CASITA PEQUENA-Efficiency Apartment

This downtown efficiency apartment is across the street from the Taos Plaza. It is on the "Garden Street" of Taos on a little one block street with shops, restaurants and four of my Vacation Rental apartments.
Free parking in lot across the street. Meters but town is not ticketing.
The kitchen area includes a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker and toaster as well as dishes and glassware for two. Be sure and check out "Melissa's Picks" posted on frig for shops, museums and restaurants downtown.
The Reading Nook has a comfortable chair, reading light and a variety of Vacation Books.
The dining area is an antique table with two chairs complete with placemats and cloth napkins.
Opaque blinds offer privacy yet allow our wonderful Taos light to come in.
The main room has a ceiling fan, operable transom window and a dutch door for summer use. In winter months there is a gas log stove and even a heated electric mattress pad. Please operate gas log stove ONLY with wall thermostat. NEVER turn off main gas line.
The hallway has hooks for hanging clothing and there is a dresser at the foot of the bed.
I love the bathroom! It has a new tiled shower with my concept of random tiles and is bright and colorful. I provide Robes, thick towels, soaps, shampoo, hair dryer and other miscellaneous bath supplies. There is a ceiling fan for ventilation and a small space heater.
This apartment as well as all the buildings on the street was built in the 1880's so thick walls keep it cool in summer and easy to keep warm in the winter. 14" thick walls will do that. Also it ensures quiet even though right downtown. The beauty of adobe construction.
I operated this space as a small retail shop until I realized my true passion was Vacation Rentals. I love to remodel, furnish and decorate for my many guests.
I now have 11 Taos Rentals. Everything from this efficiency to one bedroom apartments and houses as well as two and three bedroom homes. All are listed on VRBO.
When I closed my shop I still had an inventory of merchandise. Everything in this apartment on walls and shelves is for sale to guests (almost everything...) Truly "Passive Retail" and you can go home with a Taos memory.
As with all of my rentals I am dog friendly and provide dog sheets. I charge $10 per night per dog which you may leave upon departure.
I provide wireless high speed internet with the user name and password posted by the dining table.
All of this at a great location, reasonable rates, amenities galore and shopping in your own private space! Come visit and enjoy Casita Pequena for a short stay.

Casita Pequena

Charming accommodation in the the heart of Taos. One block off the Plaza, in a generally commercial area, this small street-level apartment is in an old adobe structure with original features (vigas, kiva fireplace, etc.). The space is long and narrow, but very well appointed. Comfortable bed, wonderful shower, table for meals. It is a bit dark because shades are not permitted to be drawn. Parking is available and convenient. Some noise at night from vehicles cruising and street racing. Everything you need -- restaurants/bars, museums, shops, stores -- is within walking distance. Would definitely stay again!

Great small rental close to everything

We loved the casita. It has a ton of character. It’s clean with a comfortable bed. One block from the main square. Next door to a cocktail bar and a restaurant. Only 30 min to the ski resort.

Liked: Cleanliness
We liked the location and was within walking distance to shopping and dining. It was older adobe structure which we liked. What we didn’t like was marginally safe electric outlets and main door locks. The outlets were poorly maintained and hung loose. The door locks need to be updated and strengthened. Another item that needs to be addressed is that the property was advertised as an efficiency there was no sink in the “kitchen” area. We had to haul water from the bathroom to wash dishes and waste water carried back to the bathroom. With a few noted exceptions our stay was nice and comfortable.

Disliked: Amenities
Location good (near plaza). Quirky charm, a bit overdone (to lure buyers). Dos & don’ts notes scattered around (e.g. “don’t adjust blinds” - the sun shines directly into room 8:00am. 1. “Free parking” misleading, notified the day before that city of Taos now honors parking meters; the church across the street offered $5 parking. Upon arrival, met another woman (Joy) who claimed to know nothing about town rules. I showed town map of pay/free parking areas. I think she just wanted to play the “not my problem, not responsible” game. I called Melissa and explained deciding to park in free library/town hall lot. She said she didn’t mention it since few blocks away. 2. Cleanliness subjective. My wife super sensitive to dust; called Melissa to request bedding change & tidying. She agreed. Upon returning, although some improvement, my wife not entirely happy did some mopping herself. The housekeeper came with fresh pillow cases and was confronted by my wife expressing her concerns. The housekeeper said if we didn’t like it we could go somewhere else. 3. Hospitality lacking. Unlike other 2 VRBO accommodations, check-out time is 10:00am. This slipped us up, still packing when the cleaning girl walked in on me undressed. She apologized and left, soon followed by a loud knock on the door by Joy. She irritatedly advised that “check-out time is 10:00. I need you out of here.” 4. Wifi minor configuration issue, email iMap server port blocked. Turn off Wifi to receive email.

Really great location near the square. Parking right across the street in the lot is free.The space is roomy but no cooktop so everything needs to be microwaveable or cooked in a toaster oven.It takes a while for the window unit to cool down in the summer but there are ceiling fans so that helps. There are a lot of little beetle like bugs in the windows- they seem to be thriving. Other than that, the space is comfortable and a great spot.

My second stay here. Just as charming and fun as the first time. A 2 minute stroll to a great coffee shop, right off the plaza, close to everything! Melissa has all sorts of cool local arty finds on the walls that are for sale at very reasonable prices, I found treasures right there in my room both times. She’s also responsive, helpful a great host. I have relatives in Taos, but I’ll stay here every chance I get, for the privacy. It’s a little adobe oasis. Room was clean, comfy bed, and helpful little handwritten notes here and there. The ONLY downside is a little street noise from the plaza occasionally at night. Local guys still cruise the plaza and rev their big boy engines. I used to be in one of those muscle cars, so I consider it nostalgic. If you want a lovely local experience in a cozy old adobe, this is your spot!

Loved it!

Unique efficiency in an ideal location. My husband and I loved it here. We had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding very nice. Cute decor everywhere you looked. We used the fan on the AC to block out outside noise. The location is fantastic as everything was within close proximity. Social House with live music right next door with great drink options and many restaurants a few min away. Loved Taos!!

This is a very comfortable little apartment in the middle of everything. It’s almost hidden it’s so in the middle. Easy to get to restaurants and historic downtown. Melissa responded to my questions immediately. We had an amazing meal at Stella’s and yummy breakfast at the Bread Club Taos. I recommend both if you are gluten free.

Downtown Taos

This casita is very “Taos”…it’s in an old building so things are rustic. Unfortunately, the Main Street through downtown Taos is undergoing major construction and the detour goes right in front of this property so there’s a lot of traffic noise. Hopefully this construction will be done soon!

Cute little rental

The place was darling. The air conditioner kept it very comfortable. The only issue with it had nothing to do with the place or the owner. The main street is torn up and the detour goes right past the place. During the week there wasn’t very much traffic noise, but Friday and Saturday nights was a little noisy. I’m sure when construction is over it will be nice and peaceful all week long.
