Comfortable weekender

We stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of Spring Break and got to spend some really nice time with our college kid. The space was clean and the kitchen well appointed. Very comfortable space on a quiet street. We'd for sure stay here again and will keep the place in mind for future visits.

Terrific VRBO!

The place was super clean and very well stocked. The access was very easy and timely. No fuss, no muss. The bed comfy..the view terrific...We were happily surprised to find a dog crate so didn't have to set up ours. Loved the suitcase holders, pinion coffee supplied with cream and sugar and the parking was ample and well lighted. Can't think of any way to make it better! Great value and a lovely place to hang your hat:). Thank you!

I have been married to my lovely wife for going on 20 years and have two girls ages 15 and 9. I love to spend most of my free time traveling.

It is in one of the safest and most desired neighborhoods in Albuquerque. I also love it because it is convenient to every single thing Albuquerque has to offer. It is only 15 minutes from Balloon Fiesta park, so it is amazing to stay at for the Fiesta! The home is also convenient to I-40 which will take you to I-25 to spend the day in Santa Fe or anywhere else you want to visit.
