It's conveniently located an 8-minute walk from downtown shops, and restaurants, and a 14-minute walk from historic Santa Fe Plaza. A library is stocked with over 100 books. Design highlights include Saltillo tile floors, skylights, and a cozy gas fireplace. Reserved carport parking provides added convenience.

Visit the Georgia O' Keeffe Museum and New Mexico History Museum, both are within a 14-minute walk from your door. Or peruse the work of Santa Fe artisans at Canyon Road in a 5-minute drive. You’re also 3 blocks from Artist's Road, which leads right to Ski Santa Fe.

LIVING AREA

Your spacious condo is located at El Matador, a gated community adorned with mature trees.

Hardwood floors line the living room, where you can browse a library rich with books on New Mexico's cuisine, art, and history. A gas fireplace adds warm ambience to the art-filled space.

A comfortable queen-size sleeper sofa, twin-size sleeper sofa chair, and leather armchair offer plenty of seating. Unwind and watch a movie on the smart TV after a day of exploring the city.

KITCHEN & DINING

Tile counters offer plenty of prep space in the inviting kitchen. A gas range makes stove-top cooking simple, and an ample supply of cookware and handy gadgets are at the ready.

Enjoy morning coffee at the two-person kitchen bar. When it’s time to eat, gather at the wooden dining table for four.

BED & BATH

The tranquil bedroom has a queen bed and a 32” TV. The roomy bathroom is outfitted with a tub/shower combination.

OUTDOOR AREA

Find a cafe table for two on the landing outside your door. This second-floor perch offers a peaceful view of El Matador's garden and bubbling fountain.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very comfortable flat. Nice quiet location with friendly neighbours. Walking distance from the historic centre of Santa Fe with museums and restaurants. Advise booking ahead for restaurants and O'Keefe museum - they were quite busy during our stay.Museum Hill (about 2 miles from the flat) is a good spot to visit: quiet plaza with 2 folk art museums and a nice cafe/restaurant (with great views and a jazz pianist!).

Wonderful property
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved everything about this property! Very clean, comfortable, and the several TurnKey folks we dealt with were top-notch. One even volunteered to come out on Thanksgiving to help with an issue -- turned out, not needed. The two minor comments I would make. One is that the streaming TV did not work well. It cut off every 20-30 seconds to load the buffer. Not a big issue for us, as we were happy to just go dark on TV for the week. Also, there is a much shorter path to the apartment than the instructions we got. All you have to do is put your. back to the car and walk forward. you will go into a passage way that leads right to the apartment, rather than the long way around described in the instructions. This was our second experience at a TurnKey property - both experiences were stellar.

solid choice close to town
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice condo in quiet complex not far from the Plaza. Positive features are a fairly large living room and comfortable bedroom. Had some problems with wireless which the management company fixed. The kitchen is quite small with very limited storage space. But overall, a very nice option.

Stunning Accommodations!
This condo is even better then the pictures. Very easy access from the assign parking place. The condo is beautifully appointed with furniture and artwork from around Santa Fe. The living room was very comfortable to sit in, watch tv or read. Natural light came in from the skylights and windows. The bedroom was large and the bed very comfortable. It had a large walk in closet, nice bathroom and laundry space. Plenty of towels and accessories. The kitchen worked for eating in, all the dishes you would want. We walked to town each day to visit museums and taste restaurants. We drove to trailheads near by for hiking in the beautiful hills. The management company provide all the information you would need. A very special rental to enjoy Santa Fe.

Fabulous Santa Fe home
This home is beautifully decorated and fully-equipped with everything you'll need for a short or long-term stay. Perfectly located, only a 15 minute walk from the plaza, in a very safe, gated community. Filled with fabulous, authentic New Mexican art and tons of books. I feel like the owners are artists or writers? I'd definitely return.
