About this property

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.
The Town Parking Lot across the street after years of free parking has begun to charge an hourly parking fee. I now suggest guests use Church Parking Lot on the corner for only $5 per day. Town Lot across the street is always free after 6 and on Sunday.
The kitchen area includes a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker and toaster as well as dishes and glassware for two.
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 with two guest robes provided. There is a dresser for clothes at the foot of the bed.
I love the bathroom! It has a tiled shower with random tiles and is bright and colorful. I provide 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.
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.
As with all of my rentals I am dog friendly and provide dog sheets to cover bed. I charge a per night per dog which you may add when booking. I offer a 50% discount for bookings over 30 days.
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.

I’m going to preface this by saying we are a senior couple traveling by car with a small dog - so that really colors the success of our staying here. First of all, the location is great. You are literally 100 yards from the Taos Square. Parking is not bad, there’s a city lot immediately in front of the apartment. The apartment is exactly as advertised. It’s small but very cute and has a totally authentic Taos/Santa Fe vibe. So here’s the deal - if you are traveling lite, without much luggage/gear and you will be eating out every meal, you’ll find this place great. For us, with two big suitcases and all the dog gear it was a bit small. And, with the dog, we are usually look for take out to eat in the room. The good news with this apartment is that there are two great restaurants on the same block, just a bit cramped eating in the room and no good way to deal with dirty dishes.
