What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Lo negativo: Horno sucio, no te contestan los mensajes. La persona que limpia/atiende, antes del buenas tardes te quiere cobrar. Lo positivo: tiene todo para una excelente estadía, horno incluído, cama king king size, baño completo, dos ventiladores y aire acondicionado. Excelente ubicación.”
“Perfect location. Close enough to walk everywhere, but not too close. Quiet, safe, comfortable, convenient. Housekeeping, and host are very friendly and helpful. I’ve read reviews that aren’t realistic. This is Mexico and a first floor apartment. You may occasionally see an insect. We had no water for a very short period of time (noting to do with the property, it just happens sometimes in Mexico). We had an issue with the toilet and the host had someone here to fix it quickly. Fact is, the things that can be controlled and fixed, quickly are! I’d book AHAU again!”
“Beautiful clean new apartment. Had everything I needed. Excellent kitchen with everything you need. Highly recommended.”
