Dated but nice
The house is really open and spacious. The backyard was nice with the hot tub.It’s a little dated compared to what the photos show, but that isn’t a problem as everything worked perfectly fine.

Family getaway
This place was exactly what my daughter, grandson and son in law and I wanted. Having never been to Albuquerque before, it’s located in a great area and it was the perfect base camp for us to explore from. Having Uber readily available from here is a real plus as well. Great stay.

Great Introduction to Albuquerque
We are considering a move to the Albuquerque area and visited the area to get a first hand look, explore the communities, look at houses, and interview for jobs. The house was conveniently located restaurants, grocers, and other shops with nearby parks and points of interest and allowed us to do all we planned. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped. The living room was comfortable for our family to relax together. The bedrooms were comfortable and private with plenty of storage for our belongings and flat screened televisions in every room. The bathrooms provided body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. We were very impressed by the details the owner had incorporated including paper towels, dishwashing and laundry pods, basic kitchen essentials like seasonings, sugar, creamer, coffee, and teabags. It truly felt like home. There were even a few books and boardgames and a child's dining set that would have been most appreciated many years ago when our children were young. Kudos to owner Taryn Rivera for her hospitality and attention to detail. We would certainly recommend these accommodations to any couple or family looking for the best introduction to New Mexico.

More Worn than Retro
This 3 bedroom 2 bath house has large rooms and comfortable beds. The house itself is more worn than retro. Each room has a separate heating and cooling unit, the heat doesn’t move around much and the master bathroom was too cold to take a shower in the all black tile, small (roughly coffin size) shower that had no interior light. The pink tiled shower/bath combination was more usable, though it had what seemed to be black grout all around the tub. Most faucets had the hot on the right and cold on the left, the opposite of what is usual for American faucets. There were precisely 6 large plates, 6 large glasses, and 5 wine glasses which should be considered the minimum for a house for 6 people. There were no serving plates. The kitchen is large and has a gas stove with an oven. The oven can be preheated but there is no display to say what temperature the oven achieves. The large 3 door refrigerator looks like it was bought as a seconds store because it has large, prominent indentations in the doors. The house had been cleaned, but not thoroughly. There were some leftover black crepe paper still taped on a bedroom door frame, and I found a corner that seemed to have dust spilled in it. The owners were responsive when we called them that some boards had fallen from the fence that separates the two back yards; they sent someone over on December 23 to renail the boards. The hot tub in the small dusty patio was clean and got to a good temperature.

Wonderful way to ring in the New Year.
As constant travelers and host, this home was perfect for relaxation and hosting a big dinner with friends. There was only 4 of us, but would have had room to fit 6 easily. The beds were so comfy, we did not need to bring our pillows from home. Towels were better than most hotels, and there was plenty for showers and for use in the hot tub. Attention to details go a long way, having plenty of dish soap, trash bags, and even dishwasher/laundry pods, mean a lot to us. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen needs, from spices, to pots and pans and even dishes, everything was there that we needed. The host was on point with communication needs, there was never a delay with check-ins, and reminders about entering and checking out of the home. We did not encounter any problems during our stay, but feel confident that if we had, they would have been handled with great care and in a swift manner. I also have to say that the resident in the attached property was very quiet and kept to themselves. We felt that privacy between the two units were perfect. There was plenty of parking for our two cars. Even the fireworks in the area for New Years Eve, were kept to a minimum and very little street noise was heard in the home. We all agreed that we would stay again at this home and even consider other properties that they host. Thanks for making our stay fantastic!

Bang for your buck!
Reasonably priced home. Very comfortable beds. Good communication. The house is a shared property which is not disclosed in the description. It did not present any issues but some potential renters may prefer a stand alone home. House could use a face lift, it is advertised as ' retro' and it certainly was. Overall, it was convenient and comfortable.

Quiet neighborhood
We really enjoyed this house. The house itself was very clean. It was perfect for our staycation. It is in a very quiet and calm neighborhood. We had no problems checking in and great communication with the owners. They even rushed over a drain plug for the tub! The patio had not been cleaned and there was no propane. However, they did have a broom and sprayer for the hose. Once it was clean, we absolutely loved sitting on the patio. It was a nice secluded sitting area and we enjoyed the overhanging lights. It was definitely one of the things we looked forward to when choosing this location. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and clean. The couch and big TV was a huge plus. The kitchen is big, had everything for cooking and was very organized. It was perfect for everything we needed. Thank you!
