This was a cute little place with everything we needed and it was a quick 10 min. walk to all things Santa Fe, The Railyard, Plaza, Capitol and many restaurants. The host was very friendly and welcoming. The neighborhood was quaint and safe.

Wonderful guests. We hope to see them again and be able to spend more time with them now that the weather is warming up.
Brett was amazing, welcoming and accommodating. His place was peaceful and just what we needed for our time in Santa Fe. It's a quaint place that we loved. Our dogs loved it too!
Perfect location near the plaza in a quiet historic neighborhood. The decor and amenities were awesome. Very comfortable king bed. We had a couple of unexpectedly cooler days in late April but the casita was cozy and the electric fire proved great ambience for reading. Communication with the hosts was easy, quick, and accurate. They proactively contacted us to provide check-in instructions which were clear and easy. We would love to stay again.
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.

Kelly was a great guest and we loved her family. She is welcome back anytime.
This property is excellent for walking around downtown Santa Fe. The king size bed and open living area and kitchen make for a comfortable stay. I also loved all the outdoor space in the shared courtyard
Everything about the accommodations and location was perfect. Gorgeous bathroom, comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
This cozy casita in Santa Fe was a perfect place to stay for the week we were in the area! My husband and I appreciated the well stocked/supplied kitchen and paper products. On cooler nights, we enjoyed the electric fireplace. The neighborhood was extremely quiet yet easily walkable to Santa Fe Plaza, the capitol, the Georgia O'Keefe museum, and many other attractions. Our host was helpful and communicated with us when needed. Yes, we would love to come back to Santa Fe and stay in this casita again! Shirley
Our host has developed a very well thought out small living space. Lighting in particular with dimmer switches. Exceptionally stocked with anything one would need to cook. It is close to Santa Fe shopping. Neighborhood feels safe and residential. Host is engaging and interested in making sure guests are doing well. I don’t know how to judge price but it certainly seemed to be competitive.
Host welcomed us and offered whatever supper we needed. Perfect location to the Roundhouse and the Plaza. The Casita is well appointed, very comfortable and do Santa Fe!
Host was wonderful, friendly. The Casita was beautiful, well appointed with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Easy walking to Plaza area. Will be back in the Spring.
The casita was immaculate and very well appointed. Bed was exceptionally comfortable. Hosts were very warm and helpful. Great base for visiting Santa Fe, Taos, and Bandolier Nat'l Monument. Highly recommended!!
Fun, celebratory and gracious hosts. The location is quiet and perfectly located wirhin walking distance to the plaza, fine dining, art galleries and all the cultural beauty and diversity that SF offers. Our stay enriched minds, bodies, and spirits.

Tony and his family were wonderful guests. The weather wasn’t great when they were here, but they made the most of Santa Fe anyway.
It will be a pleasure to have Tony back in the future.
Great stay! Brett & Kirsten were the best hosts, so nice getting to know them. The casita was perfect. We walked to the Square and Canyon Road. We will definitely stay with Brett & Kirsten again and will recommend them to friends heading to Santa Fe.
Very SF style which we were looking for. Close proximity to plaza. Easy to get around. Easy in and out with code for lock.Felt very secure. Host very accommodating. Even brought home apricots from his apricot tree.
