About this property

CASA FLORA Quiet & Cozy Downtown Plaza Apartment

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 may be left at departure.
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.

Great little place

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.

Casa Flora was in the perfect location in Taos. We were able to walk to the Plaza, as well as several other nearby locations. We loved the feel of the place, from the garden entry to the eclectic decor inside. It was a good fit for our anniversary get away.Our only complaint was that it was an extremely hot weekend in Taos, and when we got into the room, the thermometer on the swamp cooler said it was 87 degrees in the room. Unfortunately, the swamp cooler was broken. I messaged the owner, and she only offered to deliver another fan the next day, which wasn't a helpful option. The room didn't really cool down until the early morning hours of the next day. She never followed up with us to see if the heat issue was resolved. I also emailed the owner before our trip to clarify whether or not there is onsite parking, and I did not get a response. There is no onsite parking, but we were able to use a public parking lot across the street.

It's lovely, cozy, and local to downtown

It was just what one would want for a short stay. Nicely decorated, well heated, working stove and referigerator, hot water, adequate light and outlets. A lovely little place to stay. the only drawback is that the bedroom was separated from the main area by a blanket. Since my son and I keep different hours this made it a little difficult to get to sleep but ear plugs did the trick.

We just spent one night in our way though Taos with our 2 kids (10 and 12). Location was perfect for shopping and eating downtown and to get the local flavor. Accommodations were clean, homey, and Melissa was easily available for questions.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa /Taos mgr.

Host profile image
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.
