We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The White House in Albuquerque! The home was perfect for our visit — super cute, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed (even zip lock baggies, which was such a nice touch!).The backyard was a highlight — peaceful and well-maintained, ideal for sipping morning coffee or unwinding by the fire in the evening.Our host, Sarah, was amazing. She was responsive, thoughtful, and available to answer all of our questions before, during, and even after our stay. Her attention to detail and hospitality really made our experience feel special.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Albuquerque!

What a great place for the end of a girls' trip to New Mexico. Sarah couldn't have been kinder or easier to talk with. We were welcomed with fun snack choices and a beautiful place to stay. We loved heading out back in the evenings and early mornings for coffee or wine. It's such a pretty, quiet and private space. The house was clean, well stocked with all we needed, and decorated with a cute nostalgic vibe. We even listened to albums on the record player. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms clean and convenient. We loved the location--easy access to groceries, to the Tramway Blvd, Anteeks, and it was a quick drive to the airport for an early morning departure. I highly recommend The White House!

Very nice home convenient to airport, great host communication

We just stayed one night prior to an early morning flight but would stay again for sure. Everything is new and updated, well equiped. The yard is large with plenty of seating, lighting, fenced in. Best of all, the host sent us a short video on how to operate the door lock. We've had trouble with these before, so this was much appreciated!

A lovely home in Albuquerque

The White House is a lovely home, centrally located in Albuquerque. The house was perfectly clean, with everything in working order. Communication with the Host was easily available when needed, and very friendly. I loved the back yard, it looked magically lit up at night. The inside is very recently updated, stylishly, tastefully decorated and very well appointed. A calm relaxing atmosphere extends throughout the home. Highly recommend!

Everything was Perfect!!!

My billiards team and I stayed here during our tournament at Billiards Palace. It was so close (2 min away), very clean and the communication with our host was flawless. The decor/beds were on point and amenities were a great touch (coffee, shampoo, etc). The patio is one of the most gorgeous ones I’ve seen in ABQ. We will definitely be coming back. :)

Gorgeous little house in neat Albuquerque neighborhood

We're a family of four (all adults) and stayed in the house over Thanksgiving. The updates made on the house were beautiful and well done. The house had classy, mid-century decor, the rooms felt larger than we were expecting. Overall we felt very comfortable. We had everything we needed, including all utensils needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner. This even included a cheese cheese grater in which we were especially impressed! The neighborhood is close to Uptown (the mall area of town), and I'd describe the street it was on as up-and-coming, with a lot of fun businesses and restaurants. We also felt close to downtown and the airport. There was a park close to the house as well. The check-in process was super easy, and the host was extremely responsive and helpful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent, affordable option in Albuquerque!

Wonderful

Ours was a quick trip to Albuquerque to visit a long-time friend that had recently relocated there. In my experience it is hard to find a property owner willing to rent for a one night stay on relatively short notice. Sarah made this work for us. It should be noted that the house is on a fairly busy street, but this was a benefit and not a detriment. Great location and easy to find - so convenient and close to the areas we were visiting. Sarah was so great. Amazingly fast to respond to communication. She did extra things like personally bring a larger coffee maker before we arrived since there were 3 big-time coffee drinkers in our group. The house itself was spotless and so comfortable. We were only in Albuquerque 22 hours, and my only regret was that we didn't have time to relax and enjoy the amazing backyard of this home. The photos of the backyard don't do it justice. We will definately be back to Albuquerque and the White House will always be our first choice. Just hope we can stay longer next time. Thanks SO MUCH!!!
