• Amazing place, amazing location

  5/5

  Close to downtown Santa Fe, but close enough for a day trip to Los Alamos, there are a wide range of things to see and do, and having a relaxing home base makes it all worth while. The place looked exactly like the pictures. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing a meal in, though with so many food choices near by, not sure you want to do this. Would definitely stay again!

• Fully as described.

  Convenient, clean, well appointed. Attention given to small things (especially kitchen cooking and serving items). 10 minute walk (downhill) to downtown square. 3 minute walk to city overlook views in Fort Marcy Park (closed at sundown).

• Lovely accommodation, scenic location... (but poor communication)

  4/5

  The casita was well-appointed, spacious, and clean—we were very happy with it! The location is scenic, right across from Fort Marcy park. With nicer weather, it would have been fairly convenient too (reasonable walking distance to the Plaza), but it was cold and rainy during our stay so we ended up taking a lot of Ubers.Two things got in the way of this being a perfect stay. One is minor: the lack of coffee. There was a coffee maker but no coffee stocked. When we tried to get some delivered via Uber Eats/DoorDash, there weren't enough drivers in the area (SF is much smaller in population than I realized) so we had to leave for the day's outings uncaffeinated. Again, this is a minor complaint, easily rectifiable and avoidable if you have a car.The big detracting issue was the poor communication and lack of clarity on the checkin process. We didn't receive ANY information on which unit was ours, where it was located, what the entry code was, etc. ahead of time. I had to message through the app in a panic minutes before our check-in time to get this info. Before receiving a response, we were dropped off with our luggage at the provided address. All we could see were casitas - no office or central checkin location. We set off in search of one, and had a very difficult time traversing the property; there were lots of stairs and no ramps—schlepping our rolling luggage was a pain (this has to be an ADA issue, right?) especially given the freezing temperature and light snow. When I eventually found an office building and entered, panting from exertion in high altitude, I was told that that property management company had nothing to do with our booking—they couldn't look up my reservation or any details about it. Luckily, we received a response through Vrbo a few minutes later, so we finally got the unit number and access code. The folks in the office told me where to find the unit, and it was on the FAR corner of the property at the top of a steep hill. By the time we dragged our stuff there, we were exhausted, frustrated, and out of breath. We didn't know who our host contact was (Evolve listed one name, but I received a welcome text message from someone else). When we finally got in touch with the right person to ask about late checkout (having asked previously in-app to no avail), he kindly approved a noon checkout... but then the cleaners tried to enter our unit at 10:30am anyway. Bad communication across the board (Evolve's fault, not Ted's).
