In the heart of old oaxaca

Four friends and family explored Oaxaca for 2 weeks and enjoyed walking to restaurants, markets, museums and the zocalo from this very well located residence. The cobbled street led to several restaurants that became favorites. Walking up and down the slight hill to the zocalo brought us in range of many many shops, restaurants and historical buildings, The layout of bedrooms above living spaces gave us privacy when needed and the roof deck was a wonderful asset when the sun went behind the buildings. Sunset against the mountains were a daily delight, Our only regret was without shade in the daytime, the roof was too hot to enjoy. Michael was prompt in greeting us, and responding to our very few needs during our stay. He was gracious and helpful in reserving a taxi for when we left. I would recommend this place for anyone who enjoys views and walking in beautiful neighborhoods on cobblestone streets.

Lovely 2 bedroom in a central but quiet location

This is a beautiful 2 bedroom property in Xochimilco area, close to the centro but far away from the crowds and noise. This area used to be aqueduct which become out of use in 1940s and the houses were built!! You can walk everywhere and it felt totally safe in the neighbourhood. The place was super clean, beds super comfortable and we loved the roof top where you get the view of mountains and city--we spent mornings and evening on the terrazia!! Kitchen has enough pots and pans and utensils. There is 1 and half bathroom which is very helpful. They also have a washing machine which really helped as we stayed for 2 weeks. Property manager is very responsive and was always around to help when needed. The owner Patricia is also very responsive and seems like a lovely lady. We enjoyed our stay!

Great location and comfort, but cold showers

Excellent location, comfortable and clean, and the property manager was very responsive to our needs. Our only complaint is that the shower water states cold (we were able to get it lukewarm only once during our weeklong stay).

A renovated house under the acqueduct.

A bright modern house in a wonderful location. 5 minute walk to Santo Domingo Church and a 15 minute walk to the Zocalo. A safe area, close to shops and restaurants. We had an issue with the hot water but Michael, the property manager helped us with that. A faster response time would be appreciated from the owner.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia

Hello!
Brazilian born, I work in the film industry in Los Angeles.
Love mindfulness, yoga - anything that is related with personal and spiritual development.
Going to Oaxaca is always a break that brings up my inspiration when I return to town.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Oaxaca in 2004, when I visited for the first time.
The culture of the city is so unique and there is beauty everywhere you look.
I wanted my house to make justice to the city, so it took more 10 years go going back and forth till the house was built. The house itself is pure art. Designed by Efrain Morales, a very known local architect and painter.
I decorated the house little by little, always listening the gussets suggestions.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing about the house is not only the location inside the city, but the location related to the moon and the sun.
You can sleep watching the moon and wake up watching the sun if you choose the main room.
I spent nights and many Sunrises on the Terrazzo. It is soooo magical and peaceful.
