Loved our stay! William and Nora were very helpful in terms of local knowledge and suggestions. I appreciated that the apartments are in Jalatlaco, a neighborhood close but not in the center. Lots of restaurants and shops right around, and an easy 15 minute walk to the historic center with all of the sites you want to see. We'll definitely stay here when we return.

Awesome property and location

After searching numerous places to stay in Oaxaca we found this awesome jem. The location was perfect, very quiet and close to a variety of restaurants and parks.

A slice of heaven

This is the perfect place to stay when visiting Oaxaca. William and Nora are wonderful hosts, the apartment was clean and quiet and I felt perfectly safe there. Just a few blocks away you can find a great health food store and several restaurants. It's also only about a 15-minute walk to the town center. There is a charming rooftop terrace with a great view of the mountains, it's a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.

Wonderful in all respects

If you are looking for a delightful place to stay in Oaxaca, this is it. The apartment is a true one-bedroom with locally-sourced furniture and decor. There is AC in the bedroom, good wifi throughout, an ample supply of fresh drinking water, and gracious hosts. Just far enough from central Oaxaca to be quiet but close enough to walk everywhere in town, this is really an ideal rental. Highly recommended!

Quiet, Comfortable, and Friendly

William’s apartment is a perfect location in Jalatlaco. It’ s on a quiet street with cafes on every corner. The apartment is cozy and had everything we needed; especially loved the king-sized bed. The owners live on the property and are there to help and offer suggestions - as well as just chat with us daily on the beautiful rooftop patio. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already made plans to return to this apartment next year.

We spent two weeks in one of the two apartments William and Nora have adjacent to their home in the beautiful Jalatlaco barrio. The location is wonderful -- Jalatlaco is beautiful and not yet overrun by tourists, and there are a variety of restaurants and shops nearby for anything you might need, while the well-known signts in the Centro are an easy 10 minute walk away.William and Nora are very knowledeable about the area, and Nora is a licensed guide, so if you'd like information about restaurants, shops, and services in the neighborhood, interesting things to see, or someone to accompany you to Monte Alban or the other sites near Oaxaca, that's easily available.We especially enjoyed the rooftop terrace, which is shared between the two apartments; it's a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views of the city and the mountains surrounding it.We'd strongly recommend these apartments for anyone who is looking for a closer encounter with Oaxaca than you would get in a hotel, especially for longer stays.

Perfect accommodation and location

The apartment was perfect for my wife and I. The rooms were clean, cute and comfortable. From bottled water to blender and French Press, the kitchen had all we needed to make breakfast, drinks and snacks. We really took advantage of the upstairs porch. It has comfy seating and great views of the mountains to the north. The neighborhood couldn't have been better. A quiet street in easy walking to great coffee and pastries, La Merced local market, Plaza St. Domingo and the Zocalo. William and Nora were solid hosts, but Bella, their dog was the true star!

Oaxaca vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property! The apartment was perfect for us, and we especially enjoyed the roof top terrace. We often ended the day up there enjoying the breeze, the beautiful flowers and the mountains in the distance. William was a wonderful host, always ready to visit and take care of any issue that arose. We also took advantage of his wife's cooking school and had a great time cooking in her beautiful kitchen and then enjoying the delicious meal. The neighborhood is perfectly situated for ease to Centro. No place seemed too far to walk to and we loved the murals that we saw on the way. We highly recommend this property.

Our Home Away from Home

We spent 5 wonderful weeks at William and Nora's apartment and it came to feel like home, or even better because there were no worries or little matters to take care of. It was our second long-term stay there and this helped us truly settle in. The apartments (there are two) are beautifully, artistically decorated, well supplied with all the necessities, and everything functions perfectly. Watched over by their loveable bulldog, Bella. William and Nora live in the large house and are readily available if questions come up, but are not intrusive. The location is perfect, on the main street of the barrio of Jalatlaco, the charming and lively quarter just outside the center of Oaxaca. It's quiet, convenient, friendly, we will always stay there and will always return to Oaxaca. Thank you, William and Nora for the unforgettable stay! Hasta luego! We miss our home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by William Frederick Gutierrez

Host profile image
My wife Nora was born and raised in Oaxaca city, and I am originally from NYC with roots on my fathers side from the Oaxaca valley. Nora was raised with guest in her home where her parents hosted students form distant villages throughout the year. In 1994 my wife and I tuned her parents 10 bedroom room into one of the family's 2 B&B's while at the same time began renting out our two apartments located on our property just a few blocks away. We saw a need of many of the B&B guest wanting to have extended stays yet also wanted a place to prepare their own meals as an option.
