Diamond quarters

The house was perfect for our group of over 65, because of our age we could have used a rail on the front Steps, and in the showers. The beds are a bit high if you have a height issue, most of us are short. The linens are nice and the towels are exceptional, we all want to purchase the same towels for ourselves. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and then some. Casa de Las Tortugas left us many complimentary gifts that were not only a surprise and but very welcomed. The traffic is quite heavy on the side street but it bothered no one in our group. Parking is also an issue at the house if you have more that two cars but there is parking on the street. The neighborhood is nice, we walked and enjoyed the older homes and the beautiful weather. Casa de Las Tortugas is tastefully decorated and full equipped. I would recommend Casa De Las Tortugas to anyone needed a home in central El Paso. Jorge was great to work with as well. Thank you Jorge for making feel so welcome, all in all we had a fabulous time, your home is lovely.

Quaint, clean and well located

Overall, we enjoyed the home and recommend it. The house is updated, well-kept, and tastefully decorated. It is comfortable, and the location is convenient. The pictures are accurate. The kitchen is nice and spacious. Every night we watched Netflix in the cozy living room, The house sits on a corner but neither street is all that busy. There are two outdoor spaces which we did not use (too cold) but quite nice. There was nothing negative about the place, but I do have some recommendations based on what we encountered- 1. Automatic porch light or a door keypad that lights up on touch. On arrival, it was dark and we couldn't make out the numbers on the keypad. 2. Add luggage racks in each room. 3. Add additional pillows and blankets in each room. 4. Equip the kitchen with more glasses, spoons, forks and bowls. :) 5. Add more towels - at least two per guest. Please note: These recommendations did not influence my review or score. Overall, the home was inviting, beautiful, clean and perfect for our needs.
