My husband & I met friends from Australia in Santa Fe, and we all enjoyed our 8-day stay in this cute 2 bedroom 2 bath. This was a great jumping off point for lots of day trips around Santa Fe—Bandelier, Pecos, Taos—as well as a few days taking in the sites in Santa Fe. The house was just the right size to meet our needs. The 2 bedrooms/bathrooms were far enough away from each other to offer privacy, while the kitchen was big enough for us to make lunches to go, mostly low-key breakfasts, and two pasta dinners. We enjoyed the small patio for outside dining, and the living room with a comfy couch & two chairs for planning trips & catching up. The house is located adjacent to a main traffic artery (St. Francis Dr.), so there is considerable traffic-related noise when outside or doors are open. I am used to a quiet country life so the noises of the city were new to me. We increased the fan on the AC in the bedrooms, and that helped muffle the noise for a better sleeping environment. Regarding the proximity to downtown, it is certainly walkable (about 15 min to plaza, and you can access a tree-lined river path about 1/2 block away) but we chose to drive the 2 or 3 blocks & park since we were doing so much walking around town. All in all, this was a sweet little spot and a very good value for the price.
