The Cranes's lovely home made for a delightful 10-day stay over the holidays with family and friends. One of the best parts about the environment is that this is obviously a place that they enjoy visiting and it shows in the personal touches around the house.
From arrival to departure the housekeeper/cook Sra. Silvia and the property administrator Delia did everything they could to make our stay comfortable, responding like troupers when one of us took a fall or was sick for a couple of days.
Silvia is an excellent cook and a delightful person. She cooked most of our meals. We talked over with her when and what we would like to eat, gave her money for the groceries and she took care of the rest. If you enjoy homemade Mexican cuisine as we do, hers will be better than you are likely to get in any restaurant. At the end of our visit, we felt like Silvia and her husband, who live on the property, were valued new friends.
The home itself is great. The pictures on VRBO are completely accurate in every respect. Having been "burned" by previous vacation rentals which were not as advertised, we asked a local friend to arrange to visit the house in advance. The owners cooperated with this request.
The master bedroom and bath are very ample and well equipped. Another bedroom with twin beds and its own ensuite bath is on the main floor. The third bedroom and bath are in another building, affording privacy to those occupants and is also more than adequate. The very comfortable living room and tv room/office were very enjoyable, but we spent most of our time on the patio by the pool. The pool was kept at a comfortable temperature by solar heating.
We enjoyed the location of the home, which is virtually across the street from a shopping area with a large supermarket and other shops. There is another strip mall in walking distance with ATMs. Casa Grúa is a short ride to the main plaza and to various restaurants, movie theaters, etc. in the general neighborhood.
We are two gay couples and found ourselves completely welcomed by our hosts. Cuernavaca seems to be a fairly gay-friendly town. Until recently the state of Morelos offered same-sex marriages. Unfortunately local church leaders pressured the state to rescind the law.
Just in case you're wondering, I have no ownership or other fiduciary interest in this property. I just want others to enjoy it and maybe make a special trip to Cuernavaca, which is a great place to visit.
