  Thank you so much for opening your home to our family. It was bigger and nicer than we imagined. It felt like we were walking into our own home. The thoughtful finishing touches make it feel warm and homey. It was the perfect size and location for our family with 2 little kids. Your neighbors were so kind and welcoming, too. It was perfect for our stay in Antigua. Thank you.

  My friend and I stayed at Las Arcadias for 5 days. The condo was exactly as described and the pictures were very accurate. The condo was very clean and well maintained. Nancy (Guatemalareservations.com) was very, very helpful in all aspects of our stay....always answered her phone and was so patient in answering all of our many questions without hesitation. The condo has a great floor plan and the security is top notch...the pool is fine, although the pump was not working. The BBQ pit could use some cleaning up....you need charcoal if you're going to use it. The grate needs to be covered with aluminum foil. Also, be aware that you can't flush toilet paper in this condo due to the plumbing...but this is the case in most of Antigua. All in all, I would recommend renting vs a hotel ...cheaper and you have all the amenities. Be aware that all the bedrooms are upstairs, with only a half bath down....not for the elderly or disabled. Great TV and computer....although the computer had a few problems , but Nancy was getting it fixed when we were leaving. Grocery store is close by and cheap. Would definitely come back and I recommend this property 100% !

  Owner response: I'm belatedly thanking you for your really nice posting about our townhouse in Antigua that you stayed at in October. I'm so glad it worked out for you and that it was pretty much what you expected it to be. Nancy is, indeed, a jewel and really makes it possible for us to offer our home to renters like you. I hope you will return! I'm ready to get away and enjoy the peace of Antigua! Again, thanks - Julie (the owner)

  Our family of 5, including 3 teens, enjoyed our recent week in Guatemala. The property manager was incredibly helpful with all our questions before we traveled, and the townhome couldn't have been more perfect for us. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well located to enjoy all that Antigua offers. Our teens enjoyed the pools, within sight of the condo, while my wife and I relaxed with coffee on the patio. The complex guard helped us negotiate pizza delivery for the kids our first evening and arranged for a tuk tuk so my wife and I could enjoy dinner out. Day trips for climbing the Volcano Pacaya, kayaking on Lake Atitlan, and zip lining at Finca Filadelfia were favorites with our teens. We won't hesitate to stay here on our next vacation in paradise.

  Owner response: I am very belatedly thanking you for posting your kind comments about our townhouse in Antigua that you stayed at last Spring. I'm so glad that it worked out for you and your family. We love it there and try to visit at least once a year. Hopefully, you'll get a chance to return, too! Again, many thanks -- Julie (the owner)

  The townhouse we stayed in was terrific! Clean, safe, quiet and comfy. The property manager was very responsive to everything we needed. The only issue we had was we thought the attendent at the front gate could arrange a taxi for us, but he said he didn't have a phone. We worked around that just fine. All in all, a great place for a family to stay and highly recommended. However, I was not comfortable walking down the street after dark and recommend a taxi into town or food delivery after dark. Frida's has great Mexican food, though a bit pricey, and they deliver.

  The condo was well appointed with great kitchen stuff, great towels, sheets and bed spreads. The location was very quiet even on New Years Eve. The only thing I would ask for would be a working cold water faucet to the washing machine. Everything else was wonderful.

  On our recent trip to the Guatemalan highlands we rented this townhouse with a group of friends. The home was in a quiet area of a gated complex, yet still easy walking distance to most of Antigua. The house was very well furnished and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable week.Any questions we had were promptly replyed to. Antigua is a beautiful city with much to see and many great restaurants. Don't miss a coffe at least at what has to be the most beautiful McDonald's anywhere. All in all a most enjoyable stay that I would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Antigua

  You have no idea how wonderful it was for our family to stay here! We were dropped at another house that we were told was in Antigua but was actually in San Pedro Las Huertas. After a stressful first night we found your wonderful house and enjoyed it for three weeks. We had the perfect proximity to parque central (a 10 minute walk with two small kids) and a wonderful quiet house at all hours. The two pools were perfect and the garden area allowed for a lot of play time with the kids. When we return to Guatemala, we'll stay here again without hesitation. It was the perfect place for out family to call home.

  May 30, June 8, 2009 Thank you very much for allowing us to stay in your lovely home. It was quiet, private and spacious and it allowed the family to feel very comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the pool. My son and I left the city for one day and upon our return, we felt like we were returning home.
