So comfortable and inviting, could have stayed right here for a week. Jesse (owner) and Kate (bartender extraordinare) have created a community, family and dog friendly haven - from the unique decor of the suites to the Hoppy Hour trolley car. There is also an outdoor area for lectures (on ghosts when we were there) and music. If food had been served, we'd never have ventured out. (Although, the nearby ABQ Aquarium and Botanical Garden is a must do - as well as Old Town.)

Although it suited us just fine, Painted Lady is in an "older" neighborhood - by design. Quiet hours from 10:00pm to 8:00am are strictly enforced. To us, all this was a plus.

The studio was large, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The private, secure parking space was very welcome. The location is convenient to the old town and some very good eating places. The Sawmill Market with its many food outlets, is very popular. The quirky bar is an interesting attachment. The whole outside space is very attractive and thoughtfully presented with lots of places to relax.

The light by one side of our bed is inadequate to read by. There was no proper iron and ironing board supplied in the room. The owner did, however, take a travel iron and small board from another room for our use on a linen jacket for our return journey home.

The Painted Lady Bed and Brew was a last minute find (booked the day of). It ended up becoming one of our favorite places to stay ... ever! This lodging is housed in an historic building that used to be a brothel AND it has a history of having been haunted (didn't know that until arrival). We booked a suite, and were pleasantly surprised to see that our name had been written in chalk on our door in welcome, even though the property has a keyless entry process. In fact, all the details in our suite (the Jessie Suite) were just divine; they were carefully chosen: to represent the 19th-centuryr and/or ghostly aesthetic (lots of dia de los muertos artwork and film posters, etc). the kitchen was well-appointed, leather couch and beds comfortable. We had our own private back porch too. The property has a wide front porch lined with comfortable rocking chairs. We loved sitting there. But, the details just get better. Every adult guest is greeted with a free home-brewed beer in the property's cozy renovated "ghost streetcar saloon." And, the night we arrived happened to be the free monthly community ghost story telling event right in the garden. We couldn't ask for more ... what a way to spend the evening, and what an amazing find. This lodging is the best. Indeed, it was one of our favorite New Mexico experiences (ranking up there with the Tent Rocks slot canyon hike). Thanks so much. If we visit Albuquerque again, we will return!

Not a thing.

Our family of 4 (kids 12,15) stayed in the Jessie Suite and worked well for our group. We were staying in ABQ for just a couple of nights but didn't want to stay in a hotel...the Painted Lady fit the bill. Although with the full kitchen, we could have stayed much longer! The grounds were very well done and inviting. I can imagine someone having a party/wedding here! The highlight for us and our kids was the Ghost trolley where they served their Painted Lady brew as well as other beverages. The beer was great but the atmosphere was the best part....everyone should have a beer trolley! We walked to dinner both nights we stayed (Cocina Azul-excellent! and the Saw Mill Market-great option for lots of food options and fun outdoor area to sit). Also was close to Old town (15-20 min walk). We met Jesse, the owner, the first night who was working the bar in the trolley. Super nice guy and was happy to support a small business owner with a great vision! Would recommend to stay to anyone.

Lovely, very interesting older building (with a past!) and fun place to stay. Our one bed apartment was large and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen area, and was decorated with lots of memorabilia from its late Victorian heyday. We took advantage of the free late afternoon beer on offer in the wonderfully over-the-top re-purposed old trolleycar and really enjoyed it, with the lovely hostess looking after us very well. The beer (brewed on site) tasted great too. Only 15 minutes walk to Albuquerque Old Town.

Very nice location close to friends we were visiting. Also easy access to highway 40. Room was very comfortable and included a kitchen. Bed was good. Loved the brewery in the back and a complimentary beer was included each night we stayed.

Everything was good.

This place is a masterpiece of attention to detail. Everything about it was excellent. No detail was missed and quality of ownership was evident in every detail. Kudos to the owner, Jessie, for the fine work he did.

Nothing that we did not like or appreciate

Very quaint and unique lodging. Hospitality was impeccable. Location is fantastic. Other guests were very friendly. Trolley is super fun. Had a nice fire in the courtyard before bed. Overall a wonderful experience.

Everything was superb. No complaints.

Spacious, quirky accommodation. Immaculately clean. Fascinating decor with explanatory notes on the premises history. Wonderful free beer on the tramcar during 'Hoppy Hour'. Friendly, knowledgeable host. Thank you Jesse!

The grounds are charming, private and secure. We loved the spacious room. Jesse has thoughtfully attended to every detail: historic and artistic touches, plus practical kitchen and bathroom items. The place is spotless.
