    The house was beautiful and very spacious. However, it was frustrating to deal with a few maintenance issues. The sink in the downstairs bedroom was leaking. Didn’t make a huge mess on floor but we had to step around it so that water wouldn’t get all over the place. They tried to repair it but didn’t have the part that needed to be replaced. One of my kids got bit by ants that had gotten in through a crack on the wall. They got onto his bed. The pillow was over the area where the ants were so we couldn’t see them until we made the bed the next morning. They took care of the issue, but none the less my kiddo had ant bites on his leg and back. We thought they were mosquito bites until we saw the ants. It rained a couple of the nights we were there. The first night, water leaked through the domes up on the ceiling onto the floor. When I reported this, all they said was that they had never had that issue before, which is interesting. They didn’t do anything about it. I really loved the area where the house is, but unfortunately, it was frustrating to have paid what I paid and had to deal with these issues.

    We loved having this VRBO be our home base while in Guatemala. Such a great space to hang out in house (so many wonderful sitting areas) and pool between all our adventures and day trips!

    Each person on the staff was a joy to meet!!! Flor and everyone was so helpful to make sure we were comfortable and could find our way around not just the villa but options nearby. It was a quick walk to the main road for shopping and dining. We also took advantage of the option to have a local woman come cook for us (outlined in the welcome binder but I would get with Flor ahead of time if able to make sure she is available for you). Every meal was amazing - and she was the absolute sweetest woman. We are already planning our trip back next year!!

    Our family of 5 stayed her in March 2020 (before Coronavirus) and had a wonderful time. There are three bedrooms with en suite baths and a loft area with two twin beds. The beds are very firm. We were not hot as there were fans at night and it got cool enough to sleep. We could walk almost everywhere although we took Uber at night. Had wonderful meals. Flor was amazing and arranged shuttles etc and a coffee tour. We had Myda cook a dinner and 2 breakfasts which were good and a help. Plenty of clean water from a dispenser. The pool and hot tub were great and we used both every day. Internet was fine for what we needed. One of the more relaxing vacations we've had.

    We loved our 4-night stay in Antigua at this beautiful, cozy, super clean and spacious house. Everything was comfortable, the pool/hot tub situation was lovely, and the proximity to the center of town, unbeatable. Can only report good things!

    This property boats many nice touches that we haven’t experienced in other Antigua rentals, like robes, nice linens, face wipes, mostly comfortable furniture. Good cleaning staff. Wonderful to have access to washer/dryer since we had a full house of three generations. We made arrangements through Flor to have Six meals prepared for us and each was more delectable than the prior one. Pepian, the national dish, was the best I’ve eaten anywhere including the better restaurants. The swimming pool and hot tub were very clean and great fun for the kids. Gated area and 24 hour guards provided good security. Very quiet at night which isn’t a Guatemalan norm. Things you might consider: Location requires crossing a major street near the bus station and at certain times of the day traffic is chaotic. There are other rentals that share the pool. While indoor areas are tranquil, the pool and shared patio can be quite busy.

    Great setup with the houses surrounding the pool - we met the loveliest family also staying there. The very best part of this house - after staying in others in Guatemala - is it is serenely QUIET. No roosters, no dogs barking, no tuk tuks flying behind the house - it was quiet! The house is also very clean and beautifully decorated with a lovely courtyard. Flor was so kind and accommodating, and the gift basket was also a nice touch. My only suggestion would be to add a thick pillowtop mattress pad to the beds - the mattresses are quite hard and the bedspreads/linens are old. A pillowtop mattress pad would do wonders.

    We loved staying at this property in Antigua! We felt incredibly safe, and the house was so serene. It was wonderful to wake up and relax in the jacuzzi, or sit in the spacious living room together at night. Communication with the owner and property manager was terrific - Flor even helped me recover my Kindle that I forgot when we left! I would definitely stay here again.

    We stayed at this property with 4 women who came to Antigua for Spanish lessons. It was about a 15 minute walk in the morning to La Merced where most of the Spanish schools are located. The house itself is very spacious and beautifully decorated and we greatly appreciated the attention to detail (maps, phone, magazines) that made our stay that much more comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the two outdoor areas. It was very quiet at night and we felt very safe inside this gated community. Would highly recommend for groups/familys looking for a large home to relax in after a day of exploring Antigua.
