When we arrived we were very excited to be staying in a funky house in Taos. Unfortunately there were a lot of small issues that made the stay very disappointing. Most of these can be fixed easily, but they NEED to be addressed, especially for the price the host is charging for the house.
1. Almost every single dish in the kitchen was dirty, we had to hand wash and use the dishwasher before we could even make food.
2. The kitchen drawers have dead bugs in them.
3. The heating in the kitchen doesn't work at all, which the host is aware of, but has not addressed. Again, for the price of the property, this should be fixed immediately. We ended up using 2 space heaters (one extra was brought over by the neighbor) just to keep the living room and kitchen warm enough to hang out in. We were told to make a fire, but making a fire every night is not what we had in mind to keep warm. Even with the chimney open, you will always get some smoke in the house.
4. 20' ceilings look great, but if you don't have a way to clean them, they look pretty bad. There were cobwebs and dust hanging from all the walls because I guess they don't have a duster to reach that high.
5. Water issues, the master bathroom has a shower with almost no pressure, so it is hard to properly get clean, never mind get warm.
Overall, we made it work, as we had no other option. But, very disappointing for the price we had to pay.
