    Oh Man, the House was as said, all beds and rooms were on point, we had a great group of kids that really loved the place, said it felt like a Mansion, it a swim spa, larger than a hot tub, so the kids loved that, having access to the garage was great, The main house and back casita could use better AC/Fans and the Bathrooms are tiny and very old, but worked ok, to fit our large group and entertain the kids ranging from an infant to 5, 10, 13, etc and the big kids in there 40's/50's, it was perfect, overall we had a great stay, Thank you

    We could not be happier with this beautiful house. It was a lovely and peaceful space. Room for three generations of folks to each have their own spaces but also gather and spend time together. Rooms were clean, bedding was cozy, kitchen was well appointed. Really appreciated all the available dish and cookware. Kids loved the gameroom and video games, and had a blast in the beautiful backyard. (Say hello to Goliath!). We had room for ten to eat dinner together inside, and spend several evenings on the gorgeous back porch. The front door to the back casita sticks pretty badly, so they should get that looked at. But other than that, couldn't ask for more!

    We really enjoyed our stay at this exceptionally beautiful home in Albuquerque. It has a ton of charm and character and was the perfect spot for my entire tennis team to rest after playing our sectional matches in ABQ. In fact, another local team has already booked this house when they come to play their tournament this fall. Thank you to the hosts for their wonderful accommodations and communication.
