We greatly enjoyed our 40-plus day stay at the Pinyon house. The location is optimal with dining and shopping venues on El Paseo just four blocks away. The house itself is quite impressive, especially the enclosed back yard with its lovely spa and swimming pool. It is spaciously designed for entertaining, easily accommodating 14 party guests one evening. Despite its large footprint, the house only has three bedrooms, which in our case necessitated overflow bedding into one of the several lounge areas on several nights. There is a fourth bedroom in a separate casita, but the owners use that as their private office. Marta and her husband were gracious hosts and did everything in their power to make our stay enjoyable. We had a few mechanical problems during the first two weeks which were resolved as fast as they could be, considering we were there over the year-end holidays. It took us a couple of weeks before we mastered the spa control system the owners had recently installed, but after some reprogramming by the pool guy we figured it out. However, the heater needed four hours to heat up the spa and we never were able to heat the pool to a usable temperature. But of course we were there in January. If we could change one thing about the house we would request new beds, especially upgrading the guest rooms from queens to kings.
