Fast WiFi, Amazing Kitchen, Views, & Private Office/Yard In the Heart of Oaxaca
This lovely house is in a fabulous spot in beautiful downtown Oaxaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/415). Casa Crespo is within walking distance (5-10 min.) of the best attractions Oaxaca has to offer, including the historic Zócalo (central plaza), the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, the Santo Domingo Museum of Oaxacan Cultures, the Ethnobotanical Garden, the Carmen Bajo Church, the Carmen Alto Church and former Convent with its adjacent market, as well as many restaurants, cafes, museums, galleries, and shops.
Casa Crespo offers fast fiber internet (WiFi 6), perfect for those working remotely (strong mesh signal throughout the house, including the office, yard, balconies, and bedrooms). The beautiful private office downstairs shows the original green "Cantera Verde" quarry foundation, making it a perfect motif for your video conference background. Additionally, Casa Crespo has a local telephone number, and we provide unlimited long-distance calling to Canada and the US and an additional 50 other countries (please ask for a list)--share it with your family back home for extra peace of mind.
If you are planning to visit Oaxaca toward the end of July, Casa Crespo is the perfect spot for the Guelaguetza Festival, as it is just a few hundred feet from the stairway to the Cerro del Fortín, where the Lunes del Cerro celebration takes place (usually the last two Mondays of the month)!
You will be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful/functional kitchen in town. It can be an excellent complement for those attending one of the many Oaxacan cooking academies (it is well-stocked with everything you might need).
Regarding sleeping accommodations, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, a full bathroom, and a beautiful balcony; the second and third bedrooms each have a double and a single bed and private bathrooms.
The common areas are relaxing and well-kept. A laundry room is provided for your convenience. If you bring a car, you can rest easy knowing Casa Crespo has a secured garage with an automatic door.
Finally, Casa Crespo is in front of a bus route, which makes it convenient to get to from anywhere in the city.
In summary: - Fast fiber, whole-house internet (WiFi 6) perfect for working remotely - Private, beautiful office (ideal for those working remotely) - Comfortably sleeps six (6) adults - Located in a perfect spot downtown - Four (4) blocks from the famous church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán - Six (6) blocks from the Basilica La Soledad - Beautiful/unbeatable terrace views (from the master bedroom, the kitchen/dining area, and the living room)! - Includes Smart TVs with access to Claro Video, Paramount+, and Samsung Plus - Local telephone with unlimited long-distance (see details above) - Equipped with an electric fence with alarm and security cameras - Only 20 minutes from the Oaxaca International Airport (OAX) - One complete cleaning per week is included with a weekly rental

Thanks, Leigh. We enjoyed having you stay at Casa Crespo. I am glad that you found the place comfortable and that the location was suitable for you to explore the city. We look forward to hosting you again!
Gene's home in Oaxaca is amazing. This was our second stay, and there's a good reason we keep coming back. The house is impeccable and even better than described, making it perfect for our family vacation.We especially appreciated that each bedroom has access to its own full bathroom, which made the home comfortable and convenient for everyone. We rented a car to explore the surrounding sites and villages around Oaxaca, so the secure garage with an automatic door opener was a very welcome amenity and made getting in and out incredibly easy.Most importantly, the views of Santo Domingo are wonderful. Whether enjoying breakfast in the morning or dinner in the evening, the setting is truly special and one of the things that keeps drawing us back to this home.The location couldn't be better. It's just a five-minute walk to Santo Domingo and all the best that Oaxaca Centro has to offer. If you don't feel like cooking, there are countless delicious options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner within walking distance.Communication with Gene was excellent throughout our stay. He was clear, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish.Perfect house, perfect host, perfect stay. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Oaxaca.

Dear Nanci, it was such a pleasure to host you. You were a fantastic guest, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
We had an amazing time at Casa Crespo. The house itself is beautiful; the view of the Santo Domingo de Guzman church from the patio is lovely. The house's closeness to the downtown tourist spots and restaurants was so convenient, but we really enjoyed its location in a quieter area. Our host Gene was outstanding, giving us lots of useful information up front, responding immediately to any questions we had, and recommending excellent drivers for our various activities. Flawless experience!!!!

We enjoyed our stay here immensely. Property was clean and well-maintained, communication with owner was timely and helpful, and location very convenient. There was plenty of room for our family of 5. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much. We will see you again in the near future. You are wonderful guests.
This was a wonderful place! I already miss the view of Santa Domingo! The house is well equipped and has plenty of space. Everything was clean and in great condition. Other than this being one of the nicest VRBOs I’ve stayed in, Gene, the host, has to be the best host I’ve ever had. He communicated before our stay with numerous recommendations and was prompt to reply during our stay. It really made it easy and most enjoyable! Thank you Gene! Such a gem!

Thanks so much, Kelly. We are happy to hear you had a great time and loved the location! Come again!
We all enjoyed our stay at Casa Crespo. Everything was exactly as described. I loved that all the Oaxacan highlights were in walking distance but it was easy to get a taxi when we wanted. It was located on a quiet street far enough from the louder parts of town. We would definitely return to this home on future visits.

About the host
Hosted by Gene Hayes
I was born and raised in Oaxaca, so its food, culture, climate, and traditions are all part of me. I love that place with a passion!
After graduating from High School, I attended Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, USA, where I got a bachelor's degree in Economics with a minor in Mathematics. Later, I obtained a Master's degree in Business Administration from the Marriott School of Business, also at BYU.
I have traveled to over 60 countries, and Oaxaca still has a special place in my heart, and I hope that you will fall in love with it too!
Why they chose this property
This lovely house holds a special place in our hearts because it was built by my mother’s late husband for his mother. It’s been completely renovated and lovingly maintained over the years and is in fantastic shape. We truly believe it’s a hidden gem for anyone visiting Oaxaca!
What makes this property unique
As they say, location, location, location. Casa Crespo is an excellent spot to explore downtown Oaxaca and all it offers. If you want to be in the middle of the action of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then Casa Crespo is it! Nonetheless, the location would not matter if the property were not comfortable, safe, and charming, with all the amenities that will make your visit one to remember. We believe Casa Crespo has it all! See you soon!
