Our month-long stay with 2 adults and 4 children all under age 11 was nothing short of spectacular! The house is spacious and welcoming with very fun wall paintings. The rooftop patio was a highlight, offering interesting views of the city and surrounding hills. The beds were comfortable and the property was very clean. The fans in every room helped us to survive the heat wave in the absence of air conditioning.
Roberto was always very responsive. Maria and Leo, the caretakers, were kind and attentive, providing valuable local insights and quickly meeting our various requests. Any items we needed were quickly provided and any issues addressed.
Exploring the charming and quiet neighborhood of Jalatlaco, with its cobblestone streets, vibrant murals, and cozy cafés, was a real joy. We loved being able to walk to numerous restaurants, the beautiful local church, attractions, Spanish school and Mercado La Merced, where we sampled delicious local fare and bought our groceries and supplies for cooking in the small but well-appointed kitchen. We could easily walk downtown to most of the attractions Oaxaca has to offer. (It was about 10 minutes walking to Santo Domingo church and 20 minutes to the Zocalo.)
An unexpected delight was the fascinating alebrije workshop, where the kids took an alebrije painting class.
Overall, our time at this VRBO property was amazing! We would highly recommend this rental for any families visiting Oaxaca.
