If the option of walking to some of Albuquerque's premier attractions appeals to you, then this self-contained cottage may be what you're looking for. A 10-minute-stroll takes you to Old Town with its plaza and shopping opportunities as well as to adjacent museums. Another 10 minutes' walk and you're at the Albuquerque Botanical Gardens and Aquarium. Fast walkers can be at the Albuquerque Convention Center near historic Central Avenue/Route 66 in 20 minutes. Do you like the idea of staying in your own little house and enjoying your morning coffee or tea in the privacy of your kitchen or outdoor patio? Does sitting at a sheltered little goldfish pond just outside your bedroom window sound sound relaxing? Would you like the option of preparing your own meals at home? Do you like to have art gracing the walls of your lodging? La Casita may be just what you're looking for.

Exceptional hosts and charming atmosphere

A 'home' away from home can make all the difference in one's experience and La Casita contributed so much to my time in Albuquerque. The location was terrific - Passing through the neighborhood behind the house, there's a wonderful park with ponds - and access to a bike trail along the canal. And the house itself! the gardens! such creative use of available space - inside, the paintings, the furnishings, the general decor and details were so interesting, and extremely comfortable. Joseph and Bill were accommodating and always helpful. I'd love to stay again sometime and will certainly recommend La Casita to others.

La Casita

Submitted: September 11, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
It has been a great pleasure to stay in your beautiful casita! It has everything one could possibly want for a few days away. The house is enchanting and the garden is delightful - we particularly enjoyed the seating area by the pond; just watching the fish - listening to the waterfall is so relaxing!! Thank you for everything - hopefully one day we will be back.

Perfect Home Away from Home

5 of 5
Submitted: July 20, 2011 Stayed: July 2011
La Casita was a case of love at first sight! The owners, Bill and Joseph, have created an adorable, cozy home for visitors that is spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The artwork and knick-knacks are a charming, pleasing blend of pieces to give La Casita an early 20th-century period feel (the adobe cottage is over 100 years old). The koi pond, a very private outdoor sitting area, is an absolutely perfect place to have morning tea or coffee, to relax with a book, or to listen to and watch the finches and hummingbirds. The location, on the edge of downtown yet safe and serene, is an easy walk to Old Town and museums. And Monroe's, an ABQ institution across the street, serves tasty, inexpensive NM lunches and dinners. Any questions? Joseph and Bill live next door and are very knowledgeable about the ABQ area. If you visit La Casita, you won't want to leave!

Thank you for an enchanting stay in beautiful La Casita. It was a lovely way to celebrate 25 yrs. of marriage! The atmosphere was cozy and each time I glanced around the house something caught my eye, it was a delight!

I love waking to the chirping birds and the sound of the water fountain. My evening pleasure is a stroll through the neighborhood. Then . . . catching the few minutes of 'watermelon' color on the Sandias at sunset. Thank you for this ABQ sanctuary.
