You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Nob Hill’s Casa Flamingo: King & Queen beds, Safe, Prime Location, Large Yard.

Beautifully remodeled, 1400 sq ft, w/ 3 bedrooms (1 King, 2 Queens), 2 bathrooms, keyless entry, central heating, refrigerated cooling (NOT a swamp cooler).

This house was built in 1941, and has been in my family for 81 years (it is the childhood home of my stepfather, “Dr. Flamingo” - the flamingo theme is a tribute to him).

My property was completely remodeled now featuring:
-A new kitchen w/ all new appliances,
-2 brand new bathrooms,
-Sound insulated windows throughout the house,
-All new plumbing,
-A new electrical panel.
-A new heating/air conditioning system (**refrigerated air & NOT a swamp cooler, as my guests comfort is my #1 priority).

*This amazing property is historical BUT fully updated, lessening the likelihood of any annoying issues during your stay.

Casa Flamingo also received a gorgeous exterior makeover, including new stucco, artistically colored concrete, and beautiful landscaping in the front and backyard.

My home was designed and decorated with a Southwestern vibe, featuring plastered walls painted in warm desert tones, local Native American artwork, pottery, and Mexican serape's. If you want to “feel” like you are staying in New Mexico, this is the authentic Southwestern house for you!

I’m constantly reinvesting in my property, adding decor, fun “touches” and amenities to elevate my guest’s experience. My home is most often described as: comfortable, peaceful, inviting, beautiful, and most important CLEAN. Casa Flamingo has a ton of character and personality- I hope you love it as much as I do.

APD vehicles are parked on the street, right next to my home - Officers with the Albuquerque Police Department live next door (talk about feeling safe!!!). I also have 2 security cameras on the roof of my home, facing the street & driveway (NO cameras inside, nor in or facing the backyard).

The entire home, the large fenced in backyard and a 2 car driveway are available to guests.

The home features a key less entry keypad and deadbolt, for easy self-checkin. I will provide the door codes around noon on the day of your arrival. I am available during your stay, and more than happy to answer questions, simply message me through the site. I'm minutes away and can be here if I am requested/needed otherwise, I will not bother you.

Netflix (my account), and antenna channels, are available on all 4 TVs throughout my home (in addition to Samsung Smart TV channels in the living room).

I provide a Cuisinart coffee pod machine (as well as a regular coffee maker), with an assortment of Kcups, sweetners, creamer, and teas.

Children are welcome and I have a few amenities, as well as electrical outlet covers, but my home is NOT “child proofed” (though I’m more than happy to move decor if requested to).
Caution Areas:
- I have 2 steps going down to the laundry room, and to the EnSuite bedroom.
- I have cacti, and yucca plants in the front, and in the backyard, as well as an agave plant. Please be sure your little ones avoid these small but prickly plants (touching them will hurt). Renters assume full responsibility for the safety of their children when staying on the property.

I have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout my home, as well as a first aid kit, and a fire extinguisher (both under kitchen sink).

*LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION* Casa Flamingo is 6 miles from the airport and located in Nob Hill, near UNM school/hospital, Pope Joy, Presbyterian, State Fair Grounds, & The Downs Racing. Trendy Nob Hill centers on the iconic Route 66, featuring a concentration of diverse locally owned restaurants, within an eclectic shopping district. You will find beer pubs, antique shops, small galleries, a CoOp, and unique boutiques lining Central Ave (Route 66).

Ask any local and they will tell you, Nob Hill is a highly sought after area, and it’s where you want to stay in ABQ. Even cooler, my home is located in the “College View Historic District”, a quiet, safe, and culturally significant area, within Nob Hill. This special district is a 4 block x 4 block section of homes boasting historic examples of Territorial and Pueblo Revival styles, as well as early classic Mediterranean. The neighborhood is established, charming and quiet with a walk score of 85 “very walkable”. A Humble Coffee shop, M’Tucci’s & The Farmacy, are just a few of the many restaurants within walking distance, along with bars, shops, and stores just a few blocks away. I provide a notebook containing my food recommendations including, Scalo, and Tia B’s La Waffleria as well as fun souvenir shopping at “Masks y Mas”. A gorgeous historic Catholic church is located just down the street and a police officer lives next door - you will feel very safe here.

**NO HOT TUB/WHIRLPOOL HERE (this website is glitchy & will not allow me to remove/update the info!!!). This is a beautiful, newly remodeled home, located in one of the best neighborhoods in the city - you will love the Casa Flamingo 🦩 experience.
