If you want an immaculate, cozy, clean place with a beautiful view with salt of the earth people, then stay here. Nelida and her son are so generous, she let me use her phone because my What’s App wasn’t working, made coffee, and her son gave me a ride to the taxis to get to the border. It was such a pleasure to stay with them.
Just know that’s it’s a 15 minute hoof up the hill from downtown where all the shops and good places to eat are. I am a single woman and it was definitely uncomfortable walking back to the place in the dark. Not unsafe, just was stared at, yelled at, honked at, stuff that we’re unfortunately used to. As long as you stick to the daylight hours or take a taxi, it’s all good (of course).
Bring ear plugs (or noise-canceling headphones) because the neighborhood gangs of dogs get all riled up at night! I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat if I ever find myself in San Ignacio again.
