This is a wonderful location, an easy 12-minute walk to the square. It's an incredibly quiet neighborhood with a comfortable king bed, lots and lots of fluffy towels, a full kitchen if you were interested in cooking, and Brett is a perfect host.

Very clean, quiet and comfortable. Convenient for everything we wanted to do in Santa Fe. The hosts have added many nice touches to the property and made us feel welcome. It was great to have the whole driveway to park our vehicles. Safe place to park our bikes in the back also. We may come back next year!

The listing is even nicer in person. The location is about perfect, we walked to the Plaza, Canyon Road and the Railyard District during our stay. Bret is an excellent host and has wonderful restaurant recommendations. We will definitely stay again for our next visit to Santa Fe. Our cocker spaniel also gives it a 5-star review.

Perfect location near the plaza in a quiet historic neighborhood. The decor and amenities were awesome. Very comfortable king bed. We had a couple of unexpectedly cooler days in late April but the casita was cozy and the electric fire proved great ambience for reading. Communication with the hosts was easy, quick, and accurate. They proactively contacted us to provide check-in instructions which were clear and easy. We would love to stay again.

This home was exactly what we wanted for our short stay in Santa Fe. The beds were very comfortable and the casita had everything we wanted and needed. Brett (the host) was so kind and welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of. He had lots of suggestions on places to visit while we were there. We also absolutely adored their sweet dog, Lucy. Can’t wait for our next visit! You will love your stay here.
