Garden Apartment La Presa in Guanajuato

Why settle for a cramped, dreary, overpriced hotel room with a sagging mattress, threadbare towels, and the shouts and screams from the next room filtering through the paper-thin walls? Our newly renovated two-room apartment is bright, quiet, spacious, and secure--and less expensive than a hotel room to boot.

Our apartment is situated on a quiet, private street, Privada de San Juan de Dios, in the Presa neighborhood of Guanajuato. It's a fifteen-minute walk from the center of town, and only five minutes from the popular Academía Falcón language school. Three of the best restaurants in town are less than ten minutes away.

A private entrance and a plant-lined patio lead to the apartment. The main room is the living/dining/kitchen area, with rustic Mexican furnishings, a garden view, and modern appliances. The bedroom is furnished with a brand-new double bed, a large closet, and a nightstand. The bathroom is finished with traditional Mexican ceramic tile.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner gas stove and oven, a refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee maker, dishes, pots and pans, and purified water. Wireless broadband Internet service is available at no extra charge if you have your own WiFi-equipped laptop. Off-street parking is available.

Your hosts live right next door. He's American, she's Mexican, and we're both bilingual. We're happy to offer tips on Guanajuato restaurants, language schools, and things to see and do around town.

The apartment is self-service. We supply fresh linens weekly. Smoking on the patio only, please.

Guanajuato is the ideal vacation spot for the visitor who wants to see the real Mexico. Though large enough to offer a wealth of museums, restaurants, and shopping, this historic colonial city is also small enough to be friendly and accessible to the first-time visitor. It's the perfect place to learn Spanish, too, either at the University of Guanajuato or at a number of independent language schools. The three-week International Cervantino Festival in October is the biggest and most important cultural festival in all of Latin America.
