A cozy place

We were staying in the area with our baby girl because my dad lives nearby and it was a cozy and comfortable home away from home. Communication with the host was easy and timely and the space was as advertised, including having a place for our baby to sleep. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

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.

Overall, a good stay with basic amenities. Stayed for a conference nearby, so location was very convenient. Good for small groups. If staying with a larger group or depending on the kitchen for large or frequent meals, the amenities might not be adequate. Main room TV often slow or crashed for streaming services.

We weren’t there much, just needed basics. The home was comfortable, but could use some updates. The backyard was not really a place to relax with dirt yard, weeds. The host was quick to answer any questions.

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.
