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.

Clean and in a great neighborhood. It's about a 1/2 mile or so walk to the beautiful Santa Fe Plaza. The hosts live on the lot but were friendly while not being intrusive.

Very nice vacation rental located a short walking distance to old Santa Fe Plaza. The property is well equipped and comfortable - ideal for a week or longer stay. The courtyard provides a nice place to relax, have a glass of wine, or a meal under typically excellent New Mexico skies. The dedicated parking provided is essential given the limited parking available in the neighborhood.In short, an excellent experience.Lastly, Brett is an outstanding 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!

Santa Fe is a "walking city" and this is a perfect location. Easy to get in and out of town, a quiet neighborhood in which to avoid the hustle and noise of town. This VRBO could not have been better appointed. Everything you need is there; an abundance of towels and linens, a beautifully equipped kitchen, easy and comfortable living space. The outside patios are perfect, whether it be for morning coffee or a glass of wine at the end of the day. Not to mention Lucy the dog! Sweet, friendly and a bonus to a great stay

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.

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.
