About this apartment rental
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.

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!

Loved being able to stay in the pet friendly Casita so close to the plaza.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
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.
