As mentioned in a previous blog post, I always search for beautiful Airbnbs to stay in whenever I travel somewhere new. In my research Mexico has consistently blown me away with home architecture and design. This summer I traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico and decided to stay at Casa Cleta. Casa Cleta is an airbnb about 10 mins outside of Oaxaca City Center in a beautiful area known as San Felipe del Agua.
What initially caught my eye about Casa Cleta was the beauty within the simplicity of this space. It had given off and airy relaxed feel that was instantly comforting. Here are some key points to get to know about this beautiful Airbnb:
The Design:
Originally, Casa Cleta was a bakery coffee shop/architecture studio as "bread" shops were the only business allowed to operate during covid. I was not aware of this prior to my stay but now that I have this knowledge I can see that.
Casa Cleta is broken up into two structures. The living area that is complete with a lounge, kitchen, half bathroom and library nook. Before entering the bedroom, you will walk outside onto a charming mini courtyard/patio that is complete with fairy lights, a hammock, patio seating and beautiful greenery. After a few steps are taken onto the courtyard you will meet the French style doors that will welcome you to the bedroom which is a little studio complete with a full bathroom. The division of the living space from the bedroom was my favorite feature. I love that it suggests that the bedroom is solely for sleeping.
The Price:
Casa Cleta is listed for under $100 a night. Which is an amazing value considering the space this structure provides. The extra fees were also not excessive.
The Location:
Casa Cleta is located about 10 mins outside of the city center of Oaxaca City. To get to the city center, you could request a taxi or DiDi. While it is not very far at all, I did find it a bit difficult during certain times to request a Didi but there are taxi services you can call by phone to book. By foot, you can expect to walk about 45 mins to the city center.
I highly recommend walking around the neighborhood as there are many breath taking, picturesque sights to view. The area is a nice break from the busy streets of the city center and literally feels like you are an oasis. Casa Cleta appears to be an up and coming area but there are plenty of little mercados and restaurants around.
I must mention, the host Andrea, was very accommodating and made checking in a breeze! She also provides a clipboard full of recommendations around the area and surrounding parts on how to get around, where to eat, and how to access various parts of the airbnb. A great touch!
If you are planning your next trip to Oaxaca, no need to sift through a bunch of subpar listings, consider Casa Cleta for the your most comfortable stay.
