We had a wonderful stay at Rebecca and Larry's home in Albuquerque, Their house is very comfortable, well equiped with everything you need and we were spoilt with a variety of local goodies.We enjoyed just hanging out on the patio in the afternoon and have a glass of wine. It was our first time in New Mexico and we loved the mixture of Indian, Mexican and Spanish culture. There is plenty to do, interesting museums, festivals, beautiful scenery, petroglyphs, good restaurants... We also visited, Santa Fe, Taos and Jemez. We had already met Rebecca and Larry in Barcelona and our communication previous and during the exchange has always been excellent. Thank you both so much for your generous hospitality.

We had such a wonderful stay at Larry & Rebecca’s beautiful home. We also looked after their Kitty who was so cute and loving. The loveliest and most thoughtful hosts who definitely went above and beyond, we can’t thank you enough. We loved Albuquerque and squeezed a lot into the week, hot air ballooning, running/hiking Sandia peak and the tramway, the zoo, exploring historic old town and the Pueblo culture, petroglyphs, yummy Mexican food, River of lights festival and needed more time to see Santa Fe and White sands, we will have to come back!!

We had a splendid time exploring New Mexico from the super comfortable and beautiful home of Rebecca and Larry. Having never spent any time in the American Southwest, we were thrilled to discover how much we liked it! There was plenty to do...lots of festivals, events, museums etc....and the scenery was dramatic and very beautiful. We also enjoyed just hanging out on the patio because the weather was perfect (not humid!), the neighborhood was so quiet, and the yard was so beautiful. We had the care of Chiquita, the cutest and sweetest kitty ever. Apart from a minor medical emergency, this was one of the best trips we've had and we would highly recommend New Mexico and Rebecca and Larry's house in particular.

Thank you so much Rebecca and Larry for a wonderful exchange. New Mexico was not originally on our list of places to visit, but now we will recommend it to all. Albuquerque is a great city filled with outdoor activities, historical venues, and a ton of restaurants. We also visited Durango, Santa Fe, and Mesa Verde National Park - all within a beautiful drive from Albuquerque. Rebecca and Larry’s home offers every comfort, including a stunning backyard. Many mornings I sat outside to read and enjoy the high desert climate. We will definitely be back to further explore the amazing state of New Mexico!

We want tell everyone about our wonderful experience at Rebecca and Larry’s home (Casa Sandia) in Albuquerque, NM Here's what we loved: First, LOCATION: We enjoyed the interesting terrain of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We never grew tired of the lovely view of the Sandia Mountains from the home’s courtyard and second story porch! And we could hop in the car and be in the Sandia foothills within a few minutes, where we could hike on well-kept trails, enjoy a picnic at the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area, and/or watch the sun set over the city. The home is in a quiet neighborhood in Northeast Albuquerque, with easy access to all of the interesting and fun things to do in Albuquerque and nearby towns. 2nd, THINGS TO DO: We were there for two weeks and we didn’t come close to doing all that we would have liked to do. One of our favorite things was learning about the Native American Pueblo culture. But we also enjoyed hiking, biking, museums, shopping, (and of course dining). The tram to the Sandia Peak (elevation 10,300, and the longest aerial tramway in America) is just minutes away from the house and there’s a restaurant at the top. The town of Santa Fe (and all the interesting things that it offers) is less than an hour’s drive (or a bit over an hour by train.). That’s the most famous of the nearby towns but there are many others. We hope to come back to visit the ones we missed this time. 3rd, CASA SANDIA: Rebecca and Larry’s spacious and light-filled home was so welcoming, with comfy sleeping spaces, lots of storage space for our things, spacious bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, good wi-fi and a large-screen TV. Plus a courtyard that wraps around the house with fountains, flowers, fruit trees, and hummingbirds! 4th, WONDERFUL HOSTS: Rebecca and Larry may be new to home exchanging, but they are clearly natural-born hosts whose goal is to provide the best possible experience for their guests. We are grateful for their generosity, attentive planning, and great communication. We also enjoyed having Chiquita, their pretty little cat, as a roommate. (That was optional, but we are fond of cats, and happy to have her with us. It didn’t take her long to warm up and she provided us with occasional snuggles and lots of laughs.) We didn’t get to meet Rebecca and Larry on this trip but we hope our paths will cross in the future; we’d love to exchange with them again.
