Casa Carmen

5 Pamela Navar - 4 months ago

I can say one of my best experiences renting in Mexico ( I am Mexican and not few experiences), It has all the details it needs to make you feel cozy, comfortable, safe and in a great location.
The rooms are independent and at the same time all integrated on common areas, We rent the 4 rooms so used it as a big house, each room has all you need, a great bathroom and great beds which I am picky with.
you have a kitchen to cook a full meal or a simple breakfast, and they do cooking and degustation classes as well some days.
They have someone as front office 24x7, and always willing to help.
The administration, and rental process, super friendly.
Don't think about it, will not find anything else as good for what they charge!!!

Nice hotel / house. Great and friendly staff. Room was amazing (!). Nice other guests too. Could have stayed here longer than one night for sure.

Only remark: in our room (#3 with the bath) we heard the kitchen very very well which was a bit annoying.

What a house, what rooms. Maybe the most inspiring place I've seen in terms of wanting to build your own home. Rodrigo has the architectural ideas, and Hileana or both of them keep finding ways to make the interior an enormous pleasure on the eyes. Geniuses. Everything seems to playfully fit, colours, forms, sizes. Space is created, filled but not occupied, in the most tasteful way. There are many delightful timber furniture pieces and they currently still impart such a great smell to the relatively new house. The big theme of the house is being inside and outside at the same time. One part of the house is open to the sky, and additionally there are multiple skylights. On the first day, I had to look up at one point to actually know if I was currently inside or outside, they've realised this so well. It's an absolutely audacious concept, especially since there can apparently be quite a bit of rainfall in San Cristóbal. In the cold months, this may also lead to the air feeling a bit chilly for sure, but there are plenty of cozy blankets around.

A bit of a shame the piano was not in working order. It was mainly one key which was really bad, but the whole piano needs a professional to tune it (and will probably keep needing to be tuned, in a house of changeable climate). The piano was one of the main motivational factors (apart from great reviews) which made me spend a bit over my normal budget. Not really being able to play it was a small disappointment.

I've had the privilege to meet Hileana and Rodrigo, and they are inspirational people as you would expect from the house, intelligent, multinational, great drive, business acumen, innovative, all while being parents to (three I think) kids as well.

The area feels very safe, it's perfectly situated just a few meters from the entrance to the busiest tourist street, but in a dead end so there is no traffic, and far enough removed from the bustle so there is very little noise.

They mentioned that they will also soon offer Mexican cooking classes, and the setup for it looks already felicitous.

It's a feast for the senses. I highly recommend you go there. Even if you have little to no affinity for design or architecture, I'm pretty sure it's hard to escape the charm of Casa Carmen.

(Translated by Google) super cute
very very very comfortable
The water is always hot
One block from the tourist boulevard
super rich beds
No noise from outside
The street where it is located is super quiet
Mega recommended to go with your partner, because in the bathroom that I had, the partition of the shower was made of glass.
Everything perfect, I loved it

Las camas super ricas
No se escucha nada de ruido de afuera
La calle donde se encuentra es súper tranquila
Mega recomendado para ir con tu pareja, porque en el baño que me tocó, la división de la regadera era de vidrio.
Todo perfecto, me encantó

(Translated by Google) One of the best places we've been. We stayed there for 5 nights and it was perfect! The service was excellent, there is always someone there, there is an emphasis on the small details, the shower is fun and there is boiling water! Cleanliness at a high level, towels were changed every day and the room was cleaned. The common area is equipped down to the smallest detail. The location is great, really close to everything and not noisy. We had a lot of fun!

אחד המקומות הכי טובים שהיינו בהם. שהינו שם 5 לילות והיה מושלם! השירות היה מעולה, תמיד יש שם מישהו, יש דגש על הפרטים הקטנים, המקלחת כיפית ויש מים רותחים! ניקיון ברמה גבוהה, כל יום החליפו לנו מגבות וניקו את החדר. האזור המשותף מאובזר עד לפרט הכי קטן. המיקום נהדר, ממש קרוב להכל ולא רועש. נהננו מאוד!

(Translated by Google) Best night of my trip, it was a little cold and rainy the first day, I was able to take a bath with the candles, light a wood fire, relax with a view of the steps of the church

Meilleur nuit de mon voyage, il faisait un peu froid et il pleuvait le premier jour, j ai pu prendre un bain avec les bougies, allumer un feu de bois, me relaxer avec vue sur les marches de l eglise
