The house is clean and comfortable. The backyard was the perfect layout to enjoy the beautiful New Mexico scenery/ weather and socialize with the yard games. We were 2 couples, so having 2 bedrooms with king size beds (hard to find) was perfect for our needs. The location is great! We were able to walk to the Steel Bender Brewery for drinks, and also walked to the Mexican restaurant at the other end of the road for breakfast. Also recommend local favorite, El Pinto restaurant which is just a short drive away! We will stay at this home again!

We came to Albuquerque for the balloon festival and couldn’t have picked a better place to land! The house is the perfect size for our family, so clean and nicely decorated, and had everything that we needed for our stay. We had a beautiful view of the Sandia mountains from our backyard.

Clean comfortable family friendly property just minutes from the Balloon Park. Views of the balloons partially obstructed. Beds were clean and comfortable, spacious kitchen, bathrooms clean with tubs that were great for smaller children. Loved that a pack n play and high chair were available. Target, Walgreens, grocery stores nearby.

Non mi è piaciuto: Comunicazione e posizione
Beautiful home with caveats
The property is beautiful. It was cold weather and managing a reasonable temperature in the house was difficult.
The stay was nice and I would do it again if the Owner didn't have extra expectations and obviously has many other properties.
After my stay began the communication ended when I had questions (via email). The "local host" didn't know who we were by giving my name AND the address. We were expected to take out the trashcan for garbage service, but it's at the end of the street, not at the house. The guest manual was obviously a copy from other homes because it didn't make sense (we rented a one story house and it kept referring to the downstairs). This wasn't an issue but it took away from the charm.
We were also expected to strip the beds. NOTE TO ALL OWNERS: Having guest strip the beds is annoying when you have to leave the location in the morning (by your rules) and when the guest is paying for a cleaning service. Also, once I started stripping the bed I discovered what I was sleeping on and was a bit grossed out (stained pillows and bedding).
Overall the house was nice. I would stay there again if I didn't feel like I had to take care of things that I was paying for in the rental.
