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.

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.

Distance to:
Airport: 9 miles
Balloon Fiesta Part: 12 miles (we recommend park-n-ride)
Hotel Albuquerque: 4min walk
UNM: 3.5 miles
Old Town: 2 min walk
Fairgrounds: 8miles
Convention Center: 2 miles

Location is perfect for walking to Old town and surrounding restaurants. Walk score of 84 out of 100. This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot.

Bike score of 87 (very bikeable, flat as a pancake, good bike lanes). There is a bike rental shop within walking distance as well: www.routesrentals.com

Uber, Lyft and Taxi's are always available.

There is a bus system - you can plan your ride here:

Quiet, Cute & Comfortable

In Albuquerque on our way to Grand Canyon with our College Senior. Location is right off Rio Grande and is very secure and quiet. We loved the courtyard being enclosed and locked, The brick floors and decor chosen were tasteful and minimalistic. The beds were extremely comfortable and we were sell rested for our daily excursions. We also loved having a washer and dryer that made quick work of laundry. You are within walking distance of Old Town and plenty of places to eat. Taryn was very quick to respond although we had no problems whatsoever. Thank you so much.

Cozy Staycation

My husband and I had a wonderful time at The Vines! We were ready for a weekend getaway and this stay was just what we needed. The property was clean, all necessities were provided, check in and out procedures were clearly outlined and easy to follow, and the host checked in to ensure we were comfortable. As expected with an apartment stay, we could hear some noise above us but it didn’t take away from our experience and the host even provided ear plugs if needed. We loved the proximity to old town and would definitely stay again!

This two bedroom was decorated very good. It was very close to everything. Was very clean well supplied. Walk to old town. Zoo and gardens close. Only one problem. First floor you can hear second floor noise. Needs a bit of up keep, but a very good stay. Would I rent again? Yes second floor.

Interesting apartment - neighborhood, not so nice

Roomy, fun decor, great Pinon coffee but being close to Old Town turned out to be a negative. Not the fault of this VRBO host, but Old Town had few restaurants and it looked as though the litter hadnt been picked for weeks.

Good location

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.

Nice place, noisy upstairs

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.
