Arturo and Maria were very generous and accommodating. They welcomed us into their home.

They fed us a hearty breakfast each day. Abundant fresh, locally grown fruit preceded a complete breakfast. The latter varied, but generally included meat, eggs cooked to order, and homemade delicacies.

The description in the Airbnb profile was unclear about the space, but the private accommodations included a very large bedroom and private bath. Our hosts also welcomed us into shared space in their home.

The accommodation was in the middle of all the action, which made it easy to access life in the city and also Mayan sites. Maps and directions were provided by the hosts.

The accommodation was noisy for those of us from rural areas. Most of the noise came from the neighborhood, and was associated with the holidays.

How good were these hosts? Two experiences are exemplary:

1. They provided their personal cellular telephone when we left their home for the day. If we had encountered difficulties, we would have been able to call for help.

2. When I shattered a tooth, they took me to his sister's office less than 50 feet away. She's a dentist, and she fixed the tooth promptly and at lower cost than any dentistry I've ever had performed.
