Thank you for the review! We're sorry for any confusion regarding the heater. Future guests can call Two Casitas' office to get information on how to operate anything in the home. We hope to see you in Santa Fe again some time soon.
Great accommodations within walking distance to everything downtown!
Loved the accommodations, very restful place. Easy walking distance to all of downtown Santa Fe. Location is right on a busy street, but during the daytime street noise is very acceptable. At night, street noise is very undesireable with cars & motorcycles treating a very quaint, narrow street as if it was a drag strip. So unfortunate - GREAT accommodations, not so sure we would return.

Steve, thank you for your review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our home and appreciated the daytime convenience and tranquility of the location. Although the area is typically very quiet with minimal street noise, we’re truly sorry that the nighttime disturbances impacted your stay. Your feedback means a lot, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future!
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found everything well-maintained and managed. Looking forward to hosting you again!
We spent 3 days at the lovely little apt in the heart of SF, a 1 min walk from the square and it was lovely. No disappointments whatsoever! Great location!!!

The property was exactly as pictured and very conveniently located. The only constructive feedback would be to enhance the interior lighting, particularly in the kitchen.

You couldn’t be more downtown. The location is perfect for all activities. The parking arrangement is amazing and it was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. Great kitchen to prepare meals and awesome living room to relax in. Very good communication and easy to manage.

Well appointed apartment in the center of Santa Fe within walking distance of all the attractions. 1/2 block off Santa Fe Plaza. Very comfortable, great customer service. The only downside is a bit of evening and nighttime noise from old cars cruising downtown.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 June 2023
Gary, thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house and that you were comfortable during your stay. This house does have the tremendous upside of being on the plaza. You walk out the door and onto the plaza, but you're right that the natural downside is a little bit of street noise, typically it's died all the way down by 10pm! We'd love to see you again next time you're in Santa Fe!
