Casa Flora is a complete little two room apartment just off Taos Plaza and close to everything Taos offers. Enter through a brick courtyard lined with summer blooming flowers and outdoor seating area for an evening glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee. Casa Flora has a living room/kitchen which is comfortable and inviting. The kitchen is well equipped for at home dining and can seat four. The living room sofa is a new queen sofa bed with gel foam mattress for two additional guests or children. Additional $25 per person per night which may be left at departure. The room is heated with a gas log stove and the skylight offers wonderful Taos light. The bedroom features a queen bed with premium bedding, good reading lights, cozy robes, and charming gas log stove with a decorative tile surround. Only operate gas log stoves from wall thermostats. NEVER turn off main gas line. The bath has a tiled shower and plenty of towels and bath supplies. Leave your hair dryer at home since I provide one. Casa Flora is located in an adobe building built in the 1880's and has wooden floors, hand hewn beamed viga ceilings and many multi paned operable windows. 14' thick adobe walls assure winter warmth and summer coolness. All windows are screened with perfect privacy and security. There is a ceiling fan in the kitchen and another in the bedroom. I also a provide 2 swamp coolers in case you are staying during our (luckily short) summer heat spells. Casa Flora is furnished with antiques, original Taos art from some of our exceptional artists and my sense of whimsy throughout. As with all of my properties I am dog friendly. I provide dog sheets for bed and furniture. Please use. I charge $10 per dog per night which should be added when booking. If you choose to stay 30 days or more I offer a generous 50% discount and a pet fee of $100 per stay. If this apartment is booked for your days please look at Vrbo 422849 or Vrbo 598600. Very similar and on the same street. Vrbo 598600 is an adjoining apartment and can be rented together with Casa Flora for larger groups or families. Vrbo 422849 is just upstairs in the same building.

The house was beautiful, artfully decorated, clean, and very comfortable. Our host communicated very quickly when we needed anything. The location is great, walkable to everything, and it was pet friendly!
We had a fabulous time. Enjoyed being able to relax and bring the puppy. The location to the plaza was wonderful and enjoyed the ability to walk everywhere we wanted or needed to. Melissa was very personable and easy to get ahold of. We had everything we needed to feel at home and comfortable.
This spot is soooo cute and cozy! The thick adobe walls guarantee you a very quiet stay and the decor feels really genuine and is very fun and homey. The location is outstanding, an easy walk to Kit Carson, and an even easier walk to fun spots like The Alley Cantina!
Authentic, charming Taos/NM decor. Very comfortable for two people. Excellent location. Would have liked to know more about the history of the property. Rustic cozy courtyard.
Couldn’t be better located. Quiet. Needed another dinner plate and cup to complete setting for 4 but we made do. Friends who stayed with us thought the sleeper sofa was very comfortable. It was a little stuffy on a warm weekend but windows opened and window cooler helped. Amazingly private for being located right behind the plaza.
This unit is just a block from the main square. It was clean and cozy. It is elaborately decorated with Taos style antiques. The kitchen and bathroom have everything you need. The unit is rather dark during the day . At night, there are a lot of lamps and overhead lights but it is very dim for reading. There is a public parking lot directly across the street. It charges by the hour during the day but is free after 6pm until 10AM. There is parking close by a church that is 5 per day. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

I too love old adobes! Actually the kitchen is small in size but set up to make full meals with four burner gas stove, oven, microwave, lots of pots and pans and even a crock pot
About the host
Hosted by Melissa /Taos mgr.
I moved here from Marin County California in 2005. I wanted a simpler life in a small town and have found my niche in Taos. I now own 11 vacation rental properties in Taos. Everything from one bedroom apartments and casitas to two and three bedrooms. Most are an easy walk or on the Plaza. All are special and decorated in a very 'Melissiana' style Many of my guests comment that they are what they always thought Taos should be...
Why they chose this property
Some women collect shoes, some collect shoes. I seem to collect houses. I love to furnish, decorate, equip and manage these spaces as vacation rentals. I consider myself 'The Vacation Rental Queen of Taos' I had finished my last project--two homes right downtown on a property that had been in foreclosure for two years. Then I bought a downtown compound with four homes. The Inspection Report was 49 pages long. All of my homes have been on recent Taos Home & Garden Tours- Quite a compliment to my style... It's just so much fun!
What makes this property unique
Casa Flora is quiet and private. There is room for a couple to stretch out, enjoy, cook at home, but outside the front door is everything downtown Taos with shops, galleries, museums and a dozen restaurants within walking distance. There is even free parking right across the street. The town is not ticketing at the meters currently.
