Overall, we were pleased with the excellent location, cozy feel of the cottage, and enclosed backyard for the dog which was very convenient. A few issues to consider are that there is no A/C and although it does cool off at night, the first night we were there it wasn't easy to sleep. The following two days it rained so that kept the cottage cool. There are ceiling fans. Bed pillows are flat and there were only three we could find, but luckily, we brought our pillows. Melissa kept us up to date when there was a water line break and she had it repaired that day, but after that, I had trouble getting an answer when I texted her my questions about checking out. I loved her artwork and the tin birds.

Overall the place was quiet and clean. Proximity to the square was awesome and made everything in walking distance

Casa Azul was the perfect spot for us in Taos. A quiet place to relax close and convenient to the plaza and everything else. We loved the outdoor space and Melissa's creative and funky designs inside and out. We'd definately stay there again.

Clean, comfortable, good for short term stays.

Very southwestern condo with private courtyard

Casa Azul is a nice little get away. It is close to the plaza and has everything you need.

As with all of Melissa's properties, this place was outstanding.Lots of little extras not advertised, clean, private, and clise to town. Will definitely reserve again.

We had a wonderful stay. The casita was all we needed for a few days. Everything in town was walkable from the location. Quiet spot. Easy communication with host. Lovely place!

Loved this beautiful place! We hope to return again!

Quaint cottage offers an authentic Taos experience. Convenient location on a quiet street. Melissa was a great host and easy to work with.

We have never been to Taos, so it was nice to stay close to the "city" center. Easy walk from house to local art and restaurants. This would be a great location for 2 to 3 families to stay, offering everyone privacy, but a common place to meet all together.

This cute little house was very close to downtown Taos. We went as a group my daughter rented the large house my son-in-law‘s mom rented the other house, so the three of us stayed on the same property. This accommodation is great for people that have dogs awesome awesome hostess. A+++++

Nice

A charming, spacious apartment! The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was a comfortable height. Nice, private patio.walking distance to the plaza.

Good location. Lots of space. Plenty of useful items included. Great place for 2-3.

This was such a perfect place for my stay! It was walking distance to the Hanuman Temple. An added bonus was the courtyard! So peaceful.

Amazing 😻

We enjoyed being able to keep the doors and windows open at night and enjoy the night sounds and fresh air. The refrigerator did freeze some of our food, adjustment needed. Overall enjoyed our stay.

An adorable casita with all of the Taos touches. The patio was perfect for our dogs, and the casita was the perfect size for us. Very clean and well appointed. We can’t wait to go back!

Charming cottage and enclosed little yard/ patio area.

The little condo was quiet, private, and very comfortable. Loved it!!

Enjoyed every moment, especially the fresh air coming through the screen doors and windows. Manager was VERY responsive to needs. Only suggestion is it is time to replace the worn mattress for better sleep for guests. Loved the quiet peace so close to Plaza, and beautiful view of Taos Mountain. Thank you! Wanda

This property was great! Close enough to Taos Plaza (currently under construction work---May 2023) to walk with our pup. The church bells in the morning (starting about 7:00 am) were soothing to wake us up. The walled-in yard was good for our pup. Only concern was the shower floor was very slippery! Couldn't find a shower mat, so we avoided showers after the first try. We will return when we can!

Melissa's properties are always a 5.

Perfect for our trip. Could use one more comfy chair in living room -little couch not quite big enough for two to relax comfortably.

A curved, private entrance, well-equipped kitchen, options for comfortable temperature, walled-in, private courtyard, never-ending art, secure entrance with additional key provided -- I loved staying here and so did my dog! We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and to the Plaza. I appreciated being able to do a load of laundry - that was an unexpected bonus. I am a solo traveler, but would recommend Casa Azul for a couple + one or two Littles.

The host was very kind and understanding about adjusting our reservation.

Lots of light from windows and skylights and a lovely walled yard for our dogs, this casita was just right for us. It’s also a short walk to the center of Taos and three minutes from a great park for dog walking. There was plenty of room for two adults and two medium-sized dogs, a comfortable bed, and a roomy kitchen.

Loved this property, and perfectly located. We enjoyed walking short distances to various activities and exploring the culture. Just a relaxing time and being in no rush.

The rental property itself is very cute and in a wonderful location mere minutes from the town square, shopping, food by foot. The baseboard heaters in the bedroom and bathroom were really all we needed to keep the whole place warm since it is so nice and open. We LOVED the private yard for our dogs and the provided dog sheets to put on the couch and bed so our senior pups could be comfortable just like at home. However, the property definitely needed a deep cleaning; food crusted to oven knobs, cobwebs on artwork, dead mosquito stuck to wall in bathroom, light switches with smudges on them, etc. The bathroom and kitchen had definitely been wiped down before our stay, but the floors were quite dirty and I had to pick a few hairs off of the pillowcases in the bedroom that definitely did not belong to us or our dogs since we had just arrived. Trying to get access to the house was the hardest. We had not received instructions 24 hours prior, so I messaged Melissa on VRBO app. She emailed me at 4:50 a.m. the day of our arrival with a line that said "Tree house and airstream summer lodging. Melissa " That was it...so I emailed back and asked how we accessed the property. A few hours passed, we tried calling, no answer, called VRBO customer service, they called, no answer. We kept trying and my husband got her on the phone, providing my name, email address, etc. for our stay. She messaged in email and VRBO she would send access, but another 2-3 hours pass, we're arriving into town in 2 hours, and nothing arrived in my email or my VRBO messages or spam. I called and was able to get the access instructions over the phone from her but not before she blamed my husband for, and I quote, "mucking things up." Not sure how he "mucked things up" by providing all my contact details. That did not leave us feeling very confident about booking with this property manager which is shame because the whole compound at that property was absolutely charming and so very convenient to downtown Taos. Be vigilant about getting access instructions 24-48 hours before your stay here and bring some light cleaning supplies, and this is a great spot.

Lovely little Taos casita! Near the plaza in the historic district.

Wonderful location close to shops and restaurants. Decorated very nice. Loved the private yard for the dogs. Unfortunately most of the yard is dirt. Would recommend rocks or mulch would be great to help keep the dogs paws clean. Melissa is always great to work with!
