Rene was a stellar host who responded promptly and clearly to all inquiries and went above and beyond by driving us to a restaurant the evening we arrived as the traffic delayed our arrival until 9PM. Throughout our stay Rene ensured that any questions we had about the local area were thoughtfully answered. From the moment we arrived, we felt as though we were in a safe, authentic, upscale community embedded in a larger working class neighborhood. Loved the fact that despite being tourists, we did not feel like tourists and were able enjoy the local way of life - transportation, markets, little shops and the like. We were so pleased with "our" value-laden home. Rene has equipped his home with EVERYTHING you might need: ceiling fans everywhere, floor fans everywhere, beautiful welcome fruit basket and biscotti, extra pillows, soap, toothpaste, extra water bottles, beautiful Mayan decor, fully-equipped kitchen, ample towels, loads of light switches, ample closet space and hangers, beautiful landscaping, a pool table, wonderful jazz music, and so much more. Stepping into this home is like being welcomed into a friend's charming and detail-oriented home. Enjoyed a lovely long chat with Vilma, the housekeeper, who maintains an IMMACULATE house. The house is part of a small, charming neighborhood of traditional-style homes set behind a secure gate. Thanks to the many windows and skylights the house is bright throughout the day. Am running out of space. Fantastic!! Will be back!
