My family of 5 spent 3 weeks in Oaxaca city at Ricardo's apartment. The location couldn't have been better. We walked everywhere and despite being in the center, the street was lovely and quiet. Great restaurants, tortilla stands, coffee shops, lavandaria, and a lovely park were all just a few blocks away at the most. We walked and explored all over the town with this as our home spot. The apartment was exactly as it appears in the pictures. Ricardo was very responsive and even kindly added a bed to one of the rooms to accommodate our family's size. While the upstairs was loud at times, that's to be expected in an apartment but I do recommend if traveling with kids, bring some sort of white noise machine. Overall, I hope we can return at some point and I can't recommend this spot enough!
