We enjoyed a wonderful stay in this lovely and spacious home. The bed is very comfy and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could want or need. The location is so convenient - within walking distance to the plaza, museums and many restaurants. Linda has included so many nice touches and is so helpful in providing restaurant and sight-seeing recommendations. This is a great place to stay in Santa Fe and we will definitely be back. Thank you again Linda for a wonderful vacation.

We had the pleasure of a 10 day stay in El Primero
over the Christmas/New Year holidays. Linda is a
most gracious and helpful hostess and has
provided many amenities that make stays here so
pleasant -- super comfy bed and bedding, well
equiped kitchen, fast internet, comfortable
furniture, interesting reading material (loved the
Hillerman), and information about the area
including a very helpful walking map. The
bathroom is cozy and utilizes a water saving device
in the shower, but there is ample storage for
"bathroom stuff" and the water pressure and
temperature are spot on! The unit is close to
shopping and good restaurants. We were there
during a particularly cold and snowy time: the
casita could become a bit chilly, but a combination
of kiva fireplace, space heaters and warm socks
made things just right. We use vacation rentals on
a regular basis and this was one of the best
equiped and a great value. Hope to return (in
warmer weather when the walking will be a bit
easier!). We recommend El Primero highly.

We spent out honeymoon at Linda's beautiful house Oct 18-25 and we could not have asked for a lovelier spot. The house is roomy but still comfy & cozy and convenient to town & shopping on foot or by car. Linda was the best hostess and was always available whenever we had a question. We would highly recommend staying here when you are in Santa Fe (we only hope it will be available for our next trip!!) Taylor & Marian

Very comfortable accommodations and a fabulous location, either for walking to town or driving to great day-trip locations like Taos, Los Alamos, Bandelier Monument, Valles Caldera, even Albuquerque. Lots to do and see, and Linda was the perfect hostess.

La Casa Santa Fe is centrally located, a pleasant and scenic walk to most sites, away from crowds, yet allowed opportunity to meet local neighbors. The Casa is histoirc but very well equipped with all the most modern convenicnes. Linda our host was very accomodating.

Thanks Karole and Ken

We came to Santa Fe for six days for my daughter's wedding in a nearby town. The El Primero was like a home away from home. The internet is the fastest I've ever used! Kitchen is well stocked. Linda was so helpful with maps and suggestions on things to see. This is a charming, historic area and easy to walk about. We really enjoyed our stay here.

My husband and I were married outside of Santa Fe in June, and we stayed at El Primero for two weeks on either side of our wedding. It was a lovely experience... from the beautiful flowers and bottle of wine that Linda had waiting for us when we arrived, to the extremely comfortable bed, the great kitchen, and the high ceilings that give the place such a spacious feel. The neighborhood is charming too, and quite convenient to the plaza. It was the perfect place for us to have a private space, away from all the (wonderful) madness of the wedding, and we'll absolutely stay at the Sena home again, on future trips to Santa Fe!

My stay in El Primero from May 1-6 was perfect! El Primero in the historic Jose D Sena House was very clean, comfortable, it had luxurious linens and is totally Santa Fe with the old adobe walls and beautiful kiva fireplace. After walking everyday, I would say "I'm going home"...that is what it felt like. I love walking and was able to walk from that location to the Plaza, the DeVargas Mall, Canyon Road, Trader Joe's, basically anywhere I wished to go. It was great. And, Linda created the best map for me...marking all the places that I wanted to see on my walking tours. She was so nice, very helpful and a perfect hostess. You could tell she really cares about her guests. I really enjoyed my trip, enjoyed Linda, and I would definitely rent here again.

Just got back from 3 nights in Santa Fe and stayed at this wonderful home. Great location, we even walked to Maria's for dinner from here (1.4 miles). The house is so quiet we could have slept all day but with so much to do in SF we were up with the birds. The bed has the most amazing sheets, so soft my husband wants some! Linda is the perfect hostess and the house has everything you could possibly want. We would definitely and hightly recommend staying at this location on your next trip to SF!!!!

El Primero fit the bill for what we wanted in a casita
in Santa Fe for the week we stayed there. First, it
was priced well for the market and afforded us
more privacy and Santa Fe style than a hotel room
priced three times as much in one of the larger
hotels off of the square. Second, it was large
enough to be comfortable with a wonderful
fireplace and all the modern conveniences for
communications, entertainment, and cooking.
Third, it is located in a wonderful spot - close
enough to walk to the square and environs but far
enough away to not experience the noise and
frenetic activity of Santa Fe on high speed when the
tourists (like us) descend on the place. Finally,
Linda provides the hospitality and information you
need to get your bearings. All in all, I would
definitely recommend this place to anyone.
