Dream Penthouse Apartment

IF YOUR DATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS APARTMENT, CHECK THE SISTER UNIT WITH BASICALLY THE IDENTICAL FLOOR PLAN IN THE SAME BUILDING LISTED AS THE STUNNING CITY VIEW APARTMENT VRBO LISTING 1024063 . IT IS ONE FLOOR BELOW THIS APARTMENT.

A beautiful apartment in downtown Oaxaca. You are walking distance to the zocalo (town square) where shops, museums and restaurants are plentiful and varied. You'll be tempted to spend more time than you should sipping margaritas on your city view terrace with the world famous Monte Alban in the background. The neighborhood is eclectic in nature with the full spectrum of Oaxacan life from a multi Grammy award winning singer to Triquis Indians in traditional huts all represented in a safe, friendly family atmosphere. There are 2 extremely economical Fluff n Folds within a block of the apartment for laundry needs.

There is a full time Guests' Assistant onsite to quickly answer questions or help with any arrangement you may want.

Prior to your arrival the apartment is cleaned and sanitized to covid protocols. The apartment includes cleaning accessories (broom, dust pan, mop and bucket and various sanitizing agents) for your use during your stay. If cleaning sounds like a bad idea while on vacation, a full cleaning can be arrange as many times a week as you like for a charge of 350 pesos each visit (ABOUT $17 A VISIT).

Come and see us. We think you'll love the place.

Outstanding view, very nice apartment
The apartment itself is terrific, nicest place I've stayed in Latin America. Roomy rooms, clean functional bathrooms and kitchen. The open air windows provide loads of fresh air and follow the common situation in Latin America of plenty of noise. The roof-top view and gardens are a wonderful escape from the heat (90s in March this year but we hear this is unusual.) The biggest asset of the place is the taxi driver they recommend - Lionel Lopez and his fleet of punctual, dependable, highly skilled, and personable drivers.

Another wonderful stay at the apartment
We had another wonderful month at the apartment. We have stayed now four times at both of Anthony's apartments and we enjoy them both. Comfy bedrooms, nicely apportioned kitchen and of course wonderful views of the mountains. It is a bit of a hike up from el centro, but well worth it. We are already planning our next winter trip!

It really is!
We absolutely loved this apartment. It is bright, spacious, and airy, and we never tired of the view. Your cheerful hosts, Anthony, his wife Sandra, and their lovely and charming daughter Emily (who is like having your personal concierge) couldn't have been better. They helped us with everything we needed during our stay, including arranging for a taxi for our 5:00 AM departure. The kitchen is very well supplied with everything you could want - even a multitude of covered containers for storing your cut fruit, leftovers, and anything else you have. The beds (all three) are very comfortable. The two main bedrooms are large and well-appointed, with plenty of storage for your things. The third is a few steps away from the door which leads up to the lovely roof terrace and covered outdoor patio, where you can sip a cold beer and enjoy the view. When you're in Oaxaca, you are definitely going to want to be venturing out! This city is alive with culture and celebration, especially on the weekends. The church of Santo Domingo de Guzman, and the Zocalo downtown, were both a 20-minute walk by different routes for my wife and I (both in our mid to late 70's); younger folks will make it in less time than that. One word of caution - this is a penthouse, and that means steps, lots of them. If steps are a problem for you, this is probably not the place you want. Otherwise, it can't be beat!

February in Oaxaca
We have stayed in this apartment twice, and have rented it again for February. Love the location which is more neighborhood than tourist with panoramic view over the city. It works beautifully for 3 couples with space to work, hangout, and gather together or in pairs. Great small family restaurants, plus Humito up the street. Had a brief issue with a water pump, and the owner was most helpful.

Fabulous place to stay
We had 16 nights in this beautiful place. Magnificent views, amazing sunsets from the rooftop terazzo. Two wonderful bedrooms with bath...one with an extra room with twin bed. Third bedroom in back is very basic. But the space is large, comfortable beautiful. We had 5 and8 year old kids with us, they loved it too Kitchen is great thought we didn't cook much. Wonderful restaurant, Humito, nearby and some delicious pop up food too. Lots of tends for basics. 20 minute walk to zocalo downhill We had two families join us one at a time and everyone loved it!

Great to return for the third time to Panoramica!
Three years ago, we stayed a month in the downstairs unit and we spent a month in the upstairs unit for the second time! We really enjoyed both apartments! We are already booked for next year. We love it. Sam was very responsive to our needs. From our perspective, the apartment is the perfect distance from the tourist area -- a solid and safe and friendly working class Mexican neighborhood. Some renters might find the hike uphill a bit demanding, but we thought it was fine. Great market at the bottom of the hill. Very comfortable and generous living spaces and bedrooms, nicely stocked kitchen, fine bathrooms. The third ancillary bedroom as reported by other reviewers needs attention. The upstairs terrace is absolutely wonderful; we spent a lot of time in the outdoor space, both day and evenings. All in all, a great stay in a very nice place in Oaxaca.Thank you Anthony and thank you Sam. See you again next winter!

Panoramic View
First and foremost, the view was worth its weight in gold!! The house was big, lots of space. If you don’t mind walking it is a straight walk down to St. Domingo church ten minutes Downhill, the walk back will have an uphill grade. Make a right and your five minutes from Zócalo, and in between lots of nice restaurants, mezcal, and things to see. If you want to just enjoy your view or want something to eat very close just a walk about te houses down is the famous Artist Lila Downs restaurant Humitos and home. Great food breakfast and dinner, live music not loud! Incredible service, a must while you stay at the house. Sam was a great help with anything we needed and at any time day or night. Will definitely come by with bigger group of friends. If I had to say anything negative it would be that it does need just a little bit of tender loving care, not a show stopper by any means!,!,!

Fabulous in great location!!
This is an amazing apartment, spacious with breathtaking, panoramic views (even better from the private rooftop patio and gazebo) in a really excellent location, only about 10 to 15 minute walk from the centro. The owner and property manager Sam are wonderful, communicative, helpful. The beds are excellent, the shower is excellent. I would absolutely recommend to friends and family and absolutely stay here again! Fantastic!!

Lovely house, amazing view
I stayed in Casa de Emily with my wife, son, and parents for a month over the new year. What a great place for a family gathering! I can confirm the comments made by previous reviewers. It is a bit of a walk to the center of town, but it’s interesting, and easy to get a taxi back if needed. The house is spacious with lots of privacy between the rooms and comfortable common spaces. The rooftop deck is amazing. What a place to experience Oaxaca from! I will recommend Casa de Emily to my friends and enjoy the memories of the time we spent there.
