Photos and Description of the Albuquerque vacation studio rental
Sleeps 2-4 People, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, private courtyard, private entrance

You'll rarely encounter anyone else on the property as you stay in this quiet circa mid 1800s suite (not a studio) behind thick terrone adobe walls. As an owner/partner in three other successful vacation rentals, this is my newest foray into the market. This suite with 300 square-foot private courtyard and private entrance is just across the street from Tiguex Park, and surrounded by The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, The New Mexico Museum of Natural History, and Explora Children's Museum. It's mere steps from the Old Town Plaza, where Albuquerque was founded in 1706. It boasts a scenic plaza with gazebo surrounded by adobe buildings and San Felipe de Neri church (you can hear the bells ringing for the morning call to worship). The property where you'll stay was started in the mid-1800s and constructed of thick 'terrone' adobe, making the walls about two-feet thick, making for a quiet retreat. High ceilings are of wooden beams from the historic sawmill (now defunct).

About Jana Lee Aspin

Hello! Thank you for considering this lovely suite with private entrance and private courtyard. I'm a partner in three other successful vacation rentals here in Old Town. This one is my own personal rental. I've lived in New Mexico most of my life and have a background in hospitality, so I'm very well-versed about Albuquerque and the state. I dabble in many things.. I'm a Realtor, and I do home staging. With my boyfriend, I collaborate on art pieces...I do fused glass, welding, and copper enameling and he's a furniture-maker/woodworker. I'm a retired hot air balloon pilot, so I can make recommendations about balloon chasing, balloon rides and about the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Why Jana Lee Aspin chose Albuquerque

I fell in love with this house when I came to review it as a Realtor several years ago. It needed some work (actually, lots of work), but I saw the potential inside the thick terrone adobe walls, its beamed ceilings and location in the heart of Old Town across from the park and the museums. I love the fact that three museums are mere steps away as are a myriad of restaurants. I like not having to get into my car and drive to get to somewhere special.

What makes this studio unique

The best bennies about staying at this property are the ambience...right across from awesome museums and a beautiful park....and the softness of the adobe walls and their sound-muffling character. It's very private with its own entrance and large courtyard so that travelers don't have to feel like they're going to encounter anyone else on the property. I also like that it feels like I'm on vacation and away from it all when I'm inside the suite. I can watch television, listen to music, lay back and read a book. I can simply go across the street to the park and have a picnic lunch or walk a few more steps and see an Imax movie at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History or go see the latest art exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History in just a 2-minute walk. Families with kids will love that thay can take a quick stroll to the other side of the park to Explora Childrens Museum. Just four minutes on foot and I can be at the plaza in Old Town where Albuquerque was founded in 1706. If I want a fine restaurant I can take a 7-minute walk to Season's off Mountain Road or to Crepe Michele in Old Town. I like that I don't have to leave my neighborhood to have so many fun things to do at my fingertips.

Location, location, location! This boutique-style vacation suite decorated with original art by fine New Mexico artists is in the much-desired Old Town. When you stand in your private courtyard or look outside your door you'll see Tiguex Park with its acres of grass, shade trees, exercise equipment and a playground surrounded by the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, The New Mexico Museum of Natural History, and Explora Children's Museum. The property is mere steps from Old Town plaza where Albuquerque was founded in 1706. Old Town is the number one visitor attraction in the city with its shaded plaza surrounded by adobe buildings and San Felipe de Neri church. It features restaurants, galleries and shopping along with entertainment and events year-round. Downtown is only a couple of miles away with nightlife, galleries, a Century 14 Downtown movie theater, good dining and shopping along the old Route 66. Also along Route 66 and only minutes from Old Town is Nob Hill where you can find a myriad of restaurants, galleries, shopping and night clubs to your taste. This property is less than a mile from Interstate 40, which gives you quick access to all areas of the city such as Uptown, the west-side Petroglyph National Monument, the Sandia Peak Tramway (the world's longest jig-back tram), Sandia Peak Ski Area, and the east mountain area for hiking, site-seeing, and picknicking. Albuquerque boasts many city-owned golf courses with mild temperatures generally suited for year-round play. With the close proximity of I-40 it's easy to get to events such as the renowned Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. And if you're in town for the annual Christmas Eve luminaria display, you won't need to drive from this property since it's the heart of the event.

Planned on staying 3 nights and ended up staying 5. Loved the location and the casita was decorated beautifully....the attached, walled courtyard was an unexpected gem. It was very clean and Jana was available as needed. There is a big park right across the street so if you have a dog, the park is a great benefit. My only comment to potential guests is that it is very compact so, if you have lots of luggage or feel the need to really spread out, this may not be the place for you....I would say a maximum of 2 people fit it. However, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for the great review and for being my guests. I try to let folks know that this is a suite (not a studio or a casita). Unfortunately VRBO and Homeaway don't yet have a "studio" category. I keep hoping!

We found the "studio" while small, a great place to rest and refresh. It was clean and well maintained. Jana was very helpful with any questions and quick to return our telephone call. With the off street parking and secure gates (to the patio and the automatic operating parking gate) we felt very secure. We had family members attending a conference at the The Albuquerque Hotel which we could from the studio. It was within easy walking distance as was "Old Town" , the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History and New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. In summary it was a very great place to stay.

Owner's Response: So glad you stayed here in Old Town and that it was convenient! The "studio" issue is one that I've tried to address with VRBO/Homeaway as they don't have a listing for "suites". They've advised me that "studio" is the best way to list. Maybe one day they'll have a category for suites. Thanks much for your kind words.

Perfect place to stay near Old Town

I just spent the week in this very cute little casita. It is 2 blocks from Old Town, so an easy 5 minute walk. The owner, Jana, was so caring, considerate and attentive to my needs. I didn't want to come home because I was so comfortable and well taken care of. The beds were comfy, the water pressure just fine, great AC so was never hot (and it was hot outside), and the patio was nice for privacy. The location is directly across the street from a beautiful park that was always filled with people. I felt like I was in a very safe and friendly neighborhood. Jana has a list of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. waiting, complete with maps. Most helpful. Great feeling staying there. Thank you Jana (and Steve).
