‘Casa al Reves’ Pueblo-Style House with Views!

Reviews

• Not a house for the winter. Well located but with many deficiencies.

  2/5

  (1) The heating system was unable to cope with temperatures in the high teens. The temperature in the main bedroom was 58 degrees most nights. The only time the house heated up to anything above 62 degrees was in the afternoon when sun streamed in.(2) The so-called living room was an awkward and uncomfortable space between the front door and the downstairs bedrooms. We were a group of 5 people in the house for a week, and no one ever sat in that room. There was no comfortable place in the house to sit and talk and read. There is a lot of outdoor space, but that was of little use when the outside temperature was 17 degrees F.(3) There were 3 1/2 bathrooms, but none were en-suite. To get to the bathroom that served the main bedroom upstairs, you had to walk dow a hall toward the kitchen, in full view of anyone in the kitchen, the dining area, or downstairs. Fine for a family, but no privacy for a group of friends. (4) There was a large dressing room down the hall from the main upstairs bedroom, but no closet in the bedroom.(5) The kitchen appears to have been designed by someone who doesn’t cook. When facing the range while cooking, there was no space on either side of the cook top to put anything such as serving plates, bowls, utensil, food, etc. There is a small convection oven, but it appeared to be too small to cook a large item, such as a turkey, big casserole, etc.On the other hand, the house was well located….very close to the center of Santa Fe but also quite private with great views. But definitely a warm weather house…not a house to be in during the winter.

  From the owner: "Hi Edward, glad you enjoyed the views and central location of our home. We wish that you had contacted us regarding the heat so that we could have addressed it before we received your review on 1/20. We have cleaned the heat units and have maintenance scheduled. So sorry that you did not like the layout of the house. It is a unique home which our photos illustrate. Hope that you will come and see us again!

• Gorgeous Views

  4/5

  We were in Santa Fe for a family gathering and enjoyed our time at Casa al Reves. The views are amazing here and we were treated to a fresh snowfall which was icing on the cake. Our family enjoyed an evening around the fire pit which was a trip highlight. The setting and layout of the home are terrific.

  We did have an issue with heat, but Jeff was very responsive and delivered 2 space heaters to take the chill off.

  The home itself is decorated somewhat sparely with an ikea vibe, so if you are looking for the full on southwest charm this may not be the house for you.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Marcia, the homeowners wanted to share the following: "Thanks for staying with us. We apologize you experienced an issue with the heat. As soon as you informed us on Jan 14th, we immediately bought cabinet space heaters to ensure a comfortable experience. We then scheduled a repair person to clean and maintenance the units. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we're so glad you enjoyed your stay overall and the beautiful views!"

• Great Stay!
