perfect weekend getaway

WOW!!! This property was adorable. Everything was clean and adequately stocked with every day needs. The property owner was so easy to communicate with. The location could not have been better. We were walking distance to all the excitement of the downtown area. The bookstore right across the street also has a great selection of books and though we did not eat dinner there, the italian restaurant next door was a convenient spot to grab dessert for a meal we cooked in.

We had a great time in Santa Fe! It was so quiet and peaceful at Casa Martillo. It was a great location for exploring the city and easy to head out to hike outside of the city as well. Casa Martillo was very clean and had plenty of room for our small family. We can’t wait to come back!
Large king sized bedroom!
Second bedroom was perfect for our 5 year old
We enjoyed relaxing in the living space after a long day of hiking.

Perfect stay!

The apartment was as pictured in the listing. It is tucked away off the street and parking was a short walk away. The location was near lots of restaurants and coffee shops and an easy walk to the plaza. Super clean and the hosts were easy to get in touch with. We had a nice stay!

This is a beautiful condo in a great location! You can't go wrong with booking your stay here. The property owner, Charlotte, goes above and beyond to make guests at home. We can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking here again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay! With 2 adults, a 6yr old and a 9mo old it was perfect. We had all we needed including comfortable beds. It was easy to walk down the stairs and head downtown to shop and eat. The space was cute and well thought out. Thanks for having us!

We loved our stay! We measure all VRBOs by two things. The comfort of the bed and how stocked the kitchen is. This place hit both perfectly! The kitchen had everything plus spices and oils. The king bed was very comfortable. We will be back when we come back to Santa Fe.

Casa Martillo was perfect!

We loved staying in this vacation rental. It was an easy walk to points in historic Santa Fe, and an easy drive to museum hill and restaurants in the area. The loft was clean and well appointed. The AC worked great and we loved the air purifier too. We were comfortable and had plenty of room with 3 adults and a teenager. Charlotte was very attentive to our needs and even brought us a few welcome gifts to help us settle in! The offsite parking was a truly minor inconvenience, and was a very short walk. All in all, we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location!

This rental was really nice but the online pictures just don't do it justice. That's the only reason accuracy of listing is 4 instead of 5. the location is perfect, smack dab in the middle of so much to see and do in historic downtown and still just a short drive from trails and fantastic scenery. The unit was immaculate and the welcome package gave us a smile after a long day of airport delays. Charlotte did a wonderful job coaching us on location, nearby events/sight seeing, check in and check out. A+ experience hands down. We would certainly stay here again!

Cute and in a quite place

Loved everything about this place including the host. Only thing I wish were better was I want the parking on site. It’s about a 2 minute walk from parking. It’s not bad but feels like an eternity in the dark alone or after a day of adventure.

Knowing nothing about Santa Fe I chose this property based on price and what seemed a good location. I couldn’t have made a better choice if I knew what I was doing! We could easily walk to the plaza and the many nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Our host Charlotte made sure we could get in touch with her, but we didn’t need to. Her place was very clean and comfortable. We greatly enjoyed our stay!

Home Away From Home in Santa Fe Railyard District

Casa Martillo, a warm and well-lighted home away from home, is located in the Railyard District. A gift bag of goodies and a surprise in the refrigerator welcome you. The 2-bedroom home is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The furnishings and artwork offer an aesthetically pleasing place to relax after a day of adventure and discovery. The kitchen offers enough tools, pots and pans, and 2 coffee-making options. The shower-only bathroom provides enough towels, toiletries such as body soap, shampoo, and conditioner, and a hair dryer. The Railyard is minutes away by foot, and offers the Farmer's Market and Artist's Market on Saturdays, the Violet Crown movie theater complex, REI and other shops, and food places such as Second Street Brewery, Boxcar, and Tomasita's. Around the neighborhood, there are the bakeries, Sage Bakehouse and Modern General, and the shops, Peruvian Connection, Smash Bangles, and On Your Feet, as well as a variety of restaurants such as Paloma, Cowgirl BBQ, and Andiamo. For those who could not go by the Farmer's Market, and want to buy groceries to cook meals, Whole Foods is close by. The Santa Fe Plaza and its surrounding shops, museums, restaurants, and historical sites, is within an easy walking distance. After a day of walking exploration, Hotel Santa Fe, minutes from Casa Martillo, has spa services to help ease achy muscles and feet. Charlotte Fox, the owner-manager of Casa Martillo, is caring and responsive. Her communication and instructions are straight forward and clear. The house rules are minimal and reasonable. If Casa Martillo's 2-bedroom accommodation does not suit your needs, consider Charlotte's other rental units. We would definitely work with Charlotte again if our future travel plans bring us to Santa Fe.
