Rustic wooden tables, lush plants, and dried lavender add natural elements while balancing the home’s artistic design.

Our stay was really special. From our arrival, Liliana welcomed us very warmly with a delicious traditional meal that made us feel right at home. Their house is a true art gallery: each space has unique details and tells a story. The garden, full of plants native to Oaxaca, is beautiful, and the terrace is very cozy, perfect for relaxing and enjoying. The location is also excellent, in a nice and pleasant area, surrounded by restaurants and coffee shops. In addition, Liliana helped us organize two incredible tours: the Crafts Route and the Mezcal Route, experiences that allowed us to learn much more about the culture, traditions and essence of Oaxaca. We also highly recommend the agency that handled our tours; the service was excellent and we enjoyed both tours very much. You can see Liliana's affection and dedication in every detail. We definitely highly recommend staying here. We would love to come back soon!!

We had a great stay at Liliana’s place! The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our group of 9 had more than enough space to spread out and also spend time together. I had to work while there, and the WiFi was excellent! The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Oaxaca on foot- everything is so close, yet it’s outside the busiest part of the city. Finally, Liliana was a great host- she helped is with transportation, and met us with a delicious meal. Highly recommend!

Liliana's house is very nice. It lives up to Oaxaca with every detail she has chosen to make guests feel comfortable. The beds are very comfortable, the bedrooms are spacious and have details that are not found in other houses, as do the bathrooms, the kitchen, etc. Liliana is super friendly, always attentive to any questions, and the icing on the cake is the super welcome they gave us, a typical Oaxacan meal with delicious fresh water. Anyway, Liliana makes a difference and I highly recommend Casa Étnica!

By far, this has been the best Airbnb place I've ever stayed at. The house is beautiful, it was clean, and it was even better than the photos. Liliana was extremely friendly, always available for anything we needed, and provided more than we expected. She is a warm and very friendly person. We had a wonderful experience at his place; I would definitely stay there again.

Liliana is simply the best! Her communication was great and she is quick to respond. She made restaurant, taxi and excursion reservations for us. She and her staff provided us with a traditional Oaxaca meal at no charge. The location was perfect- a short walk to many restaurants, bakeries and shops. We loved the interior courtyard that Opened up to many rooms as well as the fabulous rooftop patio.

We were in Oaxaca for a wedding and traveled with a small group and a 1 year old. Liliana was great to work with from the start. Even before arriving she helped me find a hospital that would be equipped to handle my 1 year old’s medical condition if something were to happen while we were in Oaxaca. She had a meal cooked for us and went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter and made her her own meal as well. She checked in with us frequently and was the most helpful host I’ve ever stayed with. The house itself is beautiful— and you could tell she put a ton of thought and love into the place. I would absolutely stay here again if we come back to Oaxaca.

This is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Liliana was a most gracious host. Very responsive and went over and above to accommodate us. She helped us with laundry, provided a crib (with a book and wipes and diapers!) for our daughter, helped us organize a babysitter and chef, and so much more. The house is gorgeous. Super clean. Comfortable beds. Incredibly walkable. She has thought of every detail. My only regret is not staying longer. The pictures do not do this place justice. If you are hesitating - book it! The house and host are what airbnb was founded on. Thank you for a wonderful week in Oaxaca!

Liliana was the best! She greeted us with Tyludas and they were delicious! We stayed here for our wedding and it was the perfect house and spacious for us to be together but also enough space for privacy. The house is beautifully decorated! I had my closest friends and family get ready with me the morning of the wedding, and the dual kitchens is a plus! It’s so beautiful I took my bridal shots in the patio. The WiFi went out one day and Liliana came in asap to fix the issue. I would 1000% stay here over and over again!
