This was a very pleasant place to stay. It was clean, the view was beautiful, and it had everything we needed. Given that this was in the middle of a road trip, having access to the laundry was a godsend.

Albuquerque trip
Overall we have no complaints. Listing and actual place were not the same. Was listed as a 1 BR, 1BA, however it was only a studio, no bedroom. Only a two burner cook top, camper size refrigerator, which had hardly any room to put stuff because it already had others leftovers, such as open butter, mustard…. We had never been to New Mexico, and had no idea that they were closing the pool the day we arrived. As stated before, the place was very clean, fantastic location and view, just not what we were expecting, as far as size. We ended up eating out almost every meal, or had microwave meals. Check in was easy, we were greeted by one of the host, and check out was probably one of the easiest we have ever had. Knowing what we do now about the place, yes we would stay again, but be a little more prepared. Highly recommend!

A Beautiful Birthday Getaway
We loved our stay! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside, overlooking the pool & looking out over the city of Albuquerque throughout the day & in the evenings. Such a beautiful view & so peaceful & quiet. Walter & Lisa are the perfect hosts. You knew they were there if you needed them but not hovering. Everything was clean & the bed was comfortable. I highly recommend this as a getaway for one or two! Thank you, Walter & Lisa!

Excellent view of ABQ
This was a short trip to pick my son up from his grandmothers. My adult daughter and I enjoyed the short walk to the tram. The pool was nice to go in after a hot summer hike back from the tram. Even though the owners live on site, we had complete privacy. I was concerned about not having my own space due to sharing a studio apartment with my daughter and later in our stay my son. However, the use of the large outside space and pool area is more than enough space to be able to comfortably enjoy our time. The space was very clean and tastefully decorated. The amenities were wonderful and it was like stepping into my home with everything we needed to be comfortable. From laundry soap to coffee and spices for meals. It was a perfect trip and we will definitely be back.
