    The only thing that needs improvement is light bulbs...many light bulbs didn't work.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent 5 nights in this wonderful property. Very comfortable for 6 adults and 1 toddler. Close to town without being right in the center of the chaos around the town square. The casita needed some cleaning when we arrived, minor but was overlooked. Management took care of it immediately.

    We've rented many houses in our years of travels, but we've never felt so comfortable and well stocked! Not only was this an immaculate and artful adobe home with charm galore, but it had every little thing that a short term visitor might need and organized and labeled...making it simple to feel at home. Lots of sleeping options, and our family of 7 was very comfortable here! Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place kept getting better the more we explored. The main house is very nicely designed, comfortable and tons of space in the kitchen and living room for leisurely cooking, meals and passing time. The casita is off the charts--tons of history, comfortable, cozy and provides a bit more quiet. The compound itself is huge with great tables for outdoor dining, a terrific hot tub, and a fire pit! We were there with three families and the kids had a great time. We are talking about another trip soon!

    What a great place for a girl's get a way! We felt at home immediately and throughly enjoyed our week with the spacious kitchen and living area for gathering to share meals and spend time together. Inside and out there were wonderful, cozy, spaces to relax and find your own space wether it's for yoga, reading, or painting. The hot tub was great for unwinding and loosening up after spending the day taking in the sites, shopping, hiking in the mountains or biking around town. We treated ourselves to a spa day at the El Monte Hotel & Resort - a true five star experience - just down the road a few minutes from the house. The proximity to town is ideal wether you want to cook in or eat out (Sid's Market for gourmet groceries and The Love Apple for bday dinner some of our favorites). It was inspiring and a great experience for our group of creative friends who hope to make staying at Alfred's house an annual trip! - Mary McGovern
