Nice place to stay near Old Town in Albuquerque

We stayed for three nights. The home was clean, nicely furnished, and well equipped, with lots of nice touches. The communication wth the host was what you would want. The location was ideal, within a short walking distance to restaurants and the Old Town area. No complaints. It worked out perfectly for us.

Adorable Adobe

We had a great trip to Albuquerque, made even better by this adorable Adobe. Communication with the owner was effortless. Check-in procedures were clear and easy. The location was convenient to what we wanted to do and we felt very safe in this house. The house was very clean and had lots of amenities. It also has off-street parking behind a security gate and a huge backyard. I would definitely stay here again.

Hi, I am Sam. I am a homeschooling father, enjoy cooking creative meals, and am an all around handyman. I have a passion for my family, the community, disc golf and soccer. To relax in the evenings you can find me in my garden and tending our chickens in the beautiful cool Albuquerque evenings.

Why they chose this property

Historic area of Albuquerque!! The location is fantastic, you will be surrounded by restaurants and museums. Explora (fantastic kids museum) The Natural History Museum, and the Art Museum of New Mexico. Old Town with many restaurants and shops. All this is within a 5-minute walk from the home. If you hop in the car you can drive 5 minutes to the Bio Park, which includes the aquarium. The ABQ zoo is just a short drive through old neighborhoods. Downtown is also just a short 5-minute drive. The home itself is a remodeled Adobe with consideration of its 1926 origins. Hardwood floors and saltillo tile cover the floors. Simple yet elegant bedrooms and bathrooms with modern amenities. Dimmable lighting in the bathrooms and kitchen bring a nice layer of personal touch. The kitchen is tastefully decorated and stocked for almost all cooking needs along with complimentary coffee or tea. Enjoy the outside with a large size private gated and fenced backyard with seating for 10 and a bbq. Great for pets as they have the entire property to securely run around.
