The Unique Benefits at this HOUSE
We are in the country with 360 views and ample open space. There is plenty of room to walk in the area with several trails nearby. We are 1/2 mile down a private road which only serves 14 homes and everyone usually knows everyone else. Given we are in a quiet area the plaza is only 10 minutes away, shopping and restaurants are even closer.

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.
