Martin's place was in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, a very short walk from Cahal Pech, a convenience store, a car rental company and gas station, and bus stops to Xunantunich and Belize City. It is also a 15-20 minute walk from the downtown area where all the restaurants are, and the San Ignacio Market where you can get lots of fresh produce and other crafts, so overall the location was great! We didn't want to walk in the morning to get breakfast so we opted to cook our breakfasts and his kitchen was well equipped for that.
Martin himself was extremely helpful in giving tips and recommendations for activities and places and was great with communication, responding really quickly to my many messages. The only thing was that the were some very very minor bugs but that was to be expected in this area and did not bother us. The entire stay was a great value!!
