Catalina's Casita

A great place, in Santa FE, with a great host! I give this two-room plus bath casita a 5. It has a very good, wall mounted AC/heat unit, and ceiling fans with lights in both rooms. The kitchen is great. It has two electric burners for its stove top. The oven is a toaster/hot-air fryer unit, and handled all of my baking needs just fine. The microwave is a larger unit, and top notch. The blender is an Oster, and did its job to make my salsa verde a winner. Lots of utensils, bowls, spices, glasses, plates, etc. The refrigerator is great, and the freezer makes fill-the-tray cubes very quickly. The shower has very good pressure, and a rainfall shower head. The toilet has a soft close seat. Extra towels are onsite. Lighting throughout the two rooms is good. The queen bed is very comfortable. Linens were clean and crisp. Adequate blankets are provided. Our host, Belén, was amazing! She brought us a banana nut bread that was great. When I told her how much we liked it, she brought us another one. She also drove us to The Plaza, and picked us up. Very cool. This unit has a locking security door. The key is on the wall. The touch code, door lock works well. A standard washer and dryer are in another onsite building, but very close. Be aware: If you are driving a large vehicle, you may have a time of getting easily in and out of this property. A large mirror helps you see if vehicles are coming down the street. As long as you're used to your vehicle you should be OK. We'd definitely stay with Belén, again.
