Finally, back on AirBnb after more than 4 years, this is your chance to stay in this truly special home. This adorable 1930's New Mexican style adobe home is part of the Old Town historic district of Albuquerque. Perfectly romantic, this traditional casa is walkable to the center of Old Town Plaza, 5 museums, 30+ restaurants, shopping, parks, and more! The space Our wonderful little home was built by hand in 1932 in the traditional New Mexican Adobe style. Thick walls made of baked earth (adobe) then coated with stucco and topped with a flat roof. This is the basis of construction unique to New Mexico and the southwest. Full of character, with brick floors, uneven exposed ceiling beams, 18in thick walls, and contrasted with an updated bathroom. This home is in the historic Old Town District and cannot be externally modified due to its historical nature, yet the interior does not lack any of the modern amenities. A perfect blend of old-century charm and modern comfort. Important Note: Our quirky home has 1-2 steps going from each room to another. If you are uncomfortable or struggle with steps then this may not be the home for you. You can see the steps in a few of the pictures.
