El Balcon is a second-floor one-room studio apartment with private bath and exterior entry that offers a King-size bed (which may be configured as two twin beds if the guest desires), seating for two, WiFi, a 24-inch Roku TV, mini-fridge, beverage station, and a small walk-in closet for hanging garments and storing luggage. El Balcon is large enough for two people. The space El Balcon guests have a private entry from the Marfa House balcony, as well as direct access to the balcony for a breezy seating option at any time. The balcony is a common area open to all guests. In addition, the other common areas of Marfa House are also available--the first floor gallery living room and the atrium at the rear with large screen TV and a firepit. Guests should also note the following: El Balcon is adjacent to a kitchen/dining room for another unit.

Other things to note A WORD ABOUT OUR CLEANING PRACTICES IN THE WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC: Marfa House wants its guests to be safe during their visits. In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have committed to the following practices: --Booked units will be left vacant a minimum of 24 hours between guest residencies. --The host will socially distance and wear a mask during direct interactions with guests. Guests will, of course, have all-hours access to the Marfa House entry and their booked unit via keypad entrance access. --An antiseptic solution will be used to clean all contact surfaces in each unit before guests check in--including door knobs, appliances, counters, and mini split AC/heating and ceiling fan remotes, as well as multiple daily wipe-downs of high-traffic surfaces in the common areas, such as entry door knobs, stair and balcony railings, and television remotes in the atrium. In addition, El Balcon is heated and cooled with an individual mini split HVAC unit that utilizes air directly from outside, so there is no concern regarding health issues that could arise from recirculated air. Please socially distance from other guests if your are using the common areas. The City of Marfa charges a local occupancy tax of seven percent in addition to the State occupancy tax of six percent.
