It is a self-check-in process at Casa Alia. However, I am available if needed.
The Casa Solana neighborhood is within walking distance of downtown. It is a lovely stroll along the river on Alameda Street all the way there (about 15 minutes). There is a great park opposite the river called Alto Park. Just a few blocks away are the La Montanita Co-Op, Better Day Coffee, and Valentino's authentic Mexican restaurant. This neighborhood is quiet, safe, and inhabited by friendly local families. Santa Fe has a lot to offer, including fine dining, outdoor activities, art galleries, farmer's markets, Native American culture, and lots of local shopping. This is available online as well as a printed version in our house manual in Casa Alia.
One important note: Santa Fe has very strict DUI laws. If you drive to local restaurants or bars, make sure you have a designated driver or walk to be on the safe side (if needed).
We highly recommend renting a car. If you are flying into the ABQ airport, there are many options available. If you are flying into the Santa Fe airport, Hertz is available there. Many places in downtown are walking distance from the house, but if you would like to explore outside of Santa Fe, having a car is essential.
There is a bus stop located on Alameda Street, which is just down the street, and it is a straight shot and a short ride to downtown.
Rental bikes are also a great way to get around downtown. Mello Vello is not too far, and they have different types of bikes that fit your specific needs, whether you plan on mountain biking, just cruising around town, or wanting to do some serious road biking.
There is a train that runs from Belen to Santa Fe with stops in Albuquerque and everywhere in between. It is, unfortunately, not located close to the airport, but it is a fun way to travel up and down the state of New Mexico.
