This is a great central location in San Ignacio - on West St behind Eva's on Burns Ave. We felt very safe here. We were minutes (walking) from popular restaurants and tour companies. We knew there would't be air conditioning, but the fans made it bearable. The shower was nice and had lots of cold water. The freezer had plenty of ice trays. San Ignacio is a good place to stay if you plan to do tours/trips. We used Maya Walk for seeing the ATM cave (if you only do one thing in SI, do this!). We walked to Cahal Pech (it's all uphill!). We walked to the Hammock Bridge (about 5 miles round trip). It is a hub of commerce for the area and as such is a busy town. There are lots of great restaurants and the market is unforgettable. Things I wish I'd known before going to San Ignacio - it's hotter and louder than you'd think. I live in central Texas and it was the same weather, but without AC. The noise level reminded me of Bourbon St in New Orleans in the off season or Hell's Kitchen area in Manhattan. I don't think that Maritza's place has anything to do with this - it wouldn't matter where you stayed in San Ignacio, unless you are out in the countryside.
