lurdes was very accommodating, as i was late, although i stayed in touch to give updates as often as i could. the gentleman who received me was great, helping me with suggestions for where to go, patiently explaining the history of the area when broken spanish was our most common language. he had a lot of english. more importantly, the place is gorgeous. truly a classic residence, with high ceilings decorated with plaster work and fine furniture and woodwork. the stone tiled bathroom was beautiful. i slept late and left quickly, but i would recommend this place for extended stays, as the luxurious ambiance makes the time spent there a great experience; a beautiful way to start and end the day.
