"very familiar with the Santa Fe area as he graduated with his Masters from the University of New Mexico and we spent many weekends in Santa Fe, but that was 35 years ago. We were looking for a place where our family (our two sons, wives and grandchildren could go and be away from the city a bit, have enough space to be able to get away from each other if needed and have a beautifully set up kitchen so that we could cook some of our evening meals in. From the pictures, I expected a very nice home, but was not prepared for the the way the home was set up for visitors...there were extras of everything, spices, etc. extra towels, beach towels and even shampoo, etc. in each bathroom. We so enjoyed the outdoor spaces which are numerous and all give you a different view of either the mountains or the home...my favorite was the small patio off the dining room where I enjoyed coffee in the morning. The kids loved the big front patio and spent lots of time out there playing with their toys and outdoor games. We will definitely keep this place in mind as our family grows and we need to get away especially in the summer months when the Texas summer heat is so brutal. The mornings of 60 degrees were heaven! Oh yes, the hummingbirds. We have them at our home, but they don't normally come in as frequently as they did at the house once we got the feeders set up...they were fun for everyone to watch in the mornings and the evenings."

"We just spent three nights at the ABQ Casita and it was a fine place to stay. The vintage feel to the modern kitchen was most welcome and I like that we were living in a neighborhood that we'd probably never have visited, had we not stayed in the casita. It was very centrally located and convenient to everything we did. We found a superior restaurant nearby at the Pueblo Indian Cultural Center called the The Pueblo Harvest Cafe. We did carry out from there two nights in a row - the food was that delicious and well-prepared. We also had some great BBQ at the newest location of the Whole Hog Cafe on Central Ave. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The property is cute and so welcoming and the bed is BIG - we sleep on a Queen at home - so a King always feels so luxurious. Everything is provided. There is a well-supplied kitchen and more than ample closet space in the bedroom. I would not hesitate to stay in the casita were we to find oursleves in ABQ again. They have Roku and we binge watched the Australian KATH AND KIM and Miranda Hart's show MIRANDA. So much laughter. That's what we will remember most when we think about the ABQ casita..."
