Charming Casita Studio Closeby Santa Fe Plaza

Reviews

• Perfect getaway!

  5/5

  This place was a perfect little getaway place for a few days a way in Santa Fe. Beautifully decorated and cozy!

• Bright and cheerful with everything I needed

  5/5

  I especially enjoyed staying in a real neighborhood; seeing Santa Fe with the locals was a plus. It was quiet and yet close to the many museums and restaurants I visited

• Cozy, friendly, arty, private retreat!

  5/5

  This was the perfect home base while Spouse and I attended the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market (IFAM). Recommended, and we’d stay here again. The very friendly owners did a great job of making this tiny 1-bedroom duplex feel more spacious and airy including skylights in the bedroom, track/cable lighting, and a light-colored wood ceiling. Great art, much of it by the landlord, and cool finishing touches like the ruffled trim painted around the kitchen doorway and Talavera tile in the kitchen and bath. Off-street parking and a secure courtyard entrance. Tiny windows overlook the owners’ lovely garden—they live in the front house. We only saw the other tenant twice during our stay, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. PROs: Private, with off-street parking and a lockable entry gate in a quiet neighborhood. Thoughtfully appointed minimalist furnishings with a table, dining chairs, and luggage stand the only furniture besides the bed and nightstands—a very comfortable firm-but-soft queen mattress. The window air conditioner has a timer feature so it could turn itself off once the Santa Fe nights cool down and a remote control, if it works. Great, friendly, and attentive landlords in the front house. The mini-fridge not shown in the photos is larger than the very tiny variety—the freezer was big enough to hold a quart of ice cream. We could have cooked on the tiny gas stove if we’d wanted to. Small drip coffeemaker, also not in photos.CONs: The window air conditioner unit emitted loud rumbling and was oddly quietest at its highest fan setting. The A/C remote control never worked even after replacing the battery. But the owners had a repair man coming the day we left so that may be fixed. Skylights may disturb sleeping in if you like it dark, although it didn’t bother us. The tiny kitchen is literally barely large enough for one short person—if you’re over six feet, duck your head. The closet is a little hard to get into without moving the nightstand. No live TV—or we couldn’t figure out how to reach it—but lots of cable channels.

  We had a really lovely stay in this cute and colorful little house. Everything is very curated, we loved the paintings and decor. The place was clean and tidy. The hosts were welcoming and reliable in communications. We'll be back!

  Great hosts, very clean little Casita Studio, nice quiet street that deadness into a nice walking trail. Hot water, comfy bed, and everything you need for a nice quiet stay.
