Review of Stay at Casa Elena Casita
The casita was beautifully appointed. I left suggestions that the casita needed a broom for sweeping, scissors for the utensil drawer, can liners for the kitchen garbage, and the kitchen chair needed repair because it had a broken back which made sitting precarious. The large garbage can for our use had not been emptied at the weekly day, was very full, and very stinky which made coming and going to the casita unpleasant. Fortunately there was a back way around to avoid the garbage.

Beautiful Historical Mesilla
Very clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated property. We loved the location near Mesilla. Daily walks through this historical district were a privilege. Lots of space to walk our dog as well. Check-in was easy, check-out was easy. Brought our own air fryer so we ate most of our meals at the property. Weather was glorious. Great stay. Thank you to our hostess.
