‘‘A real oasis in the middle of the city. In a popular area close to the market and the cathedral.
The house is very well-equipped and decorated with great care. It felt like we were living outdoors with the patio and the fountain. The pool was very nice.
Recommended at 200%.’’

‘‘What a magical place to stay right in the heart of Centro Historico! The house was gorgeous and very clean. Lots of little touches like coffee, cervezas, fresh fruit, a smart TV, games.
The garage made having a rental car so much easier. Katie was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend!’’
