“Home away from home” is the best way to describe this property. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The home is clean, well organized, and fully functional. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. We were visiting for a graduation, our days were busy, and returning to the property each night gave us the opportunity to relax and rest up for the next day. The host responds very quickly to any questions, and is both personable and professional. That all said, we had a great stay and we look forward to the opportunity to stay again.

My husband and I had a great stay. The house was very clean and well taken care of. Had all the essentials and the little extras for a welcoming stay. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Comfy living area to relax after our day hikes and eat in. The covered patio was nice to have a bite in the shade. Beds were comfortable. Carla is very responsive and easy checkin checkout. Highly recommend as a cozy and welcoming home to explore the surrounding areas.

Sw relaxing

Very comfortable and cozy. Beautifully decorated with a fully equipped kitchen including a water purifier. Easy access to Albuquerque and it's museums and entertainments including a hot air balloon ride. Also well situated for hiking to the north in the parks and national monuments. Would definitely stay again. It's a bargain.

Home away from home

Very nice place. Close to a lot of restaurants and lots of things to do. The only thing I would say to improve is a king size bed in the main suite. I really appreciated the shampoo/conditioner/ soap option in the bathroom. My husband also loved the coffee maker and snacks that were provided. It was nice to come back after balloon fest and everyone have a quiet place for a little while to unwind. Thank you for also reaching out to check on us, that was really nice of you to do.

Beautiful home, great location, helpful manager

The property was the best location I could find in the area, close to the park we were holding my mom's memorial in. Carla was very responsive to the questions I had and went out of her way to resolve a few concerns I had. Everything was set up for us when we arrived, very clean, every necessity provided for. A nice home that made us feel welcomed. When we had a minor issue getting the automatic door lock to work, Carla stepped me through it online. I'd absolutely recommend this home and Carla to anyone.

October 2024

Carla is one of the best owners to deal with. House is always clean and there are many amenities such as paper towels and toilet paper are included where others do not. It was nice to have a king bed in the master bedroom. However, the mattress was a little soft for me. Because of our constant running schedule with our family I didn't get a chance to tell Carla about the remote for the overhead light and fan needed a battery. I know she would have responded ASAP. Good property, quiet and safe neighborhood. Great owner. Our second time to stay at this location.

Overall good rental and location

This property is a great location for visiting New Mexico, it's not too far from Albuquerque and right down the street from a train station that provides easy access to Santa Fe. There are plenty of dining options nearby and a couple of grocery stores if you prefer to stay in. The house and rooms were comfortable, and everything we needed was provided. The only not so great things about the property are easily fixable and may not be an issue for everyone. First, the rear sliding glass door does not lock, but there is a bar available to provide some security. Second, the blinds on nearly all windows could use replacing, not an issue in the winter or during the summer when then AC is available, but we visited in the Autumn, and one of the days we wanted to open the windows to allow for some cross breeze. All of the blinds seemed to have issues, and one of them even fell off the wall. Third, the master bathroom shower has a soap/shampoo dispenser, which is very thoughtful, but it's right in the middle of the shower. It gets in the way, and makes the shower feel smaller than it is. I would recommend moving this dispenser to the end wall. Like I said, definitely not deal breakers, and likely wouldn't even be issues the everyone. I would still recommend this property and would likely stay there here again if we travel to this area again.
