My family of 5 loved our stay at Alex’s casita. It was such a special place . We loved having breakfast on the deck with the amazing view of Guanajuato’s colorful houses, spending afternoons or evenings in the pool, and we appreciated the thoughtful decor and landscaping throughout. Our girls loved the projectors and playing piano. The casita is right at the edge of the historic center and super walkable to everything you’d like to do in the historic center. My husband and I felt very safe walking back home after a late night drink at one of Guanajuato’s many bars. While you can hear some dogs barking and roosters in the morning, I found it distant enough to be pleasant and it would easily be blocked out by ear plugs. The beds were very comfortable and the house was super clean. It was like a little beach vibes oasis in the middle of Guanajuato. I highly recommend Alex’s place.

Alex was awesome. Very helpful, very understanding, proactive and professional. Couldn’t have asked for a better host. The property itself was pretty much perfect. That terrace is epic. What a view. Those breezy, cool mornings and evenings looking over that gem of a city were worth the price alone. We spent many, many hours working, eating, talking, and watching the World Cup on that terrace. I will definitely miss it. The street frontage is a little grubby, but the neighborhood itself is charming in its own way, supremely walkable, and yet private and just the right distance from centro. If you have found this place and it fits your party size, look no further. I don’t think it can be topped. It does require a basic minimum of physical fitness to navigate the stairs but so does this town. The city itself is a constant wall of sound, but that just adds to its charm and life for me. Stay away from Gto if that bothers you. I miss those roosters already.

Wow, this Airbnb was seriously the best! The vibe was so chill and cozy, it felt like a home away from home. Everything was super clean and thoughtfully decorated, which made the whole stay so enjoyable. We loved how close it was to all the cool spots we wanted to check out. Honestly, it was the perfect place to relax and recharge. Don't think twice about booking this place!!

Our stay in Guanajuato was amazing and exceeded expectations in every way. The Airbnb was located right on the Jardin Embajadoras, a park filled with street food and vendors throughout the day, making it easy to grab fresh handmade tortillas and gorditas anytime. We could walk out the door and onto a bus to centro or walk there in minutes. But it was also very tempting to just stay home! Our whole family enjoyed the unique amenities, like the projector for movie nights, the hammocks overlooking the colorful hills and sunsets, the room-darkening curtains, and even the piano. The pool was always warm and crystal clear, and the host went above and beyond by installing safety gates at the pool and patio, letting us relax and not worry about our little ones. The host’s thoughtful recommendations and the vibrant neighborhood made this a perfect stay—we’d return in a heartbeat!
Host Response
Thanks so much, Seth and Alexa! Really appreciate the kind words. I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed the house and the neighborhood, and I’m glad you got to experience it the way locals do. You were awesome guests, and you’re always welcome back anytime!

In a time when many of us begin to question whether to "risk" staying at a vacation rental rather than the ease of a hotel, Alex and his property exceed expectations on every count. All of the reviews about the space and location are accurate. In addition, Alex provides the service you get a 5 star hotel. We can't wait to come back!
Host Response
Oh thank you David 🙏 we are very glad you enjoyed your stay!!

Awesome house! Excellent for a group of friends or family. Three very separate spaces and a fantastic pool and outdoor space nestled in the hills of Guanajuato within a three minute walk to everything! Right in the thick of it all. The design on the house and the decorations are worth the price. You can tell Alex in an artist. Comfortably sleeps 9. Would live to be back.
Host Response
Thanks so much, Carlo! Really glad you enjoyed the house and the different spaces, it’s exactly what we hoped people would appreciate. And I truly appreciate your kind words about the design 🙏 You were a great guest, and you’re welcome back anytime!

This was my second time staying at Alex’s property, and it keeps getting better. Two years ago, I enjoyed the cozy bungalow; this time, we brought a few more friends and rented the entire place. The location is ideal — close enough to the valley floor that grabbing groceries or heading out for a bite is effortless. Unlike many spots tucked higher into the hills, this one offers easy access without sacrificing the view. The neighborhood is peaceful, and the scenery is stunning. Whether you're relaxing in the pool or gazing out from the expansive windows, the vistas are equally breathtaking. It’s the kind of place that invites you to unwind. Alex is a fantastic host — responsive, proactive, and thoughtful. I plan to return regularly and hope this gem is always available when I do.

Thank you for your nice comments Tim, it was great to see you back and thank you for fixing the guitar!

Great stay! We were in town for a wedding. The location was beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice. Although we were extremely close to the downtown area, we felt secluded and the home is very private. Alex was a wonderful host. He was so helpful, send clear instructions, and has a great team of people that help keep things running smoothly! We hope to visit again soon.

My family had a wonderful stay at Alex’s place. It was clean, well furnished, and really cute! Alex included so many thoughtful amenities, like earplugs, and a zapping fly swatter, a coffee maker, and electric kettle in every unit. There were plenty of towels and kitchenware. We are four senior aged siblings and there were 8 of us including spouses and adult children, so renting the three units worked very well. We met on the wonderful rooftop patio to visit and share experiences, but we each could have privacy if needed. We were there during the Cervantino Festival so it was a bit noisier at night with occasional car alarms and barking dogs at night (thus the earplugs), but all the beds were comfortable and we slept well. Alex also included restaurant recommendations and all the ones we tried were very good. Highly recommended!
Host Response
Thanks so much, Xandra—really happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the stay. Sounds like you used the space exactly how it was meant to be. Appreciate you noticing the details, and glad the earplugs came in handy during Cervantino 😊 Happy you chose the place & hope to have you back.

Spacious, comfortable house with lots of space, pool/jacuzzi, and a neighbor's cat who would often greet us on our arrival. There was coffee in the kitchen and beer in the fridge by the pool, and regular maid service was included. Alex was a great host; he provided clear check-in/check-out instructions (including a video showing how to navigate the front entrance and find the keys), and his restaurant recommendations were spot-on. This is a great location, right on the edge of Zona Centro and an easy walk to the La Presa neighborhood (worth a visit if you want to experience a more low-key part of town).

We had a spectacular stay in Guanajuato! Host Alex was incredibly friendly and attentive—his hospitality truly stood out. The location is fantastic, with a breathtaking view of the city. Yes, there are some stairs, but it wouldn’t be Guanajuato without them! The pool was clean and heated just as described, making it a perfect spot to relax. The house is ideal for groups—comfortably fitting up to 9 people—and the attention to detail throughout the space made it feel like Alex had anticipated our every need. This is far more than just a place to sleep while in town—it truly feels like a resort experience. Alex has forever raised the bar for what I expect from an Airbnb in Guanajuato. I’ll definitely have to adjust my expectations for future stays elsewhere. Highly recommended—100%!
Host Response
Thanks a lot Josue, I am glad you had a great stay and you are welcome back anytime :)

What an amazing home! Exactly like the pictures. With dozens of thoughtful details for guests! The attention to detail from Alex is top in all locations with stayed at through Airbnb!

Alex's Airbnb was a fantastic and spacious location, perfect for our group of 5 adults. The property was clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully arranged. We rented all 3 apartments, which offered stunning views, especially at sunset. The beautiful orange tree by the pool added to the charm, and there was plenty of clean drinking water available. Coffee was provided, and the city views were incredible. The location was very convenient, and Alex was an outstanding host, providing clear communication and ensuring everything was well-organized.

Alex's apartments were great! We were a large group of friends who went on a trip and there were many different areas where we could stay in smaller groups, or on the rooftop terrace together 😊 we would love to come back!

This is from far the absolute best airbnb of Guanajuato. Where to start? First a five star attention from Alex. Everything was made smooth and easy, great communication and so many details for us in the house from fresh fruit baskets to coffee beans. Then: the house. Hard to believe you can find such a vast place right in the city center. We (very) comfortably fit 8 people, each with their own kitchen and bathroom. The views from the terraces and the pool are amazing, and the house is so well equipped that for the first time, everyone preferred staying at home than visiting. I can’t list all the amazing equipments but I would love to have half of these at home!! We’ll definitely be back. Thanks Alex for everything you are a tremendous host.
Host Response
Aww thank you Claire for your very kind comments! And it is so nice to hear you had a happy stay :) Thanks

I never write reviews but this was just so good of an experience that I had to write one! First, the airbnb itself was AMAZING. The most stunning Airbnb I have ever stayed in and everything you needed was there for you. He even had tote bags in some of the rooms to use during your stay. The location was also absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to all of the places we needed to go to, couldn't have been better. The views from the Airbnb, the amenities, the decoration, everything was perfection. To top it all of, Alex was the best host! He was so quick to respond to any messages. We had one issue arise and he came to solve it immediately. The customer service was top notch. I can't say enough good things. I will be recommending this place to anyone who listens. If you needed a sign, this is it!
Host Response
Thanks Roxana, really appreciate you took the time to write this. Glad everything from the space to the location worked so well for you. And happy we could sort things quickly when needed.

We had a group of friends for my husband's 40th birthday party and rented out the whole place. By the end of the trip, we were wishing it was our own place! Location to downtown activites, local restaurants and markets were spot on. The lay-out was amazing and offered us ample room and ability to hang out and yet have our own private bungalows for privacy. The pool was fantastic. It was hot during the day so we would start in the morning and make our way back in the afternoon for some pool time. The outdoor dining room was a favorite location as well where we could hang for morning coffee, read in the hammocks or eat dinner together. We have been to Guanajuato 2 other times and stayed in hotels and this was hands down THE best place to stay. Thanks to Alex and Conseulo for making the place clean, fun and beautiful! Let us know if you ever want to sell! :)

Incredibly beautiful and clean home in downtown Guanajuato. Only a 10-minute walk to Teatro Juárez. Very peaceful too. Alex was very responsive throughout our stay and answered every single question we had. The pool and the terrace are amazing! I would definitely come back with my family.

Sergio

Perfect place for our one week stay (8 adults and two kids). We enjoyed the heated pool, the terrace with the amazing view of the city, the location (walking distance to city centre) and having independent fully-equipped apartments to ensure privacy. The host puts reat attention to detail (welcome bottle of wine/ beer in terrace fridge, bbq availabe, projectors in each room...). We would definitely return!

Our family's stay at La Playita in Guanajuato was exceptional. The apartments are clean, bursting with unique charm, and incredibly comfortable. The view of the city, relaxing hammocks, and inviting pool exceeded our expectations. Alex and his team were outstanding, responsive, and truly made us feel at home. An unexpected flight cancellation extended our stay, turning what could have been a hassle into extra nights in paradise. La Playita is not just a place to stay; it’s where memories are made. We can't wait to return!
Host Response
Oh thanks a lot James!! It feels like we could use your feedback for a comercial! We are glad you made good memories in Guanajuato! Take good care

This was our groups 1st trip to Guanajuato, and we all left saying, “When can we come back”. Part of that was because of Alex and his accommodations. We had 7 people and rented out all 3 apartments and it was perfect! There is a market across the street where we went daily to get street food as it was tastier, quicker, and cheaper than any restaurant we went to. You are only about 10 min walk to the “touristy” part of Guanajuato. Which I liked getting to experience other parts of the city. If you are looking to come to Guanajuato, and Alex place is available, don’t wait and just book it. I promise you won’t regret it!
Host Response
Thanks Joe, really appreciate this. Glad you enjoyed the area and made the most of the group setup, that’s exactly what it’s designed for.
