Enchanted Casita with Private Outdoor Hot Tub and Patio, Near Santa Fe Plaza, Sleeps 4 with free parking

Central, not secluded. (What we wanted, and in no way a surprise.) Look on Google street view if you don't know the lay of the land and want a sense of the surroundings. Lots and lots of stuff right here ready to hand without having to drive. Outdoor hot tub is big, clean and has powerful jets.

First, an admittedly minor grievance. Maybe really minor: Host specifically requested communication before using hot tub (promising detailed instructions when asked), but then seemed oblivious to my message asking for same. No matter, as the hot tub was self-explanatory to use, and quite nice, besides. Still, it seems like it might be better for the host NOT to invite such a dialogue about the property's amenities if they aren't going to follow through on it. Whatever, oversights happen--perhaps I am being unkind. Having gotten my Karen-ing mostly off my chest, this is a very pleasant and well-appointed hideway right in the middle of the action. Centrally located as can be, surprisingly quiet inside for being right on the main drag. No fishbowl effect, though not a great deal of natural light either. The cozy back patio might as well be in another, much more private neighborhood altogether. The skylit-bedroom is unexpectedly big and the bed comfy. Nothing was overlooked, the stacked washer & dryer--right between kitchen and bath--a huge plus. Overall, the apt was quite clean, snug and secure. There is a low-key-GREAT family restaurant, Santa Fe Bees, about 20 paces away across N Guadaloupe. And I mean excellent, real-deal Mexican-American food, inexpensive, ordered at the counter, not at all fancy. And even more nice places abound. For example, two minutes away there's the more snazzy Cafe Catron for breakfast, with sit-down service on the tucked-away patio. Local folks recc'd even more highly a bakery/breakfast joint just up Guadaloupe, Dolina's, said to be effing fantastic, not open Tues tho. Next time maybe. Georgia O museum is a couple blocks from here and the Plaza district not much further. A sneaky--good short-term rental and a value for Santa Fe. The hosts seemed sincerely helpful. Recommended.

Everything!

That I couldn’t move in and stay forever!

Nice size bedroom and bathroom; kitchen appliances; washer and dryer

Did not sleep on sofa, but it was awful to sit on - it needs to be replaced

The place was very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated.
