We had a lovely time in ABQ visiting with family. The property was just as presented on VRBO - nothing could have been better - absolutely perfect! We wanted for nothing - everything needed to relax and enjoy our 4 day getaway was there. Centrally located, nice neighborhood (nothing fancy, but clean), walking distance to restaurants and shopping - we felt more than comfortable in the area taking morning walks. The only disappointment was that it was so cold we couldn't enjoy the fabulous outdoor amenities at this fabulous property. The property owner was terrific and offered a lot of information about the area and easy to contact should we require anything. VRBO was easy to work with and I'll be using again. HIGHLY recommend this property and this property owner!

Great place to stay.

This rental is not a safe place to stay. For good reason, MANY homes in this old neighborhood have bars on their windows. Even the host, Donavan Lopez, admitted to us that the reason for the 24/7 cameras surveilling the front and back courtyards is because the walls around the property could easily be ‘hopped over’ (to use his words). On the third night of our stay, a police helicopter spotlighted the neighborhood. We did not remain in the hot tub. The police were yelling over a loudspeaker from the helicopter to an apparent fugitive running from them on the ground. With Albuquerque being listed as of the most dangerous cities in the United States, and with helicopters circling above this rental, and having no weapons to defend ourselves, we did not feel safe for the remainder of our stay. In this rental, there is a deadbolt on the front door, but the back entrance is a sliding glass door with a latch that is not easily engaged. There was no security bar to place in the track. As homeowners know, criminals wanting to make a forced entry can pry open a sliding glass door. Insert a screwdriver between the exterior door and the frame, and the door latch will release. The door can then be lifted from the track. We should have chosen a rental in a more modern and safer neighborhood further north and east.

Everything in the house is new and so well thought out for guests. And the yard is spectacular! We used every part of it - hot tub, putting green, fire pit, conversation area, AND dining area! We would recommend this house to anyone and everyone!

It is NOT hard to give this listing 5 Stars at all. This house is located in a quiet neighborhood, completely modernly remodeled and extremely comfortable. We had plenty of space for everyone in my group to hang out, relax, grill and hotub. We had alot of fun hanging out with wine around the fire pit in the evenings after playing some cornhole. Donavan and Carolyn were very communicative before, and during our stay, and on top of everything, even leaving a nice bottle of wine from a local vineyard for our group.They gave us advice on local places to eat ( Fork & Fig) and places to see ( old Towne Albuquerque) ontop of advice for going to the Balloon festival that we were in town for. Carolyn was super accommodating, warm and friendly on our late arrival from a delayed flight as well. I can't speak any more highly of their service and this house. If we pass thru Albuquerque again, we will definitely book this house again!
