Elegant, contemporary 2BR/2BH flat, conveniently located in downtown. Enjoy the best restaurants and entertainment within an easy walking distance! Movie theater, library, museums, swimming pool, YMCA, Starbucks, playground, hospital, bus stops, and the best trails of LA are only minutes away. 5 min driving to LANL, 3 min to Smith's grocery store.
This beautiful, tastefully decorated flat with European flair will immediately make you feel at home (and a little bit in Europe :)). We've added many personal touches to create a warm, cozy, relaxing environment - great books, plants, artistic paintings by our friends, and a few antiques (1930's Native American bow with arrows is our favorite).
The property is ideally located close to all amenities of downtown and within a short 5 min drive (or nice 20-30 minutes walk) to LANL. Great restaurants, coffee shops, museums, live music, an intricate network of trails - all are within a few minutes of walking!
Kitchen comes fully stocked for the real chef. It is complete with full sized refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, coffee makers (yes, a few, because people have preferences :) ), toaster, stand and hand mixers, food processor, blender, rice cooker, pots, pans, dishes, containers, mugs, wine glasses, utensils, etc. In the cabinets you'll find coffee, tea and cereal. Our guests often leave extra food in the fridge, feel free to use whatever inspires you, but please check the expiration date.
Master bedroom has a King size bed with the comfortable posturepedic memory foam mattress, a second bedroom has a twin day bed with a second twin mattress on a trundle that slides out from underneath. The second bedroom has a desk and can also be used as an office. Bath robes, bed linens, duvet covers, and towels are provided. In the closet you will find extra towels, sheets, blankets, pillows.
There are two bathrooms in the unit. One has a shower and is connected to the Master bedroom, another bathroom has a bathtub. Enjoy a deep bathtub and a never-ending supply of hot water coming from the water heater of the building!
A compact Washer/Dryer is located in the unit, in addition to the coin operated laundry room on the ground floor of the building (never underestimate the fun of meeting interesting locals there :) ). Complimentary laundry supplies are provided.
WE CARE about our guests with sensitivities, and only use fragrance free, dermatologists and pediatricians recommended laundry detergent for all bedding, towels, and bath robes. We are health and environmentally conscious and try to use "green", non-toxic cleaning products whenever possible. We stocked bathrooms with natural bath products in addition to traditional ones. If you have sensitivities that need to be taken care of, please let us know, and we'll make sure to accommodate them.
To make you feel more at home, we've supplied condo with toys, games, and puzzles for kids and adults. Families love them! The nice collection of books for all ages and tastes will keep you entertained for a while. We've even included books on local outdoor adventures and history!
The condo has one assigned covered parking space on the ground floor of the building. Additional free parking is available for extra cars. The condo is equipped with air conditioner to keep you comfortable on hot summer days and a balcony with two comfy chairs to enjoy your morning coffee, a glass of wine, or watch our beautiful sunsets. Most of the units in the buildings are occupied by LANL employees and their families, offering a safe, family friendly environment.
The location of the condo is one of the best in town. It is within a 5-10 min drive from LANL (5 min to LANL badge office), a 2-3 min drive to the Smiths grocery store, a 3 minute drive to the YMCA, a 1 min drive to the Urgent Care (great facility, but hopefully you'll never have to use it!), a 1 min drive to the hospital, a 2 minute drive (or 6 min walk) to the Aquatic center with an Olympic sized indoor swimming pool.
The closest trails to the condo are the trails in the Acid canyon behind the swimming pool and the nature center (6 minutes walking). Despite the name, which probably bears some historical significance, Acid canyon trails are local favorites, especially in summer. Be prepared to spend a few hours exploring them, and carry a bear spray with you, as locals are not the only ones enjoying trails. Wild life is abundant here in Los Alamos! Pepper/bear spray is available at the bike shop located at 106 Central Park Square and at Metzgers.
The condo should have all you need, but in case we've missed anything, please give us a call and we'll bring it! I've tried to include all things worth mentioning in the description, but if I left out anything, that is important to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch! I am always looking forward to hosting great people and making their time at our properties comfortable and enjoyable!
PLEASE NOTE - THE CONDO IS ON THE 2ND FLOOR (PLUS THE GROUND FLOOR WHERE THE PARKING IS). THERE IS NO ELEVATOR IN THE BUILDING.
