We had an awesome time staying in this condo. The location is ideal for visiting Santa Fe, far enough away to enjoy wonderful peace and quiet and privacy and only 15 minutes away from most Sante Fe city attractions. As we traveled through the crowded areas of the city and looked at some of the properties we were considering, we were so pleased we chose this one. There was plenty of space for all of us and two patios, so everyone room to spread out. It was exceptionally clean and included many items we didn't expect like soap, shampoo, laundry and dish detergent and all the paper products. There was coffee in the freezer and sugar and cream in the pantry. It was even equipped with flash lights and a first aid kit. The beds were very comfortable with nice, fresh linens. The property manager was so kind to let us print our out return trip boarding passes in her office, that saved us so much time and worry. The pool was wonderful, so clean and we usually had it all to ourselves. We enjoyed hiking up in the hills to watch the sunsets and star gazing on the patio at night. I highly recommend this property. It is so much better than a hotel, an exceptional value considering the size and the location. The homeowners are wonderful to work with, very helpful with information on enjoying Sante Fe. We loved all the wonderful art in the condo and seemed to find something new to admire everyday. Some of our activities included the Sante Fe cooking school restaurant walking tour which we enjoyed very much. We drove to Abiquiu to tour Georgia O'Keefe's home and studio and had a picnic lunch at Lake Abiquiu. We went to a performance of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale in St. Francis Cathedral, make sure to see one of their shows if you can, it was wonderful, especially in the beautiful cathedral. We saw the Juan Siddi Flamenco show which had great dancers, but awful singers. And of course we shopped and shopped. We also went to the Tesuque Flea market and found lots of beads. We ate twice at El Nido in Tesuque - great mojitos and raspberry pie! We also enjoyed tapas at El Meson on Washington Ave. We got most of our provisions at Whole Foods and Trader Joes - Trader Joes had better prices, but whole food had great prepared meals. We had a wonderful time, but wished we could have stayed longer as there were so many other things we would have liked to do. We'll be back. Don't miss this property!
