3BR Villa in Oaxaca City

Excellent, 1 month ago

The stay was very pleasant. During our visit, we made some comments about a problem in the shower, and the hosts took care of it immediately. We really appreciate your quick response and willingness to resolve any issues. Definitely excellent service.

Host Response

Thanks!

Gabriela’s Airbnb in Oaxaca was one of those rare places that feels both artfully composed and deeply welcoming. She was incredibly responsive to every request—quick, thoughtful, and genuinely kind in a way that made us feel immediately at ease. The interior spaces are beautifully designed, with a careful balance of texture, light, and color that makes each room feel intentional yet effortless. Every detail seems considered, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and inspiring. And the rooftop gathering space is truly special—a breathtaking view, perfect for slow mornings or golden-hour conversations, where the sky seems to stretch endlessly above Oaxaca. It’s more than just a place to stay; it’s a space that invites you to linger, connect, and savor the moment.

Thank you Arthur! It was a pleasure to have you at home!

We had a great stay at Casa Bravo. What stood out was the central location - walkable to everything and very safe - how charming it was decorated, the hammock and terrace and Gabriela was a terrific host - great information, showed us how the house worked, and responsive to (minor) issues. That said, know that sound carries both from the street and within the house, there are skylights so room brightened around 7am, and there is no temperature control - in December not a big deal but mornings and evenings we needed our coats in common spaces outside bedrooms (which were warmer). If we could have given 4.5 stars we would but Gabriela was such a great host we bumped the review up.

Gabriela’s place was beautifully appointed and contained all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The location was great, in walking distance to many things while at the same time being relatively quiet. Gabriela greeted us when we arrived and was always very responsive to any questions we had. We had challenges with the internet and she tried multiple times to address them. While the internet did not work for most of our stay, it was not such a big deal for us. I would highly recommend staying at Gabriela’s place when visiting Oaxaca.

What a wonderful home! This is my sixth time to Oaxaca, and I can honestly say this is the best accomodations to date. The home is beautiful and clean, with a perfect rooftop veranda for sipping coffee or cocktails. The location could not be better, with multiple coffee shops, bakeries, taco stands and cocktail lounges within a block or two. Just a moments walk to Santo Domingo, you can get anywhere in Oaxaca within ten minutes of Casa Bravo. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to visit again.

Location, location, location!!! This place is amazing. EVERYTHING is so close!! The center of town is blocks away. Restaurants blocks away. Coffee shops blocks away. 20 Novembre market blocks away. It was just perfect. The home was incredibly nice. Each bedroom has its own bathroom plus there is a separate bathroom in the common area. The bedrooms don’t have AC but there are fans provided in each bedroom. The upstairs patio was so nice. We had late nite tacos and tostadas up there one night with city lights surrounding us. Coffee in the mornings up there was so relaxing. The home is extra secure with locks on all doors and the front door is also very secure. The surrounding neighborhood is very safe. My daughter and sister law felt safe walking to their hotel up the street by themselves. I would recommend this place to anyone.

We loved staying at Casa Bravo! We were traveling with our two adult daughters and a friend. We had plenty of room, everything was clean and beautifully decorated. There is easy access to all the highlights in Oaxaca City. We spent our days exploring the city and small towns surrounding it, then rested in the courtyard, our rooms, the rooftop or the kitchen at Casa Bravo before heading out again for the evenings. Oaxaca City is also a delight; so many museums (most are free), shops with beautiful crafts and amazing food (both the restaurants and street food). Highly recommend!

Wonderful traditional-style house in El Centro of Oaxaca City. We loved the open air courtyard and amazing roof deck with views of surrounding mountains and downtown churches. Within walking distance of most of the city with many close by restaurants, cafes, bars and galleries (check out Salon De La Fama on the corner for some sweet dive bar action). Bathrooms are clean and modern with nice large rainfall showers. Only downside may be the quality of the mattresses. The bedrooms could also use some fans for air flow at night. Besides a couple small things Casa Bravo is a prefect location from which to experience all that Oaxaca has to offer & we would definitely stay here again when we return!

This is a perfect bnb for someone needing 2-3 bedrooms with separate bathrooms. The bedrooms are spacious and the kitchen is complete. There is so much great food within 1 block that we really did not use the kitchen that much. The bathrooms are also a good size and nicely designed. As mentioned in the other reviews, the rooftop deck is quite lovely with expansive views even though it really isn't that high. There is a nice seating area there. The neighborhood is quite secure and safe for walking at night. It is not noisy there. It is located 5 minutes walk from all the major areas of central Oaxaca and 10 minutes from the Zocalo plaza and also Xochimilcho a beautiful area and 15 from Jalatlaco another distinct neighborhood worth a visit. Bars and restaurants are all around. Gabriela is a very active and responsive host with lots of local suggestions. We enjoyed our stay very much and would return

Gabriela is a terrific host. Her property is a homage to the Mexican hacienda in the city. The rooftop and garden stole the show! There are subtle touches of lighting and architectural design that make this property special. The clay planters containing the gorgeous cacti and house plants exalt the ambience and infuse it with life. We were delighted to have filtered water during our stay! Thank you! There are some thoughtful appreciated touches like make up remover, beautiful lighting on the rooftop. A mid week clean was offered - very appreciated! We had a great time here. This is a noisy location exacerbated by the open architecture. We all had trouble sleeping. Bring ear plugs! Few suggestions from one host to another: 1. Clear the kitchen of mostly empty alcohol bottles. 2. 6 proper yoga mats for the max # of guests - rooftop is perfect for yoga!🧘‍♀️ 3. Hair conditioner in every bathroom. I don’t know any women who don’t need hair conditioner. We are at least 5

Host Response

Thank you for your suggestions! I will take them into account to improve my space, I appreciate it!

Clean, Gaby is very friendly. I'm going to explain it all. Flexible hours to get in and out. Three large rooms to girls. The girl with a small bathroom. A lot of noise is heard from the main room with the one next to it. Which can be uncomfortable as they seem to be inside the room talking with you. We went as a family and we didn't care but the mornings we had to talk very left and the nights also since we would have woken each other up.

Gabriel’s place was a lovely oasis for us. Wonderful to have so much outside space to enjoy right in the middle of the city. And the bedrooms and indoor spaces were very comfortable, as well. Even a n office with a desk to get a little work done. Perfect location for exploring the city. Not an extensive kitchen facility, but enough for frying up a couple of eggs or making some coffee, etc. We will definitely stay here again next visit if it is available.

This is one of the best Airbnb properties I have ever encountered in all of my travels. Gabriela (who is an architect and designer of this property) provided personalized attention from the moment we arrived providing every bit of information we needed about the property, Oaxaca, as well as activities and details of where to go around the city. She is a very conscientious host and made sure that the always had all of our needs met. The pictures of the property are exactly as depicted. It is an elegant colonial-style house with individual rooms (and keys) for all guests. It is located North of the Zocalo and only about 3 blocks from the corner of Allende and Alcala streets, a hub for all evening activities. Although you are so close to everything, all rooms are very tranquil and comfortable. Each room has with it's own internal (and elegant bathroom). The view of the rooftop terrace at night is outstanding. This is a very special Airbnb.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience… Gabriela was so helpful and attentive. My flight was delayed and bag missing and Gabriela was helpful and waited late to come show me how to get in the air Bnb. The pics of the roof upstairs don’t do justice of how beautiful, peaceful, comfortable it is up there. I felt very safe the whole time. All walking distance and near beautiful restaurants. 10/10. Bedrooms were cute and all had a bathroom- all felt very clean. I would totally stay here again.

Definitely my favorite Airbnb in Oaxaca! The house is in a perfect location, close to Santo Domingo, downtown, museums, shops and restaurants. The house is very spacious and each of the rooms has its own bathroom. The kitchen is large and has the essentials in case you need to cook. We only used the coffee maker. The patio and the upstairs terrace are perfect to enjoy at any time. Gabriela made us feel at home from the moment she welcomed us. Thank you for everything!

We loved staying at Gabriela's apartment! It was centrally located with tons to do within walking distance. The open air spaces including the downstairs patio and rooftop were lovely to spend time in. Gabriela was a fabulous host! She let us check in earlier than any host ever has as our flight arrived early in the morning. She also provided extensive recommendations for site seeing and places to eat. Gabriela helped coordinate transportation to sites outside of the city. Highly recommend her place!

We just spent a couple of days in Gabriela’s beautiful home. Everything was impeccably clean, the location was absolutely perfect and we can’t wait to go back. The views from the terrace were amazing and there are great shops and restaurants all within walking distance. The Zocalo is within walking distance as well and Santo Domingo church is so close. We loved walking around in the area and there is lots of art all around there. The entrance offers a nice seating area and the open space above you offers a great airy feeling. Overall, it was a great experience and we can’t wait to return.

Beautiful and spacious, this is the place you want to stay if you are planning on exploring the Centro. We enjoyed the peaceful spaces inside and the rooftop as a retreat from our many activities. Very safe and clean, nice kitchen and bathrooms and comfortable beds, everyone was very happy with our choice. Gabriela is the perfect host and checked in with us to make sure all was well and she was extremely accommodating. We’ll definitely be back to stay at Casa Bravo.

Casa Bravo is walking distance from excellent cafes and restaurants. The space is lovely and the deck very pleasant to spend time on, especially with our morning coffee and pastries from a nearby cafe. The kitchen is small and,without an oven, not suitable for preparing large meals, but we aimed our larger meal to delicious nearby Mexican restaurants anyways. Gabriela was pleasant and responsive to our needs. While I was inattentive when arriving at night and had my briefcase stolen, this was before arriving at 311 Caso Bravo,. Once there the property and neighborhood felt very safe. Thanks for a wonderful visit to your beautiful city Gabriella! Dan and Priscilla

Traveling with my wife and two teenagers, this was the perfect place to stay where we all had our own rooms with private bathrooms. The rooftop terrace is spectacular, and the location is walkable to everything in the city center. Gabriela is an excellent host who was very quick to respond to any question we had. This is the second time my family and I stayed here, and if we visit Oaxaca in the future, we would stay here again!

The location is very close to everything, and you can walk everywhere. The roof deck is amazing with views and comfortable seating and shade. However, the beds are very small (full size at most), the kitchen is more of a kitchenette in terms of amenities though it does have a table and chairs. And most importantly, there is no indoor living room, only a courtyard with a couple of outdoor seats. This mattered because the evenings were quite cold during the winter and we couldn't use the roof deck then so had nowhere to hang out after dark. Maybe during the warmer months this wouldn't be an issue? There is a couch in one of the bedrooms. TV's are tiny, so don't count on watching anything. However, you come to Oaxaca to be out in the city, and again the location for that is perfect, and you will love the roof deck, accessible by a spiral staircase.

Wow Gabriela's place was STUNNING. The location was perfect for exploring Central Oaxaca. It was peaceful and welcoming as well as being stylish and modern. All of the bedrooms were a good size, the beds were comfortable and the showers were great. The outside spaces were beautiful. Gabriela was very responsive when we had a small issue. She was very helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful stay.

A perfect Airbnb experience! The house was even more beautiful than advertised with an excellent location and very communicative hosts. Be sure to bring earplugs as all of the center of Oaxaca is quite loud — we were fine with the ones we brought. The view from the roof was amazing!

Gabriela is a warm, intelligent, and lovely host. The house is centrally located and newly refurbished. A real gem of a place to stay!

We LOVED our stay at Casa Bravo! The place itself is an oasis and the rooftop patio is amazing. We spent a lot of time just sitting up there and enjoying the view and the lovely morning and evening weather in Oaxaca. It was also a perfect location to walk to many wonderful restaurants and shops and sightseeing spots. Gabriela was also not only a wonderful host and responded promptly and expertly to any request we had regarding Casa Bravo, but she went above and beyond to help us coordinate and navigate a solution to a small travel/medical issue we unexpectedly encountered. I highly recommend a stay at Casa Bravo if you are planning a trip to Oaxaca!

This house was perfect for my family and I. Traveling with my wife and 2 teenagers we had plenty of space, the kids had their own rooms and bathrooms, and the location was in walking distance to everything we wanted to do locally (along with easy access to transportation to other things outside the city like Monte Albán). The rooftop terrace was a great starting and end point to each day as well. Great view to relax with a coffee or a beer break and take in the view of the Templo de Santo Domingo. The house provides a lot of shade so despite the heat outside we never felt too hot inside. Gabriela is a first class host, very responsive and helpful to us throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this place, and I would love to stay again next time I visit Oaxaca!

Great house within walking distance to all the top spots in El Centro of Oaxaca. The terrace is a highlight and has amazing views of Santo Domingo. Gabriella is a very responsive host and answered questions quickly. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Casa Bravo for anyone visiting Oaxaca.

I rarely write reviews, but in this case, there’s a true 5-star find. Gabriela was wonderful, and the house itself far exceeded our expectations. The rooftop and the open air courtyard were lovely additions to the comfortable, clean, and tastefully-styled rooms. The location was central but on a quieter street away from the bars. Despite some nearby construction during the day, we still managed to take our siesta. While I was at first hesitant to book given the price, I definitely think Gabriela’s is a nice, private alternative to some of the nicer hotels in town. I hope to be back.

What a gem we discovered in the heart of the Oaxaca historic district . Gabriella’s place is highly recommended. Modern, tastefully designed and decorated , and very close to everything. Way more attractive than the pictures! Gabriella deserves to be a Super Host!! She responded to our requests in short time and she truly tried to make out stay pleasurable. Thank you Gabriella. We highly recommend Casa Bravo and we would definitely go back.

The location of this home is ideal! It’s two blocks from Santo Domingo and some of the best restaurants and coffee shops in Oaxaca. The rooftop of this home also has some of the best views of the city at night or during the day. The house itself is very clean and it feels very secure. My family of six were able to enjoy a few nights at Gabriela’s wonderful home during our stay. Gabriela is also very attentive and quick to respond. Overall it was a great experience to stay here.

Gabriela is a gracious host. The location is perfect—a few blocks from the center of town, lively but not noisy. The home is beautiful, the decor is charming, and the rooftop patio is very special, particularly in the early evening. Gabriela was also very helpful when we needed recommendations and when we needed help getting a taxi to the airport (we are not Spanish speakers). We very much enjoyed our stay and will stay here again if we get the chance.
