CASITA PEQUENA-Efficiency Apartment

The casita was so cute and a great location when it comes to walking to anything accessible. Very close to good restaurants, coffee and even a grocery. The big drawback for us was it was on a main road, so Very loud with traffic. Lots of loud engines, abruptly revving, late into the night. It was almost impossible to sleep, except from about 2-6am. Having to shuffle cars from one lot to another because of one parking lot only being until 8am (overnight), and another from 8-night time was a frustration. No chance to sleep in once finally asleep. Another ebb was thinking it was a kitchenette, but no sink for that little space, so kind of weird to have to get water from the bathroom sink and washing a dish or two was fine, but it wouldn't work if you were there more than a day or two or just ate out for every meal. It was, however a darling place. Pet friendly and easy to check in. The locals were friendly and area was wonderful.

We enjoyed our stay at her adorable efficiency apartment! It was easy to walk to our favorite restaurant and shops.

It was a bit of a last-minute trip. Easy to book and check-in. Location and accommodations worked out great.

This is our third time to stay at one of Melissa‘s properties in the past two months. We enjoy how close it is to the plaza. Her properties are super cute!

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.

Cute place and perfect location to a lot of places. We enjoyed our stay in Taos!

This quaint abode is so cozy and comfortable!! Perfect for one person!!! It has such personality! The location is perfect! Walking distance to the Plaza and so much more. I will definitely be back to this location or one of Melissa’s other VRBOs. This is the second location I have stayed in that Melissa owns.

Loved being able to stay in the pet friendly Casita so close to the plaza.

The casita was the perfect spot to rest and explore Taos!
