This is an adobe house in Santa Fe. It is well built, and in a good location, but is in poor condition. The photos on the listing show a pristine, white, brighty-lit interior space. The photos are misrepresentations! It is dark and dingy-looking. The living room couch is now dark gray and stained, not white. The table lamp in the photo is now balanced precariously on a narrow bookrack. It is crappy quality and in a dangerous location. All the rooms are dark. Roman shade cords are frayed and do not work.
The photos in the listing must have been taken with a wide-angle lens, because the rooms are much smaller than the photos make them appear. I wouldn't have minded, as houses are often small in Santa Fe, but the overall condition of the interior was terrible.
The unit needs a DEEP CLEANING! Walls, doors, light-switch plates are all grimey! I washed all the switch plates myself. When I complained of the grime to the owner, she insinuated I did not understand adobe construction. I am from Colorado. I know adobe. This was dirty walls and switch plates.
The towels and face-cloths ALL SMELLED SOUR, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN LAUNDERED WELL. The odor is bacteria from precious users that is still moldering in the fabrics. Gross! I laundered all of them in hot water with my own strong detergent, and they were clean to use. An incoming guest should not have to do this. The bathrobes the owner advertised which should have been white, were worn-out and gray from poor laundering. We would not have used them.
There is such a thing as Santa Fe-style, but this was dirty, used-looking furniture. A chair of cane weaving was broken. The owner had the nerve to suggest our dog chewed the chair. He didn't. The seat collapsed the first time I sat in it. Wall decor that was broken were stashed in cabinets. The useless locking mechanism on a cabinet had a sharp striker on which I cut my arm. The kitchen linens are all very worn out, except for two towels. The kitchen items were chipped and second-rate. There were some nice pots for cooking, but other kitchen items looked like they had come from the flea market.
The verbal description. of the house is also not accurate. It says, "two bathrooms." It is a second toilet and wash-basin INSIDE the first bathroom!
It does have a good tv.The beds were ok. If only it had thorough deep cleaning, and repairs!
The owner was uncooperative, and then vindictive toward me.
