About this property

Gorgeous Casita In The Heart Of Historic Old Town

Enchanting Private Casita in the heart of Albuquerque's Historic Old Town, with all the charm and character you would expect in Old Town. Two minute walk to the central plaza, shops, and galleries. 20+ restaurants and cafes within a half mile, less than 5 minute stroll to most. And, the following Albuquerque museums are all less than 400 yards from our casita: Albuquerque Museum of Art, Museum of Natural History, and Explora Science Center (which is interactive and GREAT for kiddos too)! The location of this comfy cozy romantic casita is perfect for any visit to Albuquerque, especially if you do not want to drive everywhere. Enjoy evening/weekend events and concerts all year round, but especially summer, Balloon Fiesta, and Christmas. Christmas in Old Town is an experience everyone should have at least once in their lives! Bike from our driveway to the Zoo or the Rio Grande River Bosque Trail, where you can ride along the river without ever crossing traffic for 20+ miles. Your host Lily, who lives in the main house, will make you feel welcome and at home, but also give you privacy, as if you have your own little resort retreat, right in the middle of old town. This separate private upstairs Casita is a 700 sqft SECOND FLOOR private/separate loft style unit with a bright open studio floorplan, with a queen bed and full sized futon for extra guests or kiddos. You have your own locked entrance, tuscan country kitchen, queen bed, couch, cable TV and internet, bathroom w shower, and deck, where you can enjoy our wonderful climate year round and hear the excitement and energy of Old Town beckoning! We LOVE pets, but this unit is not available for pets.

The property was quiet and very cozy, easy walking to many things in Old town and Arts district. The property was undergoing some kind of bathroom renovation, so I had no shower hot water for a couple days and had to live with a very funky chemical smell in the bath - but Lily was very responsive to getting this sorted during my stay.

Lily’s casita is the perfect place for a getaway especially if you don’t have a car. It is situated in a quiet little street within a 5 minute walk of old town. It is easy walking distance to a grocery store for any essentials. The upstairs apartment is roomy with its own balcony. Although it is an older casita it is great value for money. Lily is a wonderful host.

Cleaning was mediocre. Sinks had a dark ring around the drain that can be removed with a good product and elbow grease…

Overall nice stay...nicely appointed studio. I did have one issue. The owner lives downstairs and if you have an issue with odors, there was a strong smell from cooking when i arrived at midnight. It threw me for a minute...

So relaxing!

After driving for almost 3 hours in the summer heat it was a wonderful thing to walk in and have the room cool and the TV on a relaxing channel of gentle water. We especially enjoyed the balcony porch. I wake up earlier than my husband and I enjoyed watching the sun come up. Loved being in walking distance to Old Town. Hot tub was great in the coolness of the early morning. Great place to stay and return to if we are ever back in Albuquerque.

Amazing casita

The casita was outstanding. Had everything we needed and more. Location was amazing and the neighborhood was very safe. I wish we would’ve known before booking that the hot tub is technically shared between this rental unit, another rental unit, and the main living quarters. Due to this, we did not end up using the hot tub as we had planned. But even with this considered, I would book this casita time and time again. It fit every part of our needs and was such a beautiful space.My partner and I also did not care for the memory foam firm mattress, but I’m only including this for people who may read my review and have a sensitive back.

Perfect home base for a visit to ABQ

Wow, it's so nice. Spacious and attractive. The enclosed balcony with mountain view is everything!!!! There's a hot tub and a sauna! Which is good, because it gets really cold at night and the morning. In the winter anyway. The location is magnificent. Old Town is the only place in Albuquerque you want to be staying.The location is ma
