“This spot occupies a prime location in Oaxaca's historic center, a short walk from Santo Domingo and other landmarks. The restored 1920s colonial house charmed me with its rooftop terrace offering city views and its pet-friendly policy. Though some rooms are small, the location and cultural vibe make it a solid base for exploring the city.”
