We stayed at the Independence loft for two nights. Nelida wasn’t around when we were here but her son has been very friendly and helpful to us during our stay. He showed us around the house and helped us book the ATM cave tour (highly recommended).
The room itself was pretty and had a lot of breeze which basically compensates the fact that there is no a/c in the room. The bedroom and shared bathroom were clean. What was nice was that we could use the living room, kitchen and all appliances for free. They also have a water dispenser from which you can have purified water so you don’t have to drink from the tap.
The house is located about fifteen minutes walking to San Ignacio downtown. When returning, however, it is quite steeply uphill.
We have enjoyed our stay at the house a lot and recommend this place to others.
