Casita Elena was truly a homeaway from home

5 of 5
Submitted: January 30, 2008 Stayed: January 2008
I have had the pleasure of spending a month at Casita Elena, and cannot say enough about the wonderful landlords and the clean and beautifully decorated historic casita. I came here without my car, but it proved to be no problem, as stores and the center of town is in easy walking distance. The washer and dryer made the extended stay easy, and the generous start up provisions were very helpful. I have felt so cared for and highly recommend this beauty to anyone visiting the area. If you do bring a car, there is parking provided. The kitchen had plenty of utensils etc. to cook great meals, I really enjoyed the fireplace. You will want to come back!

Exceptional, DARLING Casita, walk to downtown Santa Fe !

5 of 5
Submitted: April 14, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Thank you so much for such an exceptional experience !

I have stayed in this VRBO several times when I am in Santa Fe, NM. Having lived in Santa Fe for several years, I am aware of the various areas around town and this is an excpetional location. I personally enjoy walking into town and up to the Cathedral from the Casita, yet, at the same time is it quiet and private. PERFECT ! I have often arrived in the evening when it was dark and Linda has made sure the lights are on, inside and out, and I feel completely safe, secure and welcome !

When I stay here, I feel like I am at my "home away from home," no detail has been spared, and the place is immaculate. It truly feels like a "sanctuary" within the City of Santa Fe.

Linda is very customer oriented and always happy to help with local recommendations.

The photos of the Casitat are terrific, but, I find it even more charming an comfortable.. the beds are super comfortable and having a washer & dryer is a REAL PLUS ! Really came in handy.

As a seasoned world traveler, this is one of my favorite places to visit and stay, as it combines a convenient location with convenience and charm, I truly feel like a Princess whenever I stay here ! :)

Perfect location with the comforts of home

Submitted: November 18, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
My fiance and I stayed at Linda's charming casita last April. The location is perfect...just a few blocks from the plaza on a quiet back street. When we saw the beautiful, patina'd door and sweet casita, we were instantly happy. Linda had put a bottle of white wine in the fridge to chill, along with eggs, butter and the best bread I've had in a long time. We really appreciated the food for breakfast -- it made our day so much better, starting out with a little breakfast, which allowed us to hit the town with energy for rest of the day. We were very comfortable and would love to come back some time.
