Fast WiFi, Amazing Kitchen, Views, & Private Office/Yard In the Heart of Oaxaca

This lovely house is in a fabulous spot in beautiful downtown Oaxaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/415). Casa Crespo is within walking distance (5-10 min.) of the best attractions Oaxaca has to offer, including the historic Zócalo (central plaza), the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, the Santo Domingo Museum of Oaxacan Cultures, the Ethnobotanical Garden, the Carmen Bajo Church, the Carmen Alto Church and former Convent with its adjacent market, as well as many restaurants, cafes, museums, galleries, and shops.

Casa Crespo offers fast fiber internet (WiFi 6), perfect for those working remotely (strong mesh signal throughout the house, including the office, yard, balconies, and bedrooms). The beautiful private office downstairs shows the original green "Cantera Verde" quarry foundation, making it a perfect motif for your video conference background. Additionally, Casa Crespo has a local telephone number, and we provide unlimited long-distance calling to Canada and the US and an additional 50 other countries (please ask for a list)--share it with your family back home for extra peace of mind.

If you are planning to visit Oaxaca toward the end of July, Casa Crespo is the perfect spot for the Guelaguetza Festival, as it is just a few hundred feet from the stairway to the Cerro del Fortín, where the Lunes del Cerro celebration takes place (usually the last two Mondays of the month)!

You will be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful/functional kitchen in town. It can be an excellent complement for those attending one of the many Oaxacan cooking academies (it is well-stocked with everything you might need).

Regarding sleeping accommodations, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, a full bathroom, and a beautiful balcony; the second and third bedrooms each have a double and a single bed and private bathrooms.

The common areas are relaxing and well-kept. A laundry room is provided for your convenience. If you bring a car, you can rest easy knowing Casa Crespo has a secured garage with an automatic door.

Finally, Casa Crespo is in front of a bus route, which makes it convenient to get to from anywhere in the city.

In summary:
- Fast fiber, whole-house internet (WiFi 6) perfect for working remotely
- Private, beautiful office (ideal for those working remotely)
- Comfortably sleeps six (6) adults
- Located in a perfect spot downtown
- Four (4) blocks from the famous church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán
- Six (6) blocks from the Basilica La Soledad
- Beautiful/unbeatable terrace views (from the master bedroom, the kitchen/dining area, and the living room)!
- Includes Smart TVs with access to Claro Video, Paramount+, and Samsung Plus
- Local telephone with unlimited long-distance (see details above)
- Equipped with an electric fence with alarm and security cameras
- Only 20 minutes from the Oaxaca International Airport (OAX)
- One complete cleaning per week is included with a weekly rental

Come and experience Oaxacan hospitality at its best!

Exceptional Home in Oaxaca
My husband and I recently stayed at Casa Crespo in Oaxaca with a group of family for Dia de los Muertos and it was an exceptional experience! The property is beautiful, spacious, and comfortably accommodates up to eight guests. It is centrally located, making it easy to explore all that Oaxaca has to offer. The listing description was accurate, and the house exceeded our expectations. It is very well appointed. The check-in and check-out instructions were clear and straightforward, which made the process seamless. Our host, Gene, was fantastic — he was responsive, attentive, and made sure all of our questions were promptly addressed. One of the highlights was the stunning view of the Santo Domingo Cathedral from the property, which truly added to the charm. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Casa Crespo and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oaxaca. We’ll definitely be returning for another stay! Five star experience!

Perfecto!
Exactly as advertised and even better in person. Clean, comfortable, and modern. Within 10 minutes of walking distance to all the attractions and city center, and in a safe location. Loved sitting on back balcony watching the city lights and listening to the sounds of the city around us. We barely used the property except at night - and relished the great showers and cool a/c that we could turn on for a good nights sleep with lovely linens on each bed. Felt a little guilty having such modern amenities but it really helped us have a comfortable first-time international adventure with our teenagers! And Gene was such a helpful host! We will be back! Oaxaca is one-of-a-kind!

Excellent house (pretty, good taste and functional)
Everything was excellent. The Casa Crespo is a beautiful, comfortable, clean, functional house. It’s spacious. I love the clean airy feeling, being able to open doors and windows, having so much space to sit outside, being able to ser the exconvento in the background. I also loved how everything works so well. And the communication with owner was excellent, very responsive and helpful. We had no issues, problems or any complaints. I would come back here, no doubt.

Apartment with high end build-out
The apartment is spacious with a newer, very nice build-out. Each of the 3 bedrooms were quite comfortable with a balcony off the master (and the living room). The location was ideal for exploring the area and for easy, walkable access to desired restaurants. Gene was very responsive and offered great suggestions. Street noise was a bit of an issue but a worthwhile trade off given the excellent, close-in city location.

Well located close to Santo Domingo and El Zócalo, but far enough away to be a little quieter. Very close to many great restaurants, craft and food markets, etc. Check in was super easy and the host provided great suggestions for guides and drivers. The apartment is very well equipped with a beautiful kitchen. It had a 6 burner stove with oven, though no instructions on how to work the oven that is a format I had never seen. Great open space. There are 2 en suite bedrooms and another bedroom and full bath in the hall upstairs. Very large, nice TV room. Down the exterior stairs (located within the enclosed private courtyard) are the 4th full bath which doubles as the laundry room and the very nice office. Didn't use parking but it would have been very convenient - there's a garage door opener and the car pulls straight into the front with big metal doors that close behind it. Only suggestions would be to give instructions for operating the oven and provide a larger dish drainer.

My friends and I experienced the best rental ever (and we travel a lot). The house was spotless, roomy, quiet and furnished beautifully. We felt safe , close to central but some distance from the nightlife noise. Our Host was amazing, very detailed and very responsive when we asked questions. You will not find a better rental so we highly recommend this beautiful house. We definitely will be back!

Awesome place to stay at. The home was nice and very up to date. It has AC in the bedrooms. The house has great views of the cathedral from the balcony. A nice seating area in the back patio. The house has easy access to taxi cabs, metro buses, and within walking distance to the town square, market, and the Gueglaguetza auditorium. There is a coffee shop (Grillo Café) a couple minutes from the house with some great coffee. The house has wifi to keep you connected. A space for a car. The bathrooms are great and the showers have excellent water pressure. Check in and out is easy. Gene, the host is very accessible and very responsive. All in all, an excellent place to stay. Would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to explore Oaxaca.

Multigenerational stay in Oaxaca
Two grandparents, two parents and two teenagers for a week in Oaxaca. Home is as advertised with three bedrooms and beds for eight people. Three bathrooms upstairs and one downstairs in laundry room. About 4 blocks to the centro area and a nice view of the cathedral from the balcony. There is an AC unit in each bedroom. It was usually hot when we were there and we did have some difficulty with the master bedroom AC unit. Gene, our host, was quick to respond and told us how to reset the circuit breaker. Very roomy home with great kitchen. Also has private space for a car which we didn't use. Next to a dance studio for little girls so there was some music playing from about 6pm to 9-10pm which we enjoyed while sitting on the balcony. Would recommend if you need that much space

The place to stay in Oaxaca!
Casa Crespo is the place to stay when you’re in Oaxaca! Super convenient location (we walked everywhere we wanted to go) It was super, super clean, really comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. The house is two levels which we didn’t realize when we booked. There’s a cool office space downstairs plus another full bath and laundry area. The backyard is beautiful and private. It was nice to be just a bit away from the very center of town because it was much less noisy and much more private. Gene was a fantastic host and responded almost immediately to any question we had. It also felt very very safe with security gates and an alarm system- although Oaxaca city in general felt safe! We will be coming back to stay again on our next trip to Oaxaca and we’ve already recommended the place to friends!

Fabulous modern house close to everything!
Set back behind a wall on a busy street, Gene's wonderful house was a very comfortable, very peaceful oasis in the middle of a lively city. Very tastefully furnished and well equipped, the house had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the balcony in the evening after a hot afternoon listening to the music wafting up from everywhere. Gene responded almost immediately to every question, whether about the house or where to find a market. We're so glad to have found this house, and we look forward to staying there on our next trip to Oaxaca.
