Perfect location - one block to Taos Plaza

This property is bright (nice big windows), conveniently located to Taos Plaza, clean and nicely appointed. (Note: some folks might find the spiral staircase difficult to navigate.) Convenient off-street parking in front of casita. Property worked perfectly for our stay in Taos.

Cool Setup & Great Location

My husband and I visited Taos for some concerts in August. We enjoyed our stay here! The casita is unique, clean and in walking distance of the plaza. Something to consider is there is a narrow, spiral staircase to get to the lofted bedroom and bathroom - cool feature - good to know ahead of time. We would rent it again if given the chance!

Charming Casita adjacent to the plaza

This charming casita is perfectly situated right off the plaza on a quiet street. We highly recommend it for anyone who is comfortable with using a narrow, spiral staircase. We will certainly stay here again.

Incredible location

This was place was amazing. We knew that it would be as we stayed here last year, too. You have to be a little agile--the bedroom is accessed via a narrow spiral staircase. But the casita is beautiful, comfortably furnished, with just about everything that you could need. And the location--well, if you're visiting Taos it could not be more convenient. A+

An enchanting stay in Taos

The property is gorgeous with many pieces of NM artwork, many of them Inger’s. It is perfectly located, just a few steps from Taos Plaza and our new favorite coffee shop World Cup Café. The casita is spacious and airy and has everything you need. We had a really marvelous stay over the Christmas week. And Inger is a sweetheart. If you stay here be sure to pop into her gallery next door and say hi. Highly recommended.

Taos Weekend

We have stayed here before. We love Inger's artwork and the keep sakes that decorate the unit. Lovely kitchen with a window to the south and the great room has north and west windows that add to the charm of the unit. The location on Ledoux street is perfect - a quiet street just 1/2 block from the plaza. Old Taos at its best.

Cozy and close to everything Taos stay

We loved the space - the light, the art, the convenience of being in the middle of Taos. We walked to restaurants and shops, and the art center where we saw our daughter dance with her dance ensemble. Easy to get to to hiking, hot springs, tourist attractions. The fall colors were absolutely fantastic! Hosts were responsive when there was an issue. Would definitely stay here again. Be aware that the only bathroom is in the loft, up a spiral staircase, if mobility is an issue.

Okay experience

Unfortunately this was not a comfortable stay for our Christmas Holiday. The dishwasher needs to be fixed/attached desperately. When opening it the entire dishwasher falls out almost crushing your feet. There is no cold water in the shower. The cold water facet is broken, so we had to take scorching hot showers which made it so we only could bare to shower once each. There are nails sticking up in the floorboards in the bedroom which made us nervous, luckily we didn’t step on them. Also the home does not seemed to be fully cleaned. There were many dead bugs in the bathroom and in the main living area and dust.. We also had to buy trash bags and dishwasher pods since there were only two each. We paid a lot for a comfortable stay and we really wish we had stayed somewhere else as this was a big disappointment. These issues have to be fixed as soon as possible for the next guests, especially the shower and dishwasher. The weight of the plates/dishes made the entire washer fall out without any of us touching it. This could easily crush someone’s feet or hurt a child. And the shower was absolutely unbearable without cold water. Inger is absolutely wonderful and I feel bad writing a bad review, but I think it is necessary.

Wonderful apartment in the middle of Taos' art district.

This wonderful apartment is right next to the Inger Jirby gallery on Ledoux St. in Taos and is filled with examples of her art. It is easy walking distance to the Harwood Museum, the Plaza and Bent St. Charming place in a perfect location.

The Heart of Taos

Spacious casita with all the comforts of home surrounded by the amazing colors and the artwork of Inger Jirby. The casita had everything we were looking for, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable living area and a roomy loft bedroom. All onveniently located within steps of the Taos plaza. As mentioned in other reviews, the spiral staircase to the loft presented an issue with getting anything larger than an overnight bag up to the bedroom. But don't let that stop you. I would rent this casita again in a heartbeat.

Much Needed Getaway

My wife and I stayed here for a much needed getaway. Location was great for my wife to do the downtown scene and I was able to go to Taos Ski Valley. Everything was great and clean in this very unique casita. The only minor issue would be the narrow spiral staircase for carrying luggage up to the bedroom bathroom area.

Cute but could have used a good cleaning

This unit was more spacious than the pictures and description made me think it would be. There are some tight and steep spiral stairs that were a bit challenging to carry luggage up. Note that the only bathroom is up these stairs, too. Two downsides on this one: First, it was dusty (windowsills, ledges, shelves, etc) and the floors were not clean. Second the key situation… We were awoken at 3am to someone entering our place who had apparently rented the next door unit and those keys worked. Glad I had used the chain. That meant either the lockbox on both was the same code, the units are keyed the same, or the cleaner mixed up the keys. Either way it made for a less than positive night’s rest.

Convenient location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Inger’s guest house. The unit was in a great location near the city square, parking was sufficient, and the place was well stocked. The spiral staircase is a bit steep/slick, but that’s the only thing I’d note for people considering this space. Overall, a wonderful experience and we’ll likely rent from Inger again! Her property manager, Curt, was great too!
