About this property

Old Town with private garden: quiet, spacious, CLEAN!

My recently remodeled 800 sq ft casita is self-contained, cleaned to the highest standards, and feels very spacious. It has a 500 sq ft private garden in a quiet area far from the street which is shaded by a huge tree and has a lawn, water feature, covered wooden deck, and high adobe walls.

Facilities include off-street parking, full and equipped kitchen, dining room, sitting room with Smart TV, huge HE washer and dryer, several large walk-in closets with tons of storage space, newly remodeled bathroom with both bathtub and shower, and queen bed in the quiet bedroom that overlooks the private garden.

This street was voted “Best Street to Live” in Albuquerque's alternative weekly! Located right where Old Town and Downtown meet, this is one of the very few pedestrian-friendly areas in the city. Walk to cafes, restaurants, bars, galleries, spas, shopping, parks, museums, grocery store, farmers' market, public transport, and more! You are also just a few minutes' drive from both I-40 and I-25, and 5-10 minutes from the airport.

Great location!
Walkable to Old Town, downtown and convenient to lots of other activities. We loved that we could ride our bikes directly from the casita to the Paseo del Bosque Trail and get in a nice 20+ mile ride without having to drive to a trailhead. The place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Had a great time!

Most comfortable casita
Nicely furnished casita in historic neighborhood close to downtown ABQ; quiet streets with nice shops (espresso bar and foodie restaurants, etc.) a short walk away.

Cute, Quiet casita in Prime location
Loved Pip's place! Very quiet and private. Best part is proximity to a small grocery store, a coffeehouse and bakery. Full size washer and dryer is such a blessing in a rental. Oh and the cats are super cute too! Thanks Pip!

A Delightful Casita
Not only was Pip's property sparkling clean, it's charming and quiet. It has the best storage I've ever found in a rental. A full kitchen is rare in a rental in this area, as is a full-size washer-dryer. Pip is a professional and thoughtful host. If you're a walker, Old Town is only a few blocks away, as well as some museums. I loved the pizza at the Golden Crown Panaderia. If you're into crystals, don't miss Mama's Minerals. A coffee shop that I haven't visited yet is at the end of the street. If you have a disability, note that the steps between the two levels of the casita are uneven in height and have no handrail.

About the host

Hosted by Pip Lustgarten

Host profile image
I came to Albuquerque from England 21 years ago and never left! I know this city like the back of my hand, have a Master's degree in Southwest Studies, and love to share my insights on local history, culture and places to visit.

All are welcome here. Solo female travelers can feel comfortable renting from another woman (as well as knowing that the windows and doors have security bars). Couples will find the space to be very private and quiet, yet still walking distance to great restaurants. I am active in the New Mexico film scene and love hosting visiting industry folks. The property is well suited to long term rentals as it has a large fridge, huge washer and dryer, and lots of storage space.

I give my guests complete privacy but am available should any problems arise.

What makes this property unique

I-25 and I-40 are both within a few minutes' drive and the airport is an under 10 minute drive. The major bus routes of Lomas, Central, 4th St and 12th St are all within walking distance. Bikes through the pace bike share program are within walking distance, and the first ride is free. The Downtown Rail Runner station, for the train to Santa Fe, is biking distance.
