It´s so peaceful and quiet it´s hard to believe you´re in the center of the city. Breathtaking original design by sculptor-arquitect Kees Grootenboer combines natural materials with energy-efficient appliances and modern comforts. Abundant windows and skylights welcome natural light and beautiful views; spacious interior invites you to relax or work peacefully with good wifi connection. Roomy corner sofa makes into a bed for two. Two attractive stuffed chairs let you read comfortably, with good light. Outdoor deck with view to the southern mountains is glass-covered, great for eating outside at sunset or using wifi outdoors. We named this beautiful apartment after my beloved mother, Lavinia, who admired beauty and appreciated comfort. Entrance is through historic Spanish-style building housing a cultural center, La Casa del Pan Bakery & Cardamomo Indian Restaurant. Spanish, meditation and yoga classes are available in the building, as well as massage, reiki and osteopathic therapies by appointment. Documentaries and selected movies are shown most evenings downstairs. Live music in the restaurant on weekends does not interfere with the peace and quiet upstairs. Your privacy is respected at all times in your quiet, secluded apartment in the sky. Other Airbnb guests may be occupying the nearby apartment, Casita Lin, which uses the same access. Attention is available during the daytime and evenings from your hosts and staff to answer questions about local attractions. We are on the historic market/walking street in the historic center, well preserved, with restaurants, shopping, tourist attractions, theater, concerts, art galleries and travel agents nearby. San Cristobal is a great walking city. To travel outside the city, taxis and collective vans are 1/2 block from us, and travel agencies are located on Guadadalupe Street. If you need a friendly, reliable taxi service to the airport, please advise us ahead of time, and we will be happy to reserve it for you. In our high mountain valley we sometimes experience cold nights! You can request a space heater for a, small, additional fee. While the apartment is in the heart of the historic center, it is a quiet rooftop retreat, a few steps away from live music, theater and cultural activity in the neighborhood. Restaurants, markets, travel agents, bookstores and shopping are nearby. You also have easy access to a variety of transportation services including our local mini buses (colectivos) and taxis. The washer-dryer is energy-saving, super-quiet but requires 6 hours to finish its cycle of wash & dry. Please note this and plan ahead, if you want to wash your clothes. Also, it uses very little liquid detergent, which we supply, of an eco-friendly variety and 1/2-cup of which should be added directly on the clothes and not in the soap dispenser.
