Homes in Albuquerque

ABQ HUB of Sawmill District
We stayed here a month and we were very comfortable. It came to feel like home. The bedrooms are cozy and the black out curtains make it incredibly easy to sleep in. The location is ideal for walking to Old Town, biking to the great ABQ bike paths, and driving to necessary shopping. There is a natural food co-op just 5 minutes away and Walmart is less than 10 easy minutes away. Great place. The owners are responsive and caring. Four thumbs up ( from the two of us).

Feel at Home , Far from Home
Top notch 😊 We enjoyed our stay everything was perfect It’s by far the best home far from home stay Thank you Luis 10/10

Comfortable 3-bedroom home with spacious backyard
The Home was extremely clean, Definitely one of our favorite places that we’ve stayed at. Will come back again if we’re in town!

Heart of Nob Hill
A cozy little home in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated with New Mexico flavor. Hostess is wonderful to work with and is always available to help if needed. Our second stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

MidCentury Midtown home (Northeast) Albuquerque
The house was comfortable and looked liked the pictures. Nice to have coffee already in the house. Close to restaurants.

Beautiful home. Walking distance to Uptown Mall
Jeffrey went beyond what he had advertised in the listing. Want to go back to Albuquerque just to stay at his home.

A Quiet Corner in Four Hills
This stay was quite a shock when we walked in the door; it is huge!! The house is 2,500 square feet of open spaces inside and great amounts of privacy from the outside world. Not a whole lot of interior furniture at the time of our stay (April of ‘25), but what was there provided a comfortable and homey atmosphere. Sadly, we did not receive check-in or check-out instructions before we arrived at the location, so I had to contact the host to know how to get in. Nonetheless, she answered promptly and gave clear instructions once she was aware. The garage parking was a huge selling point for me; the neighborhood seems quite affluent and felt very safe. This place is an absolute steal at the price, so I’d recommend booking this place while the prices are are great!

Casa De Kokopelli
We had such a lovely stay! The home was super comfy. Very welcoming. Everything was clean and thoughtfully set up, and the hot tub was a huge bonus ! Perfect for unwinding at the end of the day with the garden lights. Used the Blackstone to whip up bacon, eggs, and pancakes in the morning. Amazing addition! And now something we’ll look for in future stays. Highly recommend!

University District Guesthouse-Minutes to Nob Hill
We had to book a last minute stay in ABQ to attend a Memorial Service for a dear friend so we made the 2-day drive from Reno. Emily & James's place popped up and was reasonable in cost and a good location as well as pet friendly (we have a Service Dog and a new little Rescue). Many Airbnb's do not match either their description or the photos - this place exceeds it! The Studio Casita is perfect for a couple with stylish and functional furniture, well laid out with many special touches that help make the stay comfortable. Everything you could think of is provided. When we arrived, I discovered that there was no hairdryer (a previous renter may have taken it). A new one was delivered by Target the same day! Beautiful Hyder Park is a short walk away - a haven and playground for our pups. While our trip was not the happiest of times, we were grateful to have landed in a place that felt welcoming and was so comfortable! We will definitely come back!

Radiant Historic Downtown Home | Beautiful Walk
Charming railroad-style apartment with a lovely kitchen, tons of natural light, and a cozy bedroom, located in a quiet neighborhood across from a park. This is a smaller space without a "formal" living room, but the kitchen island is spacious and there's a nice spot to read/hang out. The carport and washer/dryer were great perks. Ian and Emilie were friendly and responsive, and their guide included great recommendations. Would absolutely book again.

Beautiful 3 bed 2 bath family home with RV parking
This place was exactly as described! My family and I felt quite comfortable staying there. I would definitely recommend staying here.

North Valley Hideaway
Wonderful private and peaceful guest house. I have stayed at several places in Albuquerque and this is definitely one of my favorites! My dog also enjoyed the space and solitude. Brent was super responsive and helpful! I was glad to meet him as I really enjoyed the comfort of his guest house and wanted to share the experience with him. The house was well stocked with all noted amenities and very clean. I appreciated the little hospitality touches as well. Thanks again Brent for sharing your guest house!

Old Town ABQ casita, attentive host, original art
This was a great location to get to everything! We felt comfortable and safe. The little private garden was such a plus. We hope to stay here again.

Downtown Casita / Guesthouse
Wow! What an awesome place to stay! We were traveling from CA to TX and needed just a stay for one night with our dog. Hosts were very welcoming and it was a great, safe, and private location. The bed was comfortable and was so nice to have clean and fresh linens! It was set up great and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks to the hosts for doing such a great job!

The Ivy House - A Dash of Paradise
Laura was extremely friendly, making sure we were comfortable and showing us every corner of her beautiful home. The backyard is a dream. Everything is clean and tidy, and you truly feel at home. She left us brochures showing us interesting spots in the city. The area is super quiet and safe, near food places. We'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay and Michelle's house was just perfect. Spacious and comfy. We will stay again next time we're in town. Fabulous! Thank you!

Sara's Casita on Summer. Amazing location!
We had a lovely stay at Sara's. It was very walkable to Old Town and there was a great coffee shop a couple of blocks away. The casita was clean and comfortable and Sara was very friendly and accommodating.

Spacious Rio Rancho Home
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The house was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully furnished with everything we could need. The kitchen was well-stocked with coffee, tea, and other essentials, making us feel right at home. Host was fantastic—super responsive and attentive to our needs. They even went out of their way to drop off water bottles for us during our stay, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. This home exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free stay!

Perfect Family Friendly Home in Nob Hill
This is a perfect vacation listing for a couple or small family visiting Albuquerque. The Nob Hill neighborhood is fun and eclectic with excellent restaurants at every turn. The huge back yard is great for kids or sky watching at night. The home is very tidy and includes a bedroom that kids will feel comfortable in right away. A+

The Village Casita
Had a great stay at Steven's place. Cozy, comfortable home with a great patio. Loved the location as well. Steven was very helpful and quick to respond to our requests. Loved having full cable and not just a smart TV.

Mountain side gem
Kevin’s place was great. We slept good with no noise throughout the night. The beds were comfortable and clean. There was plenty of room for my family of 4. I would highly recommend Kevin’s place for anyone looking for an affordable place to stay.

Cloudview charming 2 bedrooms townhouse.
Bo's place has all the comforts of home. Beautifully decorated inside and outside. We enjoyed our stay. Bo is friendly and quick to respond to our questions. Would love to stay again on our next trip to Albuquerque.

Your guide to Albuquerque
All About Albuquerque
Albuquerque is one of New Mexico’s cultural hubs, a desert city steeped in the history of its Indigenous peoples and Spanish heritage. This rich heritage is exemplified in its local art and history museums, and through its Pueblo architecture with curved edges and earthen hues. As you wander the 18th-century Old Town, red brick walkways lead you to the Old Town Plaza, where the church of San Felipe de Neri towers above shops selling turquoise jewelry and artwork. You’ll also find cafes and restaurants serving New Mexican staples like chile rellenos, carne adovada, and plenty of green chili-flavored dishes.
Route 66 runs through the center of Albuquerque, dotted with bars and nightlife offerings casting a neon glow on the iconic highway. Just outside the city, the Sandia Foothills provide ample opportunities for hikes, and you may just spot mule deer, rabbits, and the occasional rattlesnake.
To cool off during the summer, you can paddle board along the mighty Rio Grande that runs through the city. Come winter, you’ll find skiing and snowboarding less than an hour away in the Sandia Mountains.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Albuquerque
With more than 300 days of sun throughout the year, bright days and blue skies are never in short supply here. The desert climate may imply constant heat, but seasonal weather conditions and temperatures can vary drastically. Albuquerque offers the Downtown Growers’ Market during the summer months, which can reach points of sweltering heat, but frequent afternoon showers — July through October is the rainiest time — help keep things comfortable. Winter conditions see temperatures often plummet to freezing. However, the area is relatively arid during this period, at least in the city. The surrounding mountains get inundated with snow during this time, providing excellent skiing opportunities.
The shoulder seasons in Albuquerque are popular due to mild temperatures for exploring the city and surrounding nature parks. Fall is a particular favorite for vacation rentals partly due to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in October. This nine-day event attracts nearly a million visitors and more than 500 hot-air balloon operators from around the world. The celebration includes twilight balloon runs, balloon competitions, chainsaw carving, vendors, street food, and fireworks.
Top things to do in Albuquerque
Petroglyph National Monument
This anthropological site on the edge of town is one of the continent’s largest petroglyph sites, with more than 25,000 basalt etchings dating back to nearly 2,000 B.C. Miles of trail systems cut through the stark and beautiful landscape filled with scrub brush and volcanic rock that is home to several species of lizards and snakes, and fields of wildflowers.
Albuquerque Museum
Located just off Route 66, the Albuquerque Museum focuses on the region’s unique style of art and storied history. Permanent exhibits showcase Indigenous art styles in the form of paintings and hanging sculptures. Photo galleries detail the region’s local history, peoples, and cultures.
La Luz Trail
For a strenuous adventure in the Sandia Mountains, the La Luz Trail is a popular challenge. The path runs less than nine miles with an elevation gain of 3,200 vertical feet. Along the way, you’ll be treated to dramatic views of the Albuquerque landscape, particularly at the end, where you can grab a bite with a panoramic view at 10,300 feet above sea level before taking a tram down the mountain.
