    Bathroom is small but adequate. You will hear the early morning church bells every where in town.

    Comfy bed, awesome air-conditioning in bedroom. We had the 2 bedroom apartment as that's what was available when we booked. No breakfast but full kitchen and walking distance to open air market and shops. We enjoyed the patio outside the room, too. We agree with another poster who mentioned it's a bit odd. However, it's a great budget place to stay. Great views of town from bar on upper floor. Owner allowed luggage storage as we did an overnight in Tikal and then returned to San Ignacio for another night.

    Very big room with an excellent kitchen and a cozy outdoor patio. The location is excellent, just off Burns Avenue towards the hills. You can walk to the city center in 3 mins to one direction and to Iguana sanctuary/Maya choco experience to the other direction about the same time. Extremely welcoming owner with good tips around town. They have a Marie Sharp's hot sauce shop and a chill lounge bar upstairs. They also provide cooking classes. Decent internet, 10.81MB/s down, 21.07MB/s up with 73ms latency.

    The shower and bathroom area could use a little fresh caulking but otherwise the entire room and area was perfect for our visit! If we had stayed longer than 2 nights it would have been even better!

    The owner was so sweet and took such good care of us. She recommended restaurants when we got in about 10pm, called up taxis for us, recommended places to go or how to get across the Guatemala border. She was amazing! I felt like our family had an angel looking for us!

    The building was on a hill so the room only had two small windows that felt like basement windows. And there were big ice machines outside of the window that were pretty noisy. That being said, there was a rooftop patio and a nice swing chair on the room level, so easy options for getting natural light.

    Good size room and bathroom with comfortable beds. The host was extremely nice and helpful!

    Internet connectivity was sometimes spotty with a weak signal.

    Nice location away from the busy and trafficked portions of town yet close enough to be accessible. The two bedroom apartment was clean, quite, and well furnished, the kitchen in particular, which was welcomed since we regularly cooked our meals there. The owner's mother and brother were very friendly and welcoming, creating a nice and warm "family feeling" to the place. Having a beer in the bar on the top deck was a pleasant way to end the day.

    Could do with a few more cutlery knives

    This property is centrally located and only a few minutes walk from the main street of San Ignacio. There is parking on site. San Ignacio is a great base for arranging tours to ATM cave, Caracol and Xunantunich. Cahal Pech and Green Iguana Conservation Project is within walking distance of the property.  The apartment is very clean and has decent size rooms with air conditioning and fans. There is also a well stocked kitchen with a coffee maker, kettle, oven and a microwave.  Charlene- the host lives upstairs of the building. She is very friendly, approachable and happy to help with any questions or requests. Thank you Charlene for your great hospitality. You made our visit to San Ignacio very special and welcoming. There is also a charming little rooftop bar on the top floor of the building with swings and a great view. It is a great place to hang out in the evening with a beer. The bar also runs a Marie Sharp chilli sauce and jam tasting experience, which we really enjoyed and also great value for money.  We spent very enjoyable seven nights at this property and can highly recommend this place to anyone visiting San Ignacio.
