This is a great place to stay. It’s right in the middle of the main square, easy walking to everything that’s walkable in Marfa. It’s a historic loft with almost too much room if there is such a thing, but the beds, bathrooms, and kitchen are all well done. We will try and stay again if it’s available! Thank you.
