Great little casita

Second time to stay here and plan to stay here again. Parts of the neighborhood are a little more transitional than preferred but as long as you don’t like long walks after dark, it’s fine.

Lovely Casita

We arrived here after a long drive. It’s just as described in the listing. It’s in a quiet area even though it’s close to the interstate. We loved the patio and especially the hot tub. It’s perfect for a single person or couple. The host is quick to respond to any of your questions or needs! We would stay here again when traveling in the area.

Hidden gem!!

This place was awesome!! Great decor and attention to detail all the way down to the silverware!! Wish we could have stayed longer because the place was so clean and comfortable. After 9 hours on the road, the spa felt amazing and was already warmed up! So many nice touches here, a true hidden gem! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Welcoming casita

The casita was very cute and convenient to the freeway. It was very clean and the host provided all of the necessary items needed for our stay. The back patio was fenced in and was a fun space for relaxing. The neighborhood is in the process of transitioning, and some houses are in good repair and others need a lot of work.

Vegas road trip

My husband and I arrived after dark and communication with host was good. Property was as expected with some very thoughtful extras. Only very minor complaint would be the floors were sticky from the pine cleaner used to mop with. Minor issue for sure. The location is very nice . Bed was super comfy with nice king size pillows that weren’t too soft. We’d definitely stay here again!

I wanna go back!

From start to finish, my stay at the Desert Chic Casita ("DDC") was fantabulous! This visit was for my 59th birthday, so I had high hopes and expectations. My main goal was to check off a hot air balloon ride from bucket list. (And that was amazing) But having the DDC as my landing space made the trip 500% more special. Look at the pictures - the actual space was even better. The attention to detail - the labeling of the light switches; the overhead lighting switch right by the bed; the snack collection; the robes for the hot tub - all made my visit to the DDC memorable and just what I wanted. The hosts were communicative and helpful. The location (less than 15 mins from the airport) was excellent and convenient to the highways, restaurants and other Albuquerque attractions. I would visit again tomorrow if I could. 5 stars is not enough.
