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.

Not maintained- Epic fail
We are seasoned world travellers, familiar with all levels of stays whether measured by budget or ratings, and I have to say we were utterly disappointed by this property. While the property is super-vintage cute, with a prime location, it fell SO FAR SHORT of the minimum cleanliness and minimum quality of the beds that it was completely unstay-able. When your dishes have dust bunnies, and the bed is so badly worn that even one person slumps into the middle like a hammock, it doesn't really qualify as "accommodations". If it wasn't for our late arrival we would have not spent even one night. We spoke to the owner, but only after having our concerns negated or ghosted for a whole day. Owner eventually gave us a refund of 2-nights stay for the actual accommodation fee, but the online booking fee, and the very high housekeeping fee were not refundable thru the owner. It was then past the 24-hour window for us to even make a claim for a refund from the website. We've been proud users of VRBO for over 10 years, but are really reconsidering our loyalties. Epic fail!

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.
