Came home to visit my family in ABQ and brought my wife, son, and in laws. It was easy to check in, a great location, and had everything we needed. Will definitely use VRBO and this location again in the future.

Nice Nob Hill and affordable.

Great property. That far east the Nob Hill area gets a little more rough. Getting better over the years. The owners have spent a lot of money and time updating the property very nicely. Will come again.

Adorable adobe

Very clean and comfortable. We loved hanging out in the big backyard. I had a couple of questions and requests that Stephanie responded to right away. The hosts left bottled water and seltzers in the fridge and turned up the a/c for us before we arrived so we would be comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Albuquerque visit

Great location, in heart of Nob Hill, walking distance to restaurants and nice, safe/quiet/clean/cute neighborhood for walking. House is clean, well appointed, secure, with everything you need to feel comfortable. Great gated parking, nice back patio area with hot tub. Easy access to all of Albuquerque. Comfy beds. Extra towels. All the basic kitchen stuff needed to prepare own meals. Hostess was responsive and left little extras (coffee, condiments, tip book) that made us feel welcome!

Great location in the center of it all

We absolutely cannot say enough good things about Casa Sunshine! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by this beautiful vacation home's incredible charm and comfort. The hot tub was an absolute dream, and we spent many happy hours relaxing and soaking our cares away. After a long day exploring the historic Route 66 and the vibrant Nob Hill area, it was the perfect way to unwind. Speaking of which, the location of Casa Sunshine cannot be beaten. We loved being so close to all the action of Route 66 and the charming, eclectic neighborhood of Nob Hill. There were so many fantastic restaurants, shops, and attractions to explore, and we could easily walk to everything we wanted to see and do. But beyond the location and amenities, the house itself was just perfect. It was beautifully decorated and incredibly cozy, with all the comforts of home and then some. We especially loved the three bedrooms, which gave everyone in our group plenty of space and privacy. All in all, we absolutely adored our stay at Casa Sunshine and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation in Albuquerque. The hot tub, the location, and the cozy charm of this incredible vacation home can't be beaten! The Alsups
