4th of July trip

Beautiful little home that was conveniently located within walking distance to the plaza and railyard. We loved the back patio and spent our mornings having coffee out there. We would definitely recommend the house.

Cute tho a bit run down

We liked this charming, tho somewhat shabby, property. It totally met our needs for a 4 day stay. It has a small back yard which we enjoyed, tho not much sitting area. It's in a lovely neighborhood and walking distance to main SF attractions, and parking right in front. Despite the shabbiness (window shades, throw pillows, toilet not well attached to wall) we would return.

Opera week in SantaFe

Very clean. Paintings, decor excellent. Felt comfortable from walk in. Bought larger LED bulbs for living room lights. We like to read. With LED’s, electricity usage change is minimal. Reading pleasure maximized. Kitchen was complete. Bath excellent. Great towels.No. AC. floor fan provided was mostly useless. We enjoyed our stay.

Great spot, needs maintenance.

At the intersection of one way road, the location was quiet and very little traffic. The backyard space is nice and a good spot for hanging out especially for our dog. Kiva fireplace makes it quintessential New Mexico. The furnishing are old, 30 year old dishwasher had note to be careful, waiting on parts to fix. King size bed is old and on springs, so every movement makes a noise. Two coffee machines with only one mini carafe. We had a couple wild visitors, not an extreme nuisance but needed to watch out at night in the backyard. We enjoyed our time, but it could have been more comfortable.

The casita was charming with a lovely enclosed outdoor garden. It’s close to the downtown sites and within walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants. We enjoyed morning walks through the neighborhood with our dog. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect couple get away in Santa Fe

This property is located in a true neighborhood and has all the traditional Santa Fe bells and whistles from the ancient front door, to the Kivu fireplace and the lovely private courtyard where flowers still bloomed in November.

This is a hidden gem in a quiet neighborhood of similar small Adobe houses. Authentic older, Adobe house inside and out with a beautiful, private walled courtyard with water fountain and wood burning stove. Furnishings and artwork were very nice. Close to downtown and any needed supplies. The house has gas heat & water-very toasty and a functional wood burning fireplace.Starter supplies were the essentials. Plenty of towels that are good quality. Very comfortable for two people and good for a long stay. We will be back!Note-no A/C; however all windows open with screens and for us and our stay we did not need it.

Cozy and charming

Property had lots of character and charm with good location. The yard was very nice but a little overgrown. Past reviewers were correct that it wasn't all that clean, and also hot without many cooling options. Truly honestly enjoyed the stay. Would be a 5/5 with a fumigation, A/C or fans to cool the place, and some TLC on the yard.

Decent location but everything was skewed by the weather which was unseasonbly cold. . .it snowed! We wanted a patio space but used it very little. House was well supplied with toiletries, essentials like paper products, cooking ingredients which was a plessant surprise. Walkable to downtown. . .in better weather.

Good location-nice property. Kitchen facet needs repair and the oven door doesn’t close all the way. Since we stayed over on a Tuesday night we had to take out the trash can to the road but no instructions as to we’re it needed to go. So the trash was not picked up. The info on the refrigerator said we would be charged for excess trash-don’t stay here on Tuesday

Great location

The casita was great and a good price but has some deferred maintenance. The dishwasher and stove doors were wonky. Linens worn. But otherwise a great place. It had snowed and was too icy to take the route in info so it would be nice to be warned because there was a second easy to find direct way to get there. 7 days later road still not safe to use due to low temps. Not able to talk to someone during the day most times I called and response was often slow. Still recommend though!
