Cute house in a convenient location

We had a great stay. We were in town for a concert at Isleta amphitheater. Location is very convenient to both the the amphitheater and the airport (my wife flew in to town). If you jave a larger vehile you will need to use the street parking, but that was pretty easy and always available right outside the unit. Overall a great stay!

Cozy, clean bungalow

We enjoyed three days in Taryn’s little bungalow. The location was great for access to freeways for our explorations of Albuquerque and area sites. This home was a perfect place to unwind at the end of busy days of sightseeing. The king size bed is amazingly comfortable, and the living room cozy and welcoming. A great place to stay in Albuquerque!

Easy around town location

Cute older house with great access to all over town. Near freeway and restaurants as well as the university. Parking took a minute to understand and was easy thereafter. Street parking Is allowed 24/7 in front of house with the supplied parking permit. READ the welcome packet in the house; so much faster that way. Had a great time./ Recommend.

Charming gem in lovely, quiet neighborhood!

So many VRBOs nowadays are sterile and bland and completely devoid of any character or charm. Taryn’s casita is loaded with charm and has the beautiful patina you would expect from a vintage home, but has been nicely updated where it matters and is clean as a whistle. The mini splits are super quiet and kept us cool during the unseasonably warm weekend we were here. The parking was plentiful and easy and the location is ideally located. We especially loved 2 nearby restaurants: Salt & Board and Mesa Provisions.

Perfect for my needs

Traveling by myself this time, I felt very safe in this house. I had a more stressful trip, not pleasurable visit this time, so I was glad for a safe place to unwind.. plus is an easy location for me to go where I needed. The weather was not cooperating for an everyday view of the Sandia’s, but I know it’s a gorgeous way to rise. I hope it’s available when I need to come back .. thanks Taryn

Really needed more kitchen supplies

It was hard to make a meal since some of the kitchen basics were either worn out or missing. House needs more lighting. Kitchen is dark and hard to find things without enough light. Chairs in the living room were not comfortable at all. Looked nice but felt like sitting on saggy bricks which is an odd combination. Bed was very comfortable though. Walking distance to UNM.

We used the public transportation system, which is currently free. The house has everything needed. Eateries galore in the neighborhood. We would stay here again if returning.
