such a lovely B&B in Oaxaca
Pros:

We absoltely enjoyed our stay in this lovely B&B in Oaxaca. We loved the location, it's close enough to town cetre but not too noisy. Walk 15-20min to most of places you'd like to visit. The breadfast is superb and they offer something different each morning. Room decoration is local and authentic.

Cons:

Pros:

Lovely space, very clean, comfortable room, and it was nice to have a light breakfast each morning included! Staff was also very nice and helpful.

Cons:

The room was hot. It does have a ceiling fan but we were there during a heatwave so we did miss having a cooler space to rest.

This was a comfortable and friendly stay.
Pros:

The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was tasty and I liked the way they served it at one big table in the courtroom. They supported a lot of local arts and crafts.

Cons:

The noise level from the road was a little high.

Pros:

Familiäre Atmosphäre, das Frühstück war ortstypisch und jeden Tag ein anderes Hauptgericht. Das Personal ist super freundlich. Die kleine Dachterrasse hat uns sehr gut gefallen; man sieht von dort Monte Albán.

Cons:

Es hat uns nicht gestört, aber man sollte wissen, dass man den Autolärm von der Strasse relativ gut hört.
