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.

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!!

A pleasant quick reyreat

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.

Loved the place overall. Was a little sad that it has kitchen advertised but all there was in that aspect was a tiny plug in toaster oven. Everything else was fantastic.

Amazing Efficiency

Adorable, spacious, art on the walls for sale. Host was prompt, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I was traveling for an art event and stayed a couple extra days for fun. Efficiency is within walking distance of galleries, stores, restaurants, and a food store. This place is a gem.

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!

Charming casita in the heart of Taos!

We had a wonderful stay at Casita Pequeña! The furnishings and decor are beautifully curated and give you a feel of truly being in New Mexico. Easy walking distance to the historic Taos Plaza with lots of shopping and dining opportunities. We are very happy to have stayed there and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a more authentic experience than the big bland hotels have to offer. Thanks Melissa, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

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.
