Connie's House - Route 66 Nob Hill

Connie's House - Route 66 Nob Hill

8/10 Good
"Connie’s House is a beautifully preserved older adobe‑style home that made our stay in Albuquerque feel truly local and authentic. The neighborhood is full of historic homes, and Connie’s place fits right in with its classic Southwestern charm.Inside, the furnishings were all lovely antiques, thoughtfully chosen and well cared for. The home has a warm, lived‑in character that feels both welcoming and unique. We especially appreciated the comfortable TV room — a perfect spot to relax in the evenings.One feature that gave us real peace of mind was the secure gated parking. The gate locks behind your car, and that added an extra sense of safety throughout our stay.Overall, Connie’s House is a charming adobe‑style retreat with personality, comfort, and security. We truly enjoyed our time there and would happily return if ever in Albuquerque again."

Beautiful southwest casita in walking distance to historic Nob Hill on Route 66.

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at the casita. It’s located a block down from Route 66 so you could walk to a lot of great restaurants and enjoy the nostalgia. There are also a couple great places right on the block, had an excellent crepe at Limonata’s and yummy coffee at Michael Thomas Roasters. We were visiting for the Ballon Festival and had great weather. The casita is so comfortable and has everything you need. We enjoyed sitting outside in the beautiful landscaped private yard. Peter was a great host and quick to respond to any questions. Would highly recommend staying here."
