The Santa Fe Artist's Room is a seriously charming getaway for one or two people. From the walk up that takes you through a lush, shady patio to the impeccable decor in every part of the suite -- every detail of your stay is designed to relax and rejuvenate you.
Check-in was very easy and we found the unit clean and cool when we arrived. The space is cozy, well-lit, and teeming with a sense of life. Every choice of art was impeccable and we found ourselves having to pause to admire every small, thoughtful detail from the perfectly executed color scheme to the custom-cut counters and stonework.
Every convenience we needed seemed to be right at our fingertips as the host had provided a water filter, tea and coffee, an impressively powerful cooling system, access to every major streaming service, places to cook and relax, and even a washer and dryer with everything needed to do laundry. The patio space and walk-up path are incredibly well-lit at night and despite being in a strange city, we never felt uneasy coming or going at night.
The Santa Fe Artist's Den is also conveniently located in a central spot in San Diego, with a gas station and Starbucks just around the corner and supermarkets nearby. Bewilderingly, it is also somehow only 15 minutes away from nearly every attraction we wanted to visit during our stay in San Diego -- with the exception of a few coastal spots which were never more than a 25 minute drive away.
Irina is a remarkably attentive host and answered the few questions we had quickly and clearly. She checked in on us once or twice but never intruded on our stay.
The Santa Fe Artist's Den truly elevated our trip and provided a secure place for us to unwind and re-energize at the end of each day of sight-seeing. Next time I travel to San Diego I will definitely keep this place in mind when finding a place to stay.
