Newly Updated El Matador Condo with Library & Fireplace | Walk to the Plaza
El Matador Unit 18
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
This charming 1BR condo at El Matador is newly renovated and refurnished. It's conveniently located an 8-minute walk from downtown shops, and restaurants, and a 14-minute walk from historic Santa Fe Plaza. A library is stocked with over 100 books. Design highlights include Saltillo tile floors, skylights, and a cozy gas fireplace. Reserved carport parking provides added convenience.
Visit the Georgia O' Keeffe Museum and New Mexico History Museum, both are within a 14-minute walk from your door. Or peruse the work of Santa Fe artisans at Canyon Road in a 5-minute drive. You’re also 3 blocks from Artist's Road, which leads right to Ski Santa Fe.
LIVING AREA
Your spacious condo is located at El Matador, a gated community adorned with mature trees.
Hardwood floors line the living room, where you can browse a library rich with books on New Mexico's cuisine, art, and history. A gas fireplace adds warm ambience to the art-filled space.
A comfortable queen-size sleeper sofa, twin-size sleeper sofa chair, and leather armchair offer plenty of seating. Unwind and watch a movie on the smart TV after a day of exploring the city.
KITCHEN & DINING
Tile counters offer plenty of prep space in the inviting kitchen. A gas range makes stove-top cooking simple, and an ample supply of cookware and handy gadgets are at the ready.
Enjoy morning coffee at the two-person kitchen bar. When it’s time to eat, gather at the wooden dining table for four.
BED & BATH
The tranquil bedroom has a queen bed and a 32” TV. The roomy bathroom is outfitted with a shower
OUTDOOR AREA
Find a cafe table for two on the landing outside your door. This second-floor perch offers a peaceful view of El Matador's garden and bubbling fountain.
EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS
Additional perks include an in-unit washer/dryer and complimentary Wi-Fi (with a recent increase in internet speed).
Reserved parking is provided for one vehicle in the carport. First-come, first-serve lot parking may be available for one more car. This second-floor unit is accessed via one flight of stairs.
For stays up to 29 days, maximum allowable occupancy is two people; for stays 30+ days, maximum allowable occupancy is three people.
Permit # 156179, issued 2021
THE LOCATION
The Santa Fe Plaza (an 8-minute walk) and famous art museums are less than a mile from this delightful condo. Peruse the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, then head to the New Mexico Museum of Art, the oldest museum in the city. The Santa Fe Opera promises soul-stirring performances.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).
