It was a beautiful house and the host is very nice, breakfast was very tasty. But we had pretty scary moments starting from at the airport, as the taxi drivers said this Bonfil neighborhood was sketchy and not safe. Then when we arrived we didn't see the owner, thankfully someone happened to be there and got us in. We stayed there for more than 2 hours all by ourselves, no other guests or communication from the owner. We set up the whatsapp to communicate with the owners, but none replied. The 2 hours was very hard to pass, as there was no AC, pretty hot, no one in the house, and didn't know whether the owner would come back, and didn't know when should we call police to get us out of there. All neighbors has high wall and iron gates the type you can see nothing through.
However, if we knew Carmen, a very sweet lady, will be back before dark, we will have a totally different experience. When she came back, she apologized, fixed our room with AC immediately, though the room was quite small, it was sufficient for the two of us ladies for one night. Good shower, though it was an old bathroom. The room has netflix. She even took us with her shopping, and we got some tasty pastry.
The house is uniquely designed, Coba room is great. But common area was dusty. That was why we were scared at first, feeling this place was abandoned. The printer/fax machine in the reception area has dusk on. If you have a rental car, know what to expect, this might be a good fit.
