thoughtful touch from the host of this beautifully appointed and conveniently property. Jump at this rental opportunity!
