Eugenia's place is a wonderful centrally located place to stay! Many places claim they are "close" to the center and fall short. Casa de Barro was far enough to be quiet and yet just a few blocks away to be near Frida's house or the fantastic mercado. If we didn't feel like walking farther...there were two very good places (almost next door) with a "local feel" to enjoy a coffee and pastry or a delicious, healthy meal. The kitchen has a full sized fridge and is well supplied with what you might need to make a meal for a family. My husband depends on a blender for his special diet and the presence of a blender was a big help. We also appreciated the special filtered watered. I'm Mexican American and I love staying at places that integrate Mexican Folk Art, Antiques and modern conveniences! I loved the beautiful books on Mexican Art, gardens, cooking and history that she made available in her common spaces. I meditated and found calm in the outdoor chairs where I viewed her many happy plants. My husband and I have had back problems and appreciated that the bed was firm and comfortable. Best of all was Eugenia's presence! She most definitely earns the "super host " title. We had several special needs. She stepped in a number of ways and was very knowledgeable and helpful. I hope to return with a group of friends who like me, will delight in the enchanting environment Eugenia has created.
