Nice looking apartment (with a good view over the sprawling town from rooftop terrace), good sized apartment (length & width, but not height), good wifi, host replies relatively quickly via booking com chat, private kitchen is relatively well stocked (but could modernise the pots/pans) & oil is supplied which is nice, Disney streaming on the TV, drinking water supplied, host emptied rubbish bin & supplied extra toilet paper after I asked (but it took all day because no one else was around).

Hot water lasted maybe 4 minutes in the shower, long enough to wash my short hair, but I continued to wash the rest of myself with a cold shower- the hot water did not return, no hot water to wash dishes in the kitchen either, there are 2 solid concrete beams supporting the ceiling, but are very low- if you are tall be very careful because I thought I was careful but still hit my head several times & once gave myself a good lump! Loud music late Saturday night.

Basement unit of kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. US$5 taxi from ADO bus station, 10 minutes walk from large supermarket, 15 to 20 minutes walk to historical centre. Key access to main building, separate key to own unit. No English spoken but excellent communication by WhatsApp. Very clean. Quiet. Payment by booking.com. Good wifi/internet/network in bedroom, but not always good in kitchen/dining area. Small kitchen, 2 ring gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee maker, juicer. Adequate pots, pans, crockery, and cutlery for cooking a decent meal. Drinking water. Bin. Dining area with table and chairs. Access to large rooftop terrace with plenty of seating. Also, clothes lines for drying. Good size bedroom, decent sized, comfortable double bed, settee, lots of storage options. Mobile, upright air cooler. Flat screen TV with streaming (eg Netflix). Bin. Small bathroom, hot shower, plug in sink!

No visible signs of recycling. Wifi/internet/network tended to drop in the kitchen/dining area in the evening for short periods, not sure why. Not enough bin bags provided (but I'm sure if we asked the owner would get us some). No light switch near bed, nor bedside units (though shelves on one side). Could do with more powerpoints. Hot water failed on the last morning (owner notified and said he would come and fix it, so hopefully fine by now). We don't understand why the boiler is not always set to hot, often other units would change it to cold before we'd had a chance to finish our showers!

Comfortable, clean, private

Not long enough in Oaxaca
