Very nice home
The home was clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location was great and the view of the sunsets and city lights from the backyard were amazing. Only con was that it backed up to a rather busy street and there was some traffic noise when outdoors. We couldn’t hear anything inside which was nice.

Beautiful and Safe Spot in ABQ
This rental was conveniently located to enjoy all that Albuquerque has to offer! As two ladies traveling together, we never felt unsafe at this spot. Jake was great at communicating the house rules and making sure we knew he was available for any questions/concerns. Also, easy check-in and check-out process. The beds were very comfortable and the place was spotless. Located in the foothills of the Sandia mountains made it an ideal location if hiking and recreating is on your agenda. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Albuquerque!
