Darling little apartment in great location!

We had an awesome girls trip celebrating my daughter’s birthday and this super cute little apartment. The location was great just down the steps and you are right in the middle of all the action! Please note you are in the street so there will be a little traffic noice and church bells ringing. This did not bother us at all. We had everything we needed, apartment was adequately equipped. Only negative is the sleeper sofa mattress really does need to be replaced, the end sloped down pretty bad. All in all it was an awesome stay!

Great accommodations within walking distance to everything downtown!

Loved the accommodations, very restful place. Easy walking distance to all of downtown Santa Fe. Location is right on a busy street, but during the daytime street noise is very acceptable. At night, street noise is very undesireable with cars & motorcycles treating a very quaint, narrow street as if it was a drag strip. So unfortunate - GREAT accommodations, not so sure we would return.
