Where to start? So many wonderful things to report.
We had hired a car in mexico city and Jorge (the owner) kindly arranged for us to be escorted from a prearranged location by the lovely Juan.
Parking near the property is a lottery, but once you know the protocols it is fine. Juan hoisted our largest suitcase onto his shoulder and made the 74 steps up the callejon look like a piece of cake! What a legend!
Walking into the casa is just wonderful, the house has obviously been sensitively styled and equipped with great care and consideration. Everything we needed was there and more! Bed huge & so comfy, sofa's the same. Great kitchen appliances, could go on & on really.
The roof terrace was so big, the pictures of the property don't do justice really. The views over the city are fantastic. There is a strong feeling of being in the heart of busy city, but also it felt private & restful too.
The neighbours must get a bit naffed off with a constant stream of visitors, you would never know though. The warmth and friendliness we were offered by them all felt real & congruent.
We loved the location of the casa, walking into the centre of town took about 15 mins but very interesting along the way. Lots to do, so many varying places to eat, great recommendations from Jorge. Went to see classical pianist one night, beautiful teatro juarez.
The underground tunnels are vast & intriguing, husband says next James bond should be filmed there! Great for car chases.
We were fortunate to have wheels as there are super places to visit, Cristo del Rey to name but one (make sure you're dentures are secure 7km cobblestone road). Leon for shoe outlet mall.
There are tours to take people who don't have cars, so all accessible.
I could go on & on, we've had the most wonderful experience. Husband had shingles throughout the holiday which was awful for him. Upside being anti viral drugs very reasonable!
A big thank you to Jorge and lovely Juan whose prompt responses to all our needs were gratefully appreciated.
By the way, don't expect people to be able to understand you if you have very little Spanish.
Liked best:
well appointed, clean & high quality furnishings. owner very responsive to queries & requests.
Liked least:
74 steps at 2500 m alt ( but always a good excuse for extra dessert!)

We are so glad that your stay with us, and your overall visit to Guanajuato was a very good one. Having a car definitely increases your range of things to see and do in this great city. The tunnels are definitely intriguing, and I still get lost in the maze sometimes. We are glad you got to see places like Teatro Juarez, and able to make it up to Cristo Rey. All this aside from experiencing the real Mexico, and its people first hand. Making the house as comfortable, and functional as possible was paramount before we started construction. We feel there is nothing worse than spending long days out on the town, and not having a comfortable place to come home too. We try to meet all our customers requests in a timely manner, and for that I am very grateful to Mr. Flores. Some guests call him Mr. Milagro as he gets things arranged, fixed, changed, very quickly. It was definitely a pleasure serving you, and thank you very much for taking the time to give us feedback with your outstanding review. You described to a tee what we hope for all future guests to experience when visiting this magical city, and staying in Casa De LaPaz. So from all of us associated with Casa De LaPaz we wish you safe and happy travels, and our Casa is Your Casa always.
All The Best
Jorge
