Lovely apartment for 2 with a kitchenette. In a very central location in beautiful Oaxaca. Lots of great bars and restaurants nearby - from amazing street food taco stands to Michelin rated! Great communication from a very friendly host who helped with information on the parades (we were visiting for Dia de los Muertes which was INCREDIBLE). Would definitely recommend at any time of the year as a base to explore Oaxaca and its surrounding areas, such as Monte Alban which is an amazig place to visit.

Thank you very much for your kind words. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the apartment and Oaxaca.
Looking forward to have you again.
Hasta pronto
We had an amazing time here! The apartment is very close to food and shops and museums. Being set back from the street a little means you’re close to all the action of Oaxaca center at night but can still get good sleep without too much noise. The apartment was very clean and suited our needs perfectly!

Thank you Amanda! We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay with us. We will be happy to have you again when you come back to Oaxaca.
Love the location— right in the thick of the historic area! Cute apartment, amazing street food available on the corner (many many meals from these women), and I felt safe on the streets. Buckets of sweet shops everywhere—clothes, jewelry, pottery—all around you. Food excellent!

Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure having you and we're glad you enjoy the apartment, the location , the food and all the places to walking distance from the apartment.
This is a lovely spot with very comfortable seating and bedding. It was a reprieve to return to after long days around the city. During Muertos the nearby clubs are quite loud, so bring earplugs. Otherwise, it’s a cozy, clean home and very private. I enjoyed having a stocked kitchen to use. The host was very helpful when I had questions. Thanks!

Great location, very helpful
The loft is very close to downtown sites, good restaurants, and a park where you can run. The owner and her sister were very helpful with getting me settled in at the apartment and helped me get a taxi for my early-morning departure. They were so kind and responded very quickly to my questions. The loft is the perfect size for one or two people. It is very clean and has plenty of clothes hangers and drawers for your belongings. The internet was slow, but I wasn’t in Oaxaca to surf the internet, so it wasn’t a big deal. There was a little store a few doors down where I bought some milk and snacks and there was a laundromat a few blocks down the street.

Thank you Melanie for your kind words. Happy to have you. Come back again!
We spent nearly three weeks here, starting just before Dia de
Los Muertos and leaving on the 14th November, 2022. We were welcomed by a member of the family and we’re told if we had any questions she would help.
The suite is perfect for two and extremely well located to walk anywhere in the area, to the main Zocalo area and up to the Auditorio. There is a great market five minutes away (across the street from THE best chocolate ice cream and chocolate); street food, coffee shops, fancy restaurants and artisans everywhere.
It was cleaned spotlessly once a week and was adequately equipped for cooking. We highly recommend it and hope to return next time we are in Mexico
Ce endroit est parfaitement situé pour les voyageurs qui veulent sécurité et centre d'activités
La location s'est très simplement déroulée. Les responsables ont toujours été très disponible avant et pendant notre séjour pour répondre aux questions. Nous recommandons fortement ce lieu qui magnifiquement situé.
Sugerencia: mayor frecuencia de la limpieza, durante la estancia del huesped.
La renta es excelente.

Great Location! Responsive Host! Excellent Welcome
Adriana gave great advice for arriving in Oaxaca and Selene was very helpful getting us oriented. The location was perfect...near great restaurants (one with terrace overlooking cathedral) and charming mescal bar. The problem we had with shower and noisy water pump were resolved quickly. Kitchen nicely equipped but with eating out so inexpensive we mostly just used kitchen for breakfast.
Comfortable bed. Not much of a view or area to sit outside and the church bells were noisy in the morning but that's to be expected in a city with so many beautiful churches. We would return especially if we could get one of the larger flats instead of the loft (where our bedroom was up and bathroom down)
