I want to thank Abdías for all his attentiveness. The house perfectly meets expectations. We took a week-long family trip to Oaxaca, and the stay really allowed us to enjoy our trip a lot, since it is a very good distance from shops, downtown, and local attractions. The house is in very good condition, optimally clean, with a very beautiful garden and a pool with an extremely pleasant temperature, which allowed the children to enter without any problem. We hope to come back soon!! By the way, also, thank you very much to Abdias's mother, a very nice person, very attentive and with nice touches for our family.

From the moment we saw the photos of the house, we knew it was a unique place to stay in Oaxaca, and when we arrived, we were all amazed. The area where the house is located is very quiet for relaxing and safe; the comfort of the house is excellent. We enjoyed all the areas, as we were traveling as a family, including our pet, and we loved every corner of it. Our host was always attentive, from the moment we asked for information about the house until our departure. We enjoyed a delicious Oaxacan breakfast; we felt very pampered and comfortable, like at home. 100% recommended, and when we return to Oaxaca, this will be our place to stay again.

My wife and I, our three kids, and my wife's parents recently stayed at Abdías's house in Oaxaca and it was truly fantastic. The house is even better than the pictures and the grounds are large. Even with seven people we all had privacy when we wanted. Abdías's mother welcomed us at check-in and came every day to check on us, tend the plants, and also release the Peacock (which my kids thought was truly magical!). She was such a sweet, non-intrusive presence. She made us breakfast with an assistant, Lucy, on our first morning and it was absolutely delicious. Abdías is without a doubt the most professionally communicative Airbnb host I've interacted with. He reached out early, provided recommendations, and helped us with taxis. He always responded quickly and thoughtfully. The house is in a quiet, beautiful suburb about a 15 minute drive to Oaxaca. While you can walk to a beautiful nearby hotel, you'll need a taxi or a car to get downtown. 11 out of 10, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wonderful stay. It exceeded my expectations, I definitely recommend it and would happily book again. Hot water, excellent water pressure in the showers, good quality complimentary amenities. Comfortable beds, clean sheets, enough towels available in the bathrooms, and for the pool. Impeccable kitchen as well as utensils and dishes. Relaxing and safe atmosphere that allowed an excellent quality of sleep.

The neighborhood felt very safe. The house was exactly as advertised-very clean, blackout curtains great for sleeping in, great water pressure. It was very spacious and my children loved the swimming pool which was very temperate. We really felt the outdoor space was paradise with the hammocks, the fish pond, and Kevin the peacock. One can really relax on days where no excursions are planned. We had no problems getting to our excursions and were picked up from the house directly by Didi (uber equivalent) or the tour companies. Abdías’ mother was incredibly nice, helpful and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this property to people with families looking to relax.

What a lovely house. We felt like at true Oaxaca home. They even let us do an early check in. Also coffee and hot chocolate preparations were a nice touch of warmth. The host was a real gentleman as well. Highly recommend it and absolutely will stay again if we come back.
