Welcome to our humble pueblo/Southwestern-style home. This is our 2nd home and a vacation rental. Nestled in Albuquerque's Northeast Heights, this is a comfortable, peaceful place to land while you explore this beloved city.
 
The home is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for groups and families who need room to spread out and a reliable home base to return to after a full day out.

The Space

This is a single family one level home. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is also an office upon entry, a living room that has an open concept with the dining room and kitchen.

Sleeping arrangements:

-The master bedroom has a queen bed and a private en-suite bathroom.
-The second bedroom has a queen bed.
-The third bedroom has two Twin XL that can be pulled together to make a king.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire house, except one of the supply closets. Guests also have access to the garage but it is strictly for using the washer and dryer. Please do not park your car inside the garage although you can park right in the driveway or on the street. There is plenty of space out front with street free parking.

Notes

As this home is also a vacation rental, please send a message to confirm the available calendar dates are accurate. I do try to update it frequently. 

There will also be a cleaning fee of $175 paid to the cleaners.

Getting Around

You will need a car to get around though it amazes us, as LA is our main home, that you can get to one side of town to the other in 15-20 minutes! We love the lack of traffic here (amongst many other things)!

MABEL

Hello! We are so pleased to join the PLU community! We are Mabel and Dario and we swapped the classroom and engineering desk for a much more relaxed pace of life. These days, Mabel can be found escorting her 88-year-old father to the city’s best dim sum spots or tracking down the tallest trees she can find. Dario, on the other hand, lives by a simple philosophy: if it is a Ford and has wheels, it needs tinkering. 

When we are not doing home projects/van projects, we are walking or biking around looking for coffee shops, street art, architecture, or hole-in-the-wall eateries around LA. If we are in our other home in Albuquerque, we are usually looking for a good hot spring to soak in.

While we have successfully done home exchanges on other sites and love the concept, our deep roots and family commitments keep us closer to home right now. Because of this, we are looking for wonderful exchanges located within a manageable 8-to-10-hour drive from Los Angeles. 

Our two dogs are an essential part of our road-trip crew, so we are seeking pet-friendly hosts and, in return, we are absolutely delighted to welcome your own fur family into our Los Angeles home.

We do have 2 homes on this platform and only the LA home can welcome your furry family. We unfortunately cannot welcome pets at the Albuquerque home.
