So relaxing!

After driving for almost 3 hours in the summer heat it was a wonderful thing to walk in and have the room cool and the TV on a relaxing channel of gentle water. We especially enjoyed the balcony porch. I wake up earlier than my husband and I enjoyed watching the sun come up. Loved being in walking distance to Old Town. Hot tub was great in the coolness of the early morning. Great place to stay and return to if we are ever back in Albuquerque.

Amazing casita

The casita was outstanding. Had everything we needed and more. Location was amazing and the neighborhood was very safe. I wish we would’ve known before booking that the hot tub is technically shared between this rental unit, another rental unit, and the main living quarters. Due to this, we did not end up using the hot tub as we had planned. But even with this considered, I would book this casita time and time again. It fit every part of our needs and was such a beautiful space.My partner and I also did not care for the memory foam firm mattress, but I’m only including this for people who may read my review and have a sensitive back.

Wow, it's so nice. Spacious and attractive. The enclosed balcony with mountain view is everything!!!! There's a hot tub and a sauna! Which is good, because it gets really cold at night and the morning. In the winter anyway. The location is magnificent.

This is a lovely upstairs studio, fitted out with almost everything a traveller might need and very well located for walking. The property might not be right for people with mobility issues because the entry is extremely tight and there are over a dozen narrow steps to get to the loft. Once up there, the views and comfort are delightful!

Wonderful casita

The location couldn’t be better! It’s centrally located to both the Old Town and downtown Albuquerque, making walking everywhere fun and accessible. The loft casita is located up steep stairs with narrow treads, so I don’t think it would be appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. Parking was not a problem and the general area felt very safe. The property manager is delightful and very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.

Perfection!

This truly is a gorgeous Casita! We loved our stay here. Great location, very quick walk to Old Town, which was a very cute little historic town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Short drive to many other wonderful locations. The rental itself was so very clean and comfortable. I absolutely loved to outside areas. We had our own private enclosed back area with plenty of room and seating along with an amazing swing that I just loved. This rental is one flight up so this area was very private. One the ground level there is a beautiful yard also. There was also a hot tub for use but we did not have the time to take advantage of that. Just loved everything about this rental and would definitely stay there again if I ever get back to that area. I did have one question upon arrival and called Lilly, she answered me immediately. Thank you so much Lilly and David, we loved our stay at your beautiful Casita!

The check in process was seamless even though we arrived a bit later than expected. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, but also within walking distance of Old Town Plaza and the Sawmill district. We loved staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to again.

Lovely!

This is likely the loveliest vrbo my husband and I have experienced in all of our years traveling together. Thoughtful touches everywhere….soft sheets on a comfortable mattress, well-appointed small kitchen area with coffee, half & half, and water, and more…., luxury towels and soaps and first aid in the bathroom (along with bathrobes!) a lovely private screened porch with a gorgeous Mountain View over the rooftops, a larger garden patio and hot tub, all spotlessly cleaned and ready to enjoy….not to mention the bicycles….ready to ride along the river trails….to the zoo and botanic gardens…or just a few blocks into the historic plaza!!!! Parking at the house was very convenient….we only needed our car to get to and from the airport…less than 15 minutes away!

location

Place met our needs. We enjoyed the visit to the Sawmill Market nearby for meals, rather than places located in Old Town. Stairs to upper unit is quite steep, so needs to be careful when carrying luggages. Would have been more enjoyable if the weather wasn't so hot.
