The house was the perfect place for the five of us! The location was near shops, restaurants, yet tucked into a quiet neighborhood. The rooms were nicely furnished, the beds were very comfortable, and everything was very clean. Small things like a variety of pillows, soft linens, and thoughtful supplies added to our comfort. I enjoyed sitting on the back patio, the views from the kitchen, and having space to relax between outings. The owner was responsive and kind when I checked in early without thinking about the time (it had been a long day!) I would definitely stay here again!

This is a fantastic place! The house is beyond charming. It is one of the very Best VRBO's I have rented and I have rented many! It has everything you could want supplied in it. Sam the owner was immediately responsive when we had a little problem with the gate. The location is perfect, next to Old Town, and the neighborhood very quiet. The only thing I would change is I would stay longer if possible!

If you want easy access to Old Town and to stay in a beautifully restored adobe home, this is the place. Every detail was considered in the home's upgrades, from dimmer switches to central air- while vigas still make an appearance in two of the bedrooms. Quiet neighborhood. Wonderful location. We will definitely be back!
