About this property
Best Casita: A Hidden Jewel Next To The Plaza.
This hidden jewel only a block from Taos Plaza is part of a historical hacienda style adobe that once housed nuns working at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Newly and tastefully renovated, the interior was designed with comfort and convenience in mind, and it features high ceilings, a well appointed kitchen, oak floors, a kiva fireplace, and a cozy living area. An old apple tree and a plum tree stand in a small, grassy courtyard that feels almost Mediterranean in it's serenity. It is located on a quiet one-way street only one block west of the Taos plaza.
Gas range and a large collection of cooking supplies. French door refrigerator, microwave. Full size washer and dryer, heated bathroom floor, a gas heating stove and a kiva fireplace. Electric baseboard heater in bedroom, ceiling fans. Premium linens and a down comforter and pillows; a comfortable plush/firm Queen mattress. Full sleeper sofa with memory foam topped mattress. High speed internet, HDTV, Blue Ray/DVD player, surround sound entertainment system, NetFlix streaming on Roku, Pandora/Spotify/Apple Airplay ready stereo system.
Sorry, but I cannot allow pets.
The location of the apartment is one of it's greatest assets. From the front door, a five minute walk will reach twelve restaurants, dozens of galleries, the best coffee in town (The World Cup), Shree Yoga Studio, Smith's grocery store, the Bent Street shopping district, Ledoux Street, and of course, the Taos Plaza. Security camera disclosure: There is a doorbell camera on the front door and motion activated security cameras in the parking area and at the front entrance to the courtyard. Other units on the property also have doorbell cameras.

This lovely unit is exactly as advertised. Such a great location right in town, parking on site, super clean, well-appointed kitchen and very comfortable. We will certainly stay here again.
Excellent location and charming casita in the heart of Taos
This secluded little casita is quaint and historic but tucked right in the heart of downtown Taos. It was well appointed to accommodate our family of 3 nicely. We loved the outdoor courtyard, wood floors, fireplace and heated bathroom floors. It was a treat to experience Taos here.

The Best Casita is an amazing place to stay in Taos! Clean, quiet, plenty of room, everything you need for a comfortable stay. Minutes from the main plaza downtown, plenty of close food choices and shopping. Marcus and Kelly are Great hosts! We have already booked a return trip for next year! Thanks! chris and donna
The Best Casita was great! The location and parking were excellent, and the casita was beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. It had all the modern conveniences with a nod to the original adobe. Loved entering through the peaceful courtyard.
We had a great stay- it was the first big snowfall of the year and we appreciated that the host shoveled our parking spot and the walkway to our casita. The place was lovely, and we enjoyed the cozy little fireplace.
We loved our stay at Best Casita in Taos! The space was very clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location can’t be beat and we hope to return in the future.
Quiet and serene, very peaceful oasis near to most of the Taos’s attractions. We appreciated the tasteful decor. Also, the kitchen and pantry were well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!
The apartment is stocked so nicely and we had no trouble finding what we needed for a lovely stay. We walked almost everywhere. Really enjoyed the bonfire festivities on Sat. Thanks so much. Worked out really nicely for us.
Very nicely appointed property. The interior design was modern, yet comfortable. The unit was very well equipped and outfitted. The location of the property gave easy and quick access to the Plaza area. We would highly recommend your considering this property.
This is such a lovely spot in the heart of Taos. It’s quiet and quaint with the perfect Northern New Mexico touches combined with modern conveniences. The list (in the guest info book) of recommended things to do is a great way to see the area. We loved hiking in the ski valley and along the Gorge. Exploring the plaza and downtown on foot was a delight from this location as well. The local teas were a treat and such a thoughtful way to welcome a guest. Thank you for another delightful stay in your Casita—we will be back!
Good location near the main shopping Taos Plaza, and close to the main road (64), and walkable to several restaurants. Very clean unit and the sleeper sofa made the additional bed we needed. A nice bonus was the heated floors in the bathroom.
Marcus was a phenomenal host. He provided great recommendations for area attractions and dining. The location was fantastic and Marcus provided so many nice touches like wine, yogurt and tea. It was a lovely stay and we'll be sure to bookmark this condo for future trips!
My wife and I had a splendid five day holiday in Taos. We stayed at a beautiful one bedroom Casita a block from the Main Plaza. Marcus was a wonderful host and welcomed us upon our arrival. He showed us around the place and gave us great advice on things to do and places to eat in Taos. The Casita was extremely clean and comfortable and had all the amenities. We hope to come back!
