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!

Great place to stay

The casita loft is very comfortable, efficient and clean. The location in Old Town is very convenient. Easy walk to the galleries and restaurants. We would definitely return when we are in Albuquerque again.

Old Town Casita

Staying at the loft casita was darn near perfect! Location was so wonderful-close to Old Town and so much more. It was the perfect home base for our adventures. Will definitely stay there again!

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

Quiet, clean, central

The check in process was seamless even though we arrived a bit later than expected. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, but also within walking distance of Old Town Plaza and the Sawmill district. We loved staying here and wouldn’t hesitate to again.

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.

Wonderful casita

The location couldn’t be better! It’s centrally located to both the Old Town and downtown Albuquerque, making walking everywhere fun and accessible. The loft casita is located up steep stairs with narrow treads, so I don’t think it would be appropriate for anyone with mobility issues. Parking was not a problem and the general area felt very safe. The property manager is delightful and very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely upstairs studio, fitted out with almost everything a traveller might need and very well located for walking. The property might not be right for people with mobility issues because the entry is extremely tight and there are over a dozen narrow steps to get to the loft. Once up there, the views and comfort are delightful!

location

Place met our needs. We enjoyed the visit to the Sawmill Market nearby for meals, rather than places located in Old Town. Stairs to upper unit is quite steep, so needs to be careful when carrying luggages. Would have been more enjoyable if the weather wasn't so hot.

Best walking vacation ever!

This casita has a very homey feel! It has so many activities within walking distance, we only rented a car for a portion of our trip. The first week we walked everywhere, even to the grocery store. The atmosphere inside/out is comfortable and welcoming! Lily is an amazing hostess! Will definitely come back to stay and recommend others too! This was our first trip to New Mexico.

Lovely little loft

We really enjoyed staying at this nice loft very near Old Town Albuquerque. The place is small, but had everything we needed, and so much was withing walking distance. The enclosed screen porch with chairs and a hanging egg chair immediately became one of our favorite relaxation spots. I can only think of good things to say about this rental. Nice!
