Elegant Apt + Atitlan/Volcano Views @7 Volcanes

This private, secure, and comfortable second level apartment has a small kitchen with stove/oven and refrigrator, its own covered porch, and a wonderful view of Lake Atitlan and 7, including some live, volcanos. The short 5 minute walk to town makes it easy for shopping, activities, and restaurants, but far enough for quiet nights. The wood furniture for this apartment was hand built by me, having been a cabinetmaker in the states for 25 years. The queen orthopedic pillow top bed is provided with 100% cotton sheets, and the bathroom, with 24 hour hot water from a brass rain shower head, sufficient towels, and complimentary shampoo and soap for stays less than a week. The sofa converts to an extra bed for a child or third person.

The apartment is located inside a secure walled garden and has wifi internet access and use of the washing machine. There's a wonderful private garden to enjoy and often other guests staying with me in the house, or the other apartment, from all destinations, to chat and exchange information with. We can meet you at the public dock, or at Blind Lemon's Restaurant in the central area of San Marcos to help you with your luggage, or even arrange transportation from the airport in Guatemala City if you like.

GREAT APPARTMENT !
We had a wonderful stay in this quality well made apartment. Ludwin took care of everything we needed because Carlos was away. The yard is gorgeous and the view from the balcony or the bed, will make you at peace. They make easy for you to compost and recycle, which is a great plus to us. The apartment is 5 minutes away from anything. We could buy everything we needed from locals and even find places to eat with locals.

Gorgeous apartment in a beautiful location with a great host
I had a thoroughly lovely time staying in Carlos' place. The apartment and furnishings are really nice quality and it is a really nice place to hang out and read/relax. Waking up with the view of the volcanoes from the window and bird song in the forest around the house was a dream. The location was great - close enough to the village that you can pop back and forth, but set back in the woods so you can feel in your own little world. Perfect for getting away from it all. Carlos is a great host and the place is nice and secure so it is ideal if you are travelling alone and want a base to feel at home in. There is a house being built on the plot in front of this one, which is in view from the balcony but doesn't obstruct the view of the volcanoes. I did have a sinking feeling when the workers arrived and put on their music on my first morning. But I mentioned it to Carlos who had a chat with them and they agreed to switch it off for the days I was there, which they did and then everything returned back to peaceful birdsong. Otherwise the construction was very quiet while I was there. Overall, I'm very happy and can't wait to come back again in the future! I will be recommending this apartment to friends and family.

5 Stars!
Magical! Carlos was the perfect host..there when you needed questions answered or supplies, but otherwise not invasive! His apartment is the ideal perch! AND his blues guitar at his restaurant, The Blind Lemon was soothing to the soul! THANK-YOU Carlos and Kata and Son!!

Great apartments!
My cousin and I stayed for three nights, we had the top and bottom apartments. Units were as pictured, very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. Carlos was very accommodating and great to do business with! I do recommend ear plugs for the dogs and roosters in San Marcos! Sunrise is beautiful from the top balcony!

It Was Great
Great views of the lake and the climate is an eternal Springtime . Saw one of the volcano mildly erupt one morning as I was waiting for the the sunrise. The plume was illuminated by the rising sun. Room is clean, bright, airy and the water pressure is good in the shower. If you arrive via the small ferry let Carlos know in advance of the ETA and if you come via the road check-in at the Blind Lemon Restaurant- which also has cable for sporting events. Carry-on wheeled bags and backpacks work best on the path up to the house. Good restaurants with a healthy food /lifestyle theme are in San Marcos. Short ferry ride to San Pedro and a little longer to Pana for day trips.

Would return in a heartbeat.
A beautiful comfortable property that is exceptionally clean and well maintained. Very well suited to having late dinners or early morning coffee and beautiful sunrises on the deck. Our host was very welcoming and readily accessible to answer our questions. Would recommend a dinner and music at the nearby Blind Lemons restaurant. A perfect spot from which to explore the whole of Lake Atitlan.
