Size of room. Dark. No windows. Misleading representation

Pros:

Nice old but refurbished case in city centre, nice location.

Cons:

Beware: toilet and shower has no door. We are married couple but still, it’s not very romantic to hear what is happening in the toilet 😅

Great place to stay & chill in central Oaxaca !
Pros:

Great place to stay in Oaxaca!
The location is very central, but the display of the building makes it all nice and cozy inside the rooms. We loved the rustic/minimalist design, the bed is really, really comfortable and the the staff was nice and really helpful (including when I forgot the key for the main door inside the room... This problem was solved quickly and efficiently, thank you very much!
There is complimentary coffee and water in the room, hot water in the shower everyday and a full dressing room for storage. We loved our stay here, we'll be back for sure whenever we come back to our beloved Oaxaca :)

Cons:

One detail: there is no door between the bathroom (shower + toilet unit) and the bedroom, which I guess can make things a bit awkward depending on who you are traveling with! A curtain would be welcome to separate the two, and the place would be truly perfect then ;)
