Rail Yard Retreat

Had to make extra stop at management office to pick up key and direction to the property (lock box not at the house). Once we opened the lockbox our key package was Not there, even though the day before I specifically spoke with the rental agent and signed pages of contracts. You cannot communicate with them via ABNB app. Finally a maintenance guy showed up and took him a long time to figure out how to prepare our “welcome” package. The additional 50 minutes of wait time caused us to lose our dinner reservation. The check-out instructions asked us to take trash out and load dishes in dish-washer, only that there was No dishwasher in the place. The bathroom is nested between the two bedrooms, but one of the bathroom doors cannot be locked. Also, no bedsheets and not enough blankets for a third person to sleep on the futon. So, after a cold night we bought a blanket for comfort.

We enjoyed our stay! The house was within walking distance to restaurants and a farmers market.

Awesome location to walk to farmers market and railyard. Nice nice space w ample yard

Came to Santa Fe with my family for a last minute get away. This place was a great deal, with room for all (and the dogs), and a great location for our adventures.

The location was outstanding...we could walk to anywhere in the downtown area in less than 20 minutes. The yard was huge and fenced (if you have big dogs, be aware that part of the fencing is low enough that motivated tall dogs can jump over it. There are lots of dogs in the neighborhood so yours might get excited). The neighborhood felt safe. I thought that style of the house was cool, older, unique, fun. Communication with Carlo was poor. I'd emailed twice before the stay and received no reply. I've not had that happen in the dozens of rental experiences through these companies that I've had. The check-in process was annoying - having to go to another location (only a mile away but just an added thing to do) to get the keys and drop them off was outside the norm of these types of rentals for us. We were tired and just wanted to get "home". The home had roaches, which sucked. We put out traps and never saw them again but it was an unpleasant way to start the trip. There were basic upkeep things that were neglected, like the doorknob to the office (the office was cool!) was falling off, the shower had had some sort of foil tape wrapped around it, we couldn't get the tv/remotes to work and there were no instructions - all a bit of a bummer. It's such a cool house and location though that I'd still recommend. The guy at the rental agency was very nice. The upkeep issues are easy things to fix and could be fixed before your stay. It's worth the location.
