About the host
Hosted by Mark Rickert
Being a host is one of the most fun Karla and I (Mark) have had in a long time. We absolutely love pleasing guest and making their stay super comfortable. We are always looking for new ways to bring thoughtful touches to deliver a memorable experience for our guests. Its a lot of fun! We are full time real estate developers, brokers and real estate investors. When we are not working we are either watching sports or playing with our two German Shepherds and our MinPin, and our lovable rescue.
Why they chose this property
We love the convenience of the neighborhood to the freeway, only 45 minutes to Santa Fe and on 25 minutes to Old Town in Albuquerque, plus Northeast is one of THE very best areas of Albuquerque. Tons of restaurants near abd of course the Balloon Fiesta Park is in walking distance. We also like having Wildflower Park so close to walk to.
What makes this property unique
Our super fine mattresses and linens really stand out. Guests always tell us how comfortable they are. We only use the finest linens, just like the Ritz! Outdoor living is nice too with the outdoor lounge. There is so much we offer
