This was one of the best Airbnb experiences for me.
HOST: In addition to being a very nice person with a positive life outlook, Nelida goes above and beyond to make everyone's stay comfortable. She helped to make arrangements for the ATM tour and shuttle services before and during my stay. She cut aloe leaves from her garden to help with the sunburns. At the same time she leaves you space when you feel like it. Nelida and her son Juan Carlos give you tons of excellent recommendations on the places to experience and local outlook.
LOCATION: The property sits on a gorgeous lot with lots of greenery. The guests have access to an open veranda with hammocks (amazing in the afternoon heat). It's in the residential neighborhood and there is some street noise in the late hours like dogs barking but it's just common in San Ignacio unless you're in the resort. It's located just 2 minutes away from the supermarket where you can find all you need. And about 10-12 minutes walk from the town centre or BZN 5 in a cab ride. It turned out to be a perfect location for me as town centre gets jammed with tourists while the location of Nelida's house allows you to be in close proximity to it but not in the middle of it.
PROPERTY: I've stayed in the lot and shared bathroom with another bedroom. The room was sparkling clean and had AC and a ceiling fan. The bathroom was exactly as in the pictures and clean too. Nelida also provides access to the kitchen, filtered water and washer (at small charge to cover electricity). I can't think of anything that may have made my stay more comfortable.
Overall, it felt like an authentic experience of Cayo region for me and I won't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who would like to explore this beautiful region.
