The studio was exactly as presented and we had no disappointments. It's located just a nice distance from downtown Santa Fe taking less than 15 minutes from door to parking anywhere in the city centre. Yet at night it's far enough out that the high desert night stars can be appreciated. We were never too hot or too cool in the studio and we found that Harvey and Graciela had provided us with plenty of bedclothes, towels and kitchen was fully appointed. We enjoyed the unit and location so much that we extended our plans and stayed longer!

Owner response:We aim at providing a place as represented and enjoy meeting people from different parts of the country and world.

Great Place to stay in Santa Fe

My wife and I stayed at the " Studio " from Oct. 1-9, 2010 and we would highly recommend this wonderful little apt. to anyone. Very private, beautiful light-filled large 2-room apartment..It is very close to downtown[less then 10 min.] and away from the hustle and bustle when you want quiet.Great owners,all in all, a perfect place for a small group staying in Santa Fe.Also, they have a much larger place on property if you have more people.This review sounds like I was paid to write it, but really, we will stay there again when we go back[which will be fairly soon,since my son just moved there.] Try it,you'll like it.

New Mex--part 2 of our vacation

This 1-bedroom "casita" was just the right size/space for us. And its location is within easy driving distances to the sites & sounds of Santa Fe and the surrounding areas. We only had a couple of questions for the owners which were taken care of without any problems. Other than that, we didn't have any other contact with them; my husband and I just went about our daily activities. As for the unit itself: at first, the inner door to the main house was somewhat unnerving...it being locked from the owner's side--meaning they could, theoretically, come it at will. However, we had no problems with this; entries made by the owners were done while we were away. The decor of the casita befitted its southwestern locale. We love the adobe style and so this casita was just right! Other than a few tweaks here and there, we were pleased with our home-away-from-home!

Hi Harvey & Graciela Sorry I never got a chance to say goodbye. The last day was very busy, and I got home late after shopping for all the last minute requests from home (sorry about all the bags and packaging I left behind). I was up until 2am trying to fit everything into my bags, and after a quick 1 hour sleep I got up at 3am to drive to Albuquerque. Needless to say I arrived in Shanghai very tired, and I am only now recovering from my jetlag. I would like to thank you for making me feel so welcome. I appreciated you taking me out to dinner the first night I arrived, and to the Folk Art Festival the next day. Santa Fe is a really beautiful town and your apartment was a perfect place to stay. I would love to visit again some time with the rest of my family. If you are ever in Shanghai feel free to contact me as I would love to reciprocate the welcome. Best wishes, Katrina Mangous

Flowers on the table, a comfy bed, beautiful mountain views, fresh air, kind host. The casita has it all. And its far enough away from the plaza to be quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to it all( museums, restaurants, Canyon road) to be stimulating. We had a wonderful two weeks. Thanks-you, Steve & Kaarin Norwich

We really enjoyed the Casita. It was roomy and private. We loved the patio and its privacy. We thought we were just far enough out of town to enjoy the peace of the country side and the beautiful views. Rick and Valerie

Dear Harvey and Graciela Thank you for making our trip to Santa Fe so comfortable and memorable by allowing us to stay in your lovely studio. The studio is spacious, tastefully decorated and has everything one could need. We are especially thankful for the stuffed toys you left on the sofa bed for our daughter. Your home is lovely, tranquil and serene filled with the fragrance of junipers and the chirping of birds. The occassional bunny sightings were a real treat!! We hope you are happy and healthy in this lovely house for a long long time. Very warmly, Shahbano, Usman & Oma P.S. Wish we didn't have to leave.

Harvey,I just wanted to thank you and wish you and Graciela a happy new year. We had a nice, brief stay in the Studio. Thanks for offering an extra night. I was a little worried about driving out but it really wasn’t too bad. There was no snow left in Albuquerque when we got there. The 2,000 feet in altitude makes all the difference. It was nice to chat with your wife. Perhaps we’ll see you again on a future trip. Thanks again. - Chris Christopher N.
