Very nice home
The home was clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location was great and the view of the sunsets and city lights from the backyard were amazing. Only con was that it backed up to a rather busy street and there was some traffic noise when outdoors. We couldn’t hear anything inside which was nice.

Beautiful and Safe Spot in ABQ
This rental was conveniently located to enjoy all that Albuquerque has to offer! As two ladies traveling together, we never felt unsafe at this spot. Jake was great at communicating the house rules and making sure we knew he was available for any questions/concerns. Also, easy check-in and check-out process. The beds were very comfortable and the place was spotless. Located in the foothills of the Sandia mountains made it an ideal location if hiking and recreating is on your agenda. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Albuquerque!

High expectations were exceeded!
I had the most incredible stay at this VRBO apartment! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the level of comfort and luxury it offered. The beds were like sleeping on clouds - I woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated every morning. I had some misgivings about the swamp cooler, but it was more than sufficient for the Albuquerque late summer! But what truly made this place stand out was the amazing patio space. It was a little piece of paradise right at the base of the Sandias with an expansive view of the city. I spent my evenings visiting with family and enjoying the view from the spacious patio, and it was pure bliss. Whether it was breakfast with a view or stargazing at night, the patio was the perfect spot for it all. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated and well-maintained, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. It had everything I needed for a comfortable and memorable stay. The location was also fantastic, with easy access to all the attractions I wanted to visit. I can't recommend this VRBO apartment enough. It's the perfect place for a relaxing getaway, and I can't wait to come back and experience it all over again!

The owner of this property is wonderful, very attentive to detail and takes great pride in this beautiful property. Perched on the side of the Sandia Mountains, all roads very accessible and easy to find, this property provides you with the mountain at your side overlooking the gorgeous city of Albuquerque! We arrived on the hottest day of the year, the cooling system cooled our space quickly after an easy and efficient electronic entry. Very clean and comfortable, this place has it all to make your stay comfortable, even supplying laundry soap! Don't miss this one, we are so grateful we found it and regretted having to leave!
