Photos inaccurate except the backyard
Checkin: 1/5The checkin was very confusing. I got an email telling me to check a different booking website for our code to the lockpad, even though we booked via VBRO.Communication: 5/5When I called the host, he picked up right away, which was good because it was already 9:30pm by the time we got into town Location and Neighborhood: 2/5We didn't get a welcoming vibe, because there was a car idling nearby for a very long time, the area is rundown considering the price being charged, and the home did not have a garage to secure our car in. Cleanliness: 4/5The place had been cleaned, and I appreciated that after the confusing checkin and the anxiety about the neighborhood, the backyard had a fun playground for the kids to relax and play in the next morning.

Wonderful Property and Stay
Our stay was excellent. Anthony was very accommodating and very friendly. The property was perfect for our Family and Grandchildren. The home was very clean inside and out. It felt like home, everything needed was there. The outside play ground equipment the children loved, the play room was loved by all the family. The beds slept good. We loved the property, we’ll be back!

Christmas with my children and their families
Amazing. From long before we arrived. Anthony answered all my questions, had a little Christmas tree set up per my request, and checked on us during the stay. About the property: It’s nice, it’s not fancy, but I would have been terrified to have 6 adults, a 7 year old, twin 2-1/2 year olds, and a 20 month old in most of the short term rentals I’ve stayed in. We also had my son who lives in Albuquerque and his family over with their kids 6&8 years old. The playground saved us so much frustration by keeping the kids busy outside and not stuck insoors. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and dining supplies, lots of spices, staples, etc. Heads up to those that haven’t spent much time in a city. It’s a city with many neighborhoods and many cultures. This is an average neighborhood. It’s actually friendly and many of the activities we chose were in that area. The zoo really is a short walk away. Everyone agreed it was the perfect place for us. Even without the kids, the house was a good fit. Fire pit in the back yard. Large screen Roku tvs. A video machine with hundreds of games. Lots of seating. Great kitchen.

Great stay
We stayed there in the middle of a heat wave and the AC broke. The owner immediately had service people to help, it was 10pm and he got someone over in 20 minutes. These things happen and Elijah consistently checked in and because of the inconvenience offered a discount. We will stay with him again.

Extended Family weekend getaway
This property was awesome. We had four adults and five children. The children's ages ranged from 7 years old to 15 years old. They loved the arcade and we had a hard time getting them to go away from all the activities in the backyard to explore more of what Albuquerque had to offer.
We really enjoyed this place. It was clean and exactly as it was described on the listing.

As advertised! Clean, normal, nice things on the property. Awesome appliances and furniture. We needed both the AC and the heat and it worked perfectly. So clean. Beds were comfortable with very nice sheets and pillows. Furniture clean and real sized. Loved the different areas to visit in with our crowd. Backyard was great. Game room was great. We had 11 people and it worked out great. We felt safe the entire visit. Owner was available for questions the entire time.

Nice place with plenty of hang out space
We stayed at this property to be close to the Isleta Amphitheater for an event. The four bedrooms provided ample space for seven adults to stay comfortably. The backyard had a nice table and patio area. And we had a great time playing the arcade games! Home was clean and beds were very comfortable. Neighborhood was in the south part of town but was quiet.

Great location and hosts
Property had plenty of room for for two families to spread out. The backyard play area was great, completely fenced in with a play structure the kids enjoyed (4, 8 and 10 years old). There was a nice patio table and extra chairs for the adults to enjoy as well when it started to cool down outside. Kitchen was a little small but well stocked. Only downside was, there was no dishwasher so we opted to order out for dinner and buy paper plates since we were only there a few nights. Hopefully, a dishwasher will be installed in the future to make eating in more enjoyable.
We had a few minor issues in the beginning, one that was just part of owning a home. Anthony and Liela were extremely quick to respond, answer questions and make sure that everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our stay.
Location was amazing if you have kids that want to take advantage of the Bio park and/or zoo. Neighborhood is in an older part of Albuquerque but felt safe. AC worked well, which in 95-100 degree weather made the stay extremely comfortable.
Overall, I would recommend this house for families or large groups.

Great One Night Stay
We stayed at this house with another family with small children for one night on our way to Colorado. After an 11 hour drive it was great to unload our stuff and let the children play on the fort in the backyard while the parents relaxed. Having a washer dryer was nice for cleaning clothes from the drive. Accommodations were very clean and Anthony was very helpful. We ordered take out and watched TV in the front living room while the kids watched tv in the back playroom. So much better than staying in a best western or something along the way.
I do wish the parking was a little more secure so we didn’t have to take all our luggage inside, but there was plenty of space for our two cars to park off the street even with the Handiman’s truck parked in front of the house as well. There was also a front door camera which made me feel a little more secure.
The ABQ bio park is right around the corner. If we had stayed another day we would have definitely checked it out.
Overall a great stay!

Nice place
The description of the place and the overall experience was mostly good. We did have a minor issue with the hot water but they were able to correct that the same day. my only complaint is it took a little too long for communications between the property manager and myself. both times I had a minor issue it took him too long to respond but when he did respond he took care of the issue.

Lovely house for 4 couples
The house worked very well for us to celebrate Christmas with some extended family. There was an amazing amount of room for us to visit or get away. It was a bit too cold to hang out in the back yard, but it looked very inviting. The kitchen was very well stocked and made it easy for us to make a delicious turkey dinner. The addition of Disney+ to the channel options was appreciated; even though we're all adults we happily watched Frozen one afternoon! Towels were awesome, beds comfy, pillows a bit too fluffy for some of us, but we figured out work-arounds. Having the washer/dryer ended up being very helpful when one of us spilled juice on our light pants too! Thank you Anthony for a wonderful visit!
