About this property

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

Come and experience Oaxacan hospitality at its best!

Gene was an excellent host for our stay in Oaxaca. Shared great info about Oaxaca sites to consider seeing, nearby amenities, taxi info, and recommend an excellent certified local guide (Ivan). He responded quickly to questions and was accommodating. Check in and out information was clearly communicated. The home was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. We did not cook on this trip, but the kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed if we chose to. There was some street noise that could be heard in the master bedroom along with one night I could hear a concert at the nearby stadium, but nothing was loud enough to keep me awake at night.The home is up the hill from most local activities, so if on foot be prepared for an uphill hike at the end of the day, but it's very doable (or just get a cab). Great place to stay if you need/want extra space. I would stay there here again.

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!

This is a great property. It's above old town with a beautiful view of the cathedral. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck and having our morning coffee. It's a quick 10 - 15 minute walk down to the old town. Great shops and restaurants nearby, and Gene the host will give you a list of his favorites. Make sure you go to the local markets for fruit and flowers.Property was also very quiet for such a lively town. One of the best kitchens in all of our VRBO experiences. Gene instantly replies to any problems (I forgot check-in instructions and texted him in a panic). NFL playoffs were going on and, yes, we took time out to watch the games on the big screen tv in the living room. This was such a comfortable house. I could see staying for a month.

Casa Crespo was the perfect home base for my family of 6 (including grandparents and a child) during our stay in Oaxaca Centro for a wedding. I've stayed in many rentals around the world, and this was the best experience I've ever had! Gene was extremely kind, helpful, and communicative, sending recommendations and checking on us regularly. The home was clean and pristine, with great amenities, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful and comfortable furniture, and a gorgeous view of Templo de Santo Domingo from the chic balcony. We were 5-10 minutes walking distance from shops and sights. I would recommend Casa Crespo to anyone. Thank you for everything, Gene! We had the best trip thanks to your generous hospitality!

Casa Crespo is a gem of a home. It's immaculately clean, light-filled and spacious. The furniture is actually comfortable and well-designed. Plus, unlike so many vacation rentals, this property has high-end modern finishings and a very well-equipped kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in for the meals we chose to eat in. The location was convenient to everywhere we wished to visit in Oaxaca, and most places were easy walking distance. We especially enjoyed getting fresh juices and Doña Cande's tamales at the local Sanchez Pascua market just a few blocks away. Gene was a delightful and kind host. He shared helpful (and thoughtful) tips prior to and during our visit. Since central Oaxaca is lively at all hours, bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Thanks for making this visit unforgettable. We look forward to our next visit to Casa Crespo.

About the host

Hosted by Gene Hayes

Host profile image
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!
