Tucked away on a quiet street a block from the plaza, this charming apartment is the cozy get away you've been looking for. Truly a hidden jewel. Best Casita is a hidden jewel only a block from Taos Plaza. It is part of a historical hacienda style adobe that once housed nuns working at a church nearby that burned down in the 60's. 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. Nespresso machine with milk frother, French press, drip coffee maker. Toaster oven, panini press. 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, YouTubeTV, Blue Ray/DVD player, surround sound entertainment system, NetFlix and Amazon Prime streaming, Pandora/Spotify/Apple Airplay ready stereo system. Small wall safe, hair dryer. Large selection of books and games (backgammon, chess, dominoes, Scrabble, Apples to Apples, Old Maid, Memory, Anomia, Bananagrams, cards). 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. The entire apartment is for guests only. The courtyard is shared with guests and owners of the other apartments in the building. I am often available to meet you upon arrival and check you in myself, but if not, I will have my apartment manager greet you. If you will be arriving at night, I can leave a key for you. The apartment is in the historic district of Taos. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and ideally located to nearby museums, restaurants, shopping, and the Taos plaza. Directions to the parking area are included with check in information. Once you have arrived, all of the downtown area is easily walkable. Information about public transportation is available on request. If you have a large group, you may consider also renting my other property in the same building, Peaceful Apartment in Historic Hacienda with Private Hot Tub. It has a larger kitchen that is suitable for a big group and a private yard with a dining patio, outdoor grill and a hot tub.
