This spectacular home sets a high bar for all other properties to follow. Take a beautifully designed home, add 147 potted plants (Yes, I counted) and you wind up with a visually stunning and deeply calming space. Add a fully stocked fridge; Add Marisela the house attendant who was wonderful, as was all of her food and our stay was truly unforgettable. Not sure what I enjoyed more… coffee & yoga on the roof top every morning… or the Mezcal tastings in the basement speakeasy every evening.

This Airbnb was probably the most impressive property I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve been in a lot of Airbnb’s. Everything from the architecture and design to the personal touches- soaps, amazing snacks prepared by Mari, laundry, etc. I cannot wait to come back here again! It was hard to leave! Very walkable and we enjoyed the patios and garden spaces every day. Kitchen was a dream and beds were super comfortable!

Fernando's home is truly remarkable. The photos really do not do it justice, and we're so grateful we had the chance to stay here. The kitchen was perfect for group gathering in the mornings before heading out to so many walkable destinations. The bedrooms were so clean and comfortable, and each bathroom was pristine. The real star is obviously the mezcal cellar behind the hidden door! Such a fun aspect of the home and also a great spot to lounge with a large group. We were a group of 6 friends and all felt like we had plenty of space. Thank you again and we would love to come back!!

Absolutely beautiful house. The photos don’t even do it justice, it’s even bigger and more stunning in person. Peaceful atmosphere and so much vibe in all the little decorative touches. This is a dream home, no questions about it, and spending a long weekend there left us rejuvenated and at peace with the world. I cannot recommend it enough!

The property is truly exceptional, boasting a fantastic location. Just a short walk from Santo Domingo, it’s surrounded by charming local eateries that make exploring the area a delight. Fernando was always one step ahead, ensuring a smooth check-in and providing thoughtful recommendations throughout our stay. Marisela prepared a delicious breakfast every morning and shared valuable local tips that made our experience even better. Alcalá 226 is worth every penny—we would absolutely return without hesitation.
