About this property

This lovely house is located in a fabulous spot in beautiful downtown Oaxaca. Casa Crespo is within walking distance (5-10 min.) of the best attractions Oaxaca has to offer, including the historic Zócalo (central plaza), the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, the Santo Domingo Museum of Oaxacan Cultures, the Ethnobotanical Garden, the Carmen Bajo Church, the Carmen Alto Church and former Convent with its adjacent market, as well as many restaurants, cafes, museums, galleries, and shops.

Casa Crespo offers fast fiber internet (WiFi 6), perfect for those working remotely (strong mesh signal throughout the house, including the office, yard, balconies, and bedrooms). The beautiful, private office downstairs shows the original green "Cantera verde" quarry foundation, making it a perfect motif for your video conference background. Additionally, Casa Crespo has a local telephone number, and we provide unlimited long-distance calling to Canada and the US and an additional 50 other countries (please ask for a list)--share it with your family back home for extra peace of mind.

If you are planning to visit Oaxaca toward the end of July, Casa Crespo is the perfect spot for the Guelaguetza Festival, as it is just a few hundred feet from the stairway to the Cerro del Fortín, where the Lunes del Cerro celebration takes place (usually the last two Mondays of the month)!

You will be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful/functional kitchen in town. It can serve as an excellent complement for those attending one of the many Oaxacan cooking academies (well-stocked with everything you might need).

Regarding sleeping accommodations, the master bedroom has a king-size bed with a full bathroom and a beautiful balcony; the second and third bedrooms have a double and a single bed each, as well as private bathrooms.

The common areas are relaxing and well-kept. A laundry room is provided for your convenience. If you bring a car, you can rest easy knowing Casa Crespo has a secured garage with an automatic door.

Finally, Casa Crespo is in front of a bus route, which makes it convenient to get to from anywhere in the city.

In summary:
- Fast fiber, whole-house internet (WiFi 6) perfect for working remotely

Apartment with high end build-out

The apartment is spacious with a newer, very nice build-out. Each of the 3 bedrooms were quite comfortable with a balcony off the master (and the living room). The location was ideal for exploring the area and for easy, walkable access to desired restaurants. Gene was very responsive and offered great suggestions. Street noise was a bit of an issue but a worthwhile trade off given the excellent, close-in city location.

Well located close to Santo Domingo and El Zócalo, but far enough away to be a little quieter. Very close to many great restaurants, craft and food markets, etc. Check in was super easy and the host provided great suggestions for guides and drivers. The apartment is very well equipped with a beautiful kitchen. It had a 6 burner stove with oven, though no instructions on how to work the oven that is a format I had never seen. Great open space. There are 2 en suite bedrooms and another bedroom and full bath in the hall upstairs. Very large, nice TV room. Down the exterior stairs (located within the enclosed private courtyard) are the 4th full bath which doubles as the laundry room and the very nice office. Didn't use parking but it would have been very convenient - there's a garage door opener and the car pulls straight into the front with big metal doors that close behind it. Only suggestions would be to give instructions for operating the oven and provide a larger dish drainer.

Great stay & wonderful host

We had a great time staying at Jean’s property in Oaxaca! Location was great & we didn’t have to taxi once since it was close to town! House itself is clean and no issue! Highly recommend

Oaxaca family adventure

Outside of finding the place which is difficult as on a busy road and no one could quite get us to the address which Google maps did not get exactly right it was great. Clean, modern, comfortable good location to get to the old city. Great host. I'd go back....Steven

About the host

Hosted by Gene Hayes

I was born and raised in Oaxaca, so its food, culture, climate, and traditions are all part of me. I love that place with a passion!

After graduating from High School, I attended Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, USA, where I got a bachelor's degree in Economics with a minor in Mathematics. Later, I obtained a Master's degree in Business Administration from the Marriott School of Business, also at BYU.

I have traveled to over 60 countries and Oaxaca still has a very special place in my heart, and I hope that you will fall in love with it too!

Why they chose this property

My mother's deceased husband originally built this house for his mother so it has a very special place in our hearts. The house is in impeccable condition as it has been well-kept throughout the years and we consider it a true gem for those visiting Oaxaca!

What makes this property unique

As they say, location, location, location. Casa Crespo is situated in a great spot from which to explore downtown Oaxaca and all it has to offer. If you want to be in the middle of the action of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, then Casa Crespo is it! Nonetheless, the location would not matter if the property were not comfortable, safe, and charming, with all of the amenities which will make your visit one to remember. We believe Casa Crespo has it all! See you soon!
