-Large Garbage container located behind the complex
-Possibility for noise - apartments are part of an 8plex
-Low Flow Toilets - do not flush anything other than small amounts of toilet paper
-AC unit - please do not run temp lower than 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit. The compressor can easily freeze causing damage or HOT air to blow in. When you leave please return temp to 75.
-Sofa Bed - not the most comfortable bed. We have added another layer of foam under the bedding but please be aware that it is not the most comfortable bed.
-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.
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.

A little on the plain side, which was ok for us- we weren’t in the place that much. However, the AC was weak( had to open the windows at night) and the shower is just tiny and short. Overall - OK.
The location was wonderful. It seemed like we were only 15 minutes to anything we wanted to do. Right across the street from Old Towne, close to many attractions. The host was very accommodating and shared information on things to do in Albuquerque. The condo was well stocked with kitchen items, a sound machine in the bedroom. The beds were firm and very comfortable. The shower is very small so if you are tall you might have to duck. We enjoyed our stay!! Linda and Liz
Just finished my four day stay here. Such a cozy apartment and a prime location to all the sights. Taryn was a very responsive host who thought of everything, left detailed instructions, an informative binder and kept in close communication with me to answer my questions. When I return in the Spring, I will book her apartment again.
Very nice and as advertised. We arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances, and check-in was easy and smooth. Check out was also an easy process.
Everything was like described! The apartment was very close to old town. I would stay here again. The house was very clean. The only thing I would improve was the cleanliness of the floors.
Sweet condo, much larger than I expected .. nicely decorated, incredibly clean. Had everything we needed. We could walk right across the street to restaurants and shopping. Parking right out front. The owners were quick to respond. Quiet condo even though it’s on a busier street. We heard no street noise at all and felt very very safe in the area. We stayed with granddaughters. Perfect for us. We will definitely come back again.
This is a nice place in a nice location. The host is very responsive to any questions you might have.
Great location with lots to do and see in Old Town. Neighborhood felt safe and there was so much within walking distance. Great communication by the host both before and during our stay. The rental was clean and stocked with the things we needed for our stay (good coffee too!). The beds were comfortable. The only flaw was the host only provides one bath towel per person. Sort of missed having a towel for my hair and one for my body. This rental was perfect for our family of 4. .
I loved everything about this property. The property was well maintained, the unit was super cute and very clean. Highly recommend!
Close to some great eateries and interstate. We were very comfortable, space was perfect for our family of 4.
I have in-laws in ABQ and we've always stayed at their place or a hotel. His condo gave my wife and I tons of room to spread out and not be crammed in a hotel room together. The owner literally thought of everything. My one and only one small knock would be if you're 6'0 or taller, the shower is going to be tough. The owner has dome some clever plumbing to get as much clearance as possible but I think a couple more inches is possible which would make the small shower more comfortable.
We loved this secure building for our family stay. It was a lovely place and a great location. All the needed amenities and in the heart of oldtown. Would definitely recommend to others and rebook in the future.
This little apartment near Old Town was perfect for my family. It's in a charming older building but has been completely renovated. Being able to walk to Old Town (literally right across the street) was wonderful, and there was enough room for my husband and I and two adult children to spread out. I took away one star because the main bathroom is tiny, the shower is tiny, and the bathroom door sticks so badly it's almost impossible to open and close. Also, there were no sheets available for the fold-out sofa, so we had to move some from one of the twin beds. The sofa bed is not comfortable at all and we only used it as part of our campaign to isolate a loud snorer! There was no response to our inquiry about sheets, and no repsonse when we reported a cracked mirror. Otherwise, this is a very homey and comfortable place to stay.
Beds were extremely uncomfortable. There was no AC in leaving room which made the room warm even with open windows. Wouldn’t recommend.
This was just what we needed for a business trip. Had everything we needed. Communication was good. Place was clean. Close to Old Towne.
