There are 2 extremely economical Fluff n Folds within a block of the apartment for laundry needs.

There is a full time Guests' Assistant onsite to quickly answer questions or help with any arrangement you may want.

Outstanding view, very nice apartment
The apartment itself is terrific, nicest place I've stayed in Latin America. Roomy rooms, clean functional bathrooms and kitchen. The open air windows provide loads of fresh air and follow the common situation in Latin America of plenty of noise. The roof-top view and gardens are a wonderful escape from the heat (90s in March this year but we hear this is unusual.) The biggest asset of the place is the taxi driver they recommend - Lionel Lopez and his fleet of punctual, dependable, highly skilled, and personable drivers.

Another wonderful stay at the apartment
We had another wonderful month at the apartment. We have stayed now four times at both of Anthony's apartments and we enjoy them both. Comfy bedrooms, nicely apportioned kitchen and of course wonderful views of the mountains. It is a bit of a hike up from el centro, but well worth it. We are already planning our next winter trip!

It really is!
We absolutely loved this apartment. It is bright, spacious, and airy, and we never tired of the view. Your cheerful hosts, Anthony, his wife Sandra, and their lovely and charming daughter Emily (who is like having your personal concierge) couldn't have been better. They helped us with everything we needed during our stay, including arranging for a taxi for our 5:00 AM departure. The kitchen is very well supplied with everything you could want - even a multitude of covered containers for storing your cut fruit, leftovers, and anything else you have. The beds (all three) are very comfortable. The two main bedrooms are large and well-appointed, with plenty of storage for your things. The third is a few steps away from the door which leads up to the lovely roof terrace and covered outdoor patio, where you can sip a cold beer and enjoy the view. When you're in Oaxaca, you are definitely going to want to be venturing out! This city is alive with culture and celebration, especially on the weekends. The church of Santo Domingo de Guzman, and the Zocalo downtown, were both a 20-minute walk by different routes for my wife and I (both in our mid to late 70's); younger folks will make it in less time than that. One word of caution - this is a penthouse, and that means steps, lots of them. If steps are a problem for you, this is probably not the place you want. Otherwise, it can't be beat!

February in Oaxaca
We have stayed in this apartment twice, and have rented it again for February. Love the location which is more neighborhood than tourist with panoramic view over the city. It works beautifully for 3 couples with space to work, hangout, and gather together or in pairs. Great small family restaurants, plus Humito up the street. Had a brief issue with a water pump, and the owner was most helpful.

Fabulous place to stay
We had 16 nights in this beautiful place. Magnificent views, amazing sunsets from the rooftop terazzo. Two wonderful bedrooms with bath...one with an extra room with twin bed. Third bedroom in back is very basic. But the space is large, comfortable beautiful. We had 5 and8 year old kids with us, they loved it too Kitchen is great thought we didn't cook much. Wonderful restaurant, Humito, nearby and some delicious pop up food too. Lots of tends for basics. 20 minute walk to zocalo downhill We had two families join us one at a time and everyone loved it!

Great to return for the third time to Panoramica!
Three years ago, we stayed a month in the downstairs unit and we spent a month in the upstairs unit for the second time! We really enjoyed both apartments! We are already booked for next year. We love it. Sam was very responsive to our needs. From our perspective, the apartment is the perfect distance from the tourist area -- a solid and safe and friendly working class Mexican neighborhood. Some renters might find the hike uphill a bit demanding, but we thought it was fine. Great market at the bottom of the hill. Very comfortable and generous living spaces and bedrooms, nicely stocked kitchen, fine bathrooms. The third ancillary bedroom as reported by other reviewers needs attention. The upstairs terrace is absolutely wonderful; we spent a lot of time in the outdoor space, both day and evenings. All in all, a great stay in a very nice place in Oaxaca.Thank you Anthony and thank you Sam. See you again next winter!

Panoramic View
First and foremost, the view was worth its weight in gold!! The house was big, lots of space. If you don’t mind walking it is a straight walk down to St. Domingo church ten minutes Downhill, the walk back will have an uphill grade. Make a right and your five minutes from Zócalo, and in between lots of nice restaurants, mezcal, and things to see. If you want to just enjoy your view or want something to eat very close just a walk about te houses down is the famous Artist Lila Downs restaurant Humitos and home. Great food breakfast and dinner, live music not loud! Incredible service, a must while you stay at the house. Sam was a great help with anything we needed and at any time day or night. Will definitely come by with bigger group of friends. If I had to say anything negative it would be that it does need just a little bit of tender loving care, not a show stopper by any means!,!,!

Lovely house, amazing view
I stayed in Casa de Emily with my wife, son, and parents for a month over the new year. What a great place for a family gathering! I can confirm the comments made by previous reviewers. It is a bit of a walk to the center of town, but it’s interesting, and easy to get a taxi back if needed. The house is spacious with lots of privacy between the rooms and comfortable common spaces. The rooftop deck is amazing. What a place to experience Oaxaca from! I will recommend Casa de Emily to my friends and enjoy the memories of the time we spent there.

Oaxaca trip
Overall a nice spot to stay at. honestly the only reason I would stay here again is for the view and attentiveness of Sam, the young man who hosts there. He was super responsive, very helpful, and available. We stayed there 7 days, honestly the steps we had to take to get to the apartment were deadly hahahah mostly because we had little ones to carry up a long with all the bags we had, so for a family with little ones I wouldn't recommend. There was plenty of space the rooms were pretty big however this apartment could really use a deep clean, we turned on the fan and could see dust going down and the light fixtures have layers of dust and spider webs. The other thing we saw a lot were huge red ants all over the house. The main bathroom has a shower head that shoots water towards the door and is unusable, I did tell Sam about this and he mentioned the plumber would go but never did, but fortunately the other 2 bathrooms worked just fine. We enjoyed our stay and our kiddos loved playing at the top while looking at the view.

Amazing Vacation
I can't begin to tell you how happy we were with our vacation in Oaxaca. We were looking for authentic Oaxaca and we got it with this property. It is in a beautiful, local neighborhood and within walking distance to most anything we wanted. Sam is the best and was so helpful in arranging transportation for our tours to Monte Alban, Hierve el Agua and Mercado de Tlacolula. He also had lots of suggestions for local attractions. But, most of all, I am extremely thankful for Anthony's and Sam's willingness to work with us when we had last minute changes to our booking. We originally were scheduled for six adults but two of our family were unable to come (lost passport) and we had other family (our son, daughter-in-law and grandson) booked at another property. We realized that a lot of time was going to be spent arranging transportation from one house to the other so we asked Sam if we could have our son and his family stay with us in the Penthouse. He told us he would speak with Anthony and let us know. Not only did Anthony say this was okay, Sam brought a twin-bed in so my grandson didn't need to sleep on the couch. We loved Oaxaca and hope to return and we will always look for this property when we come. Thank you so much, Anthony and Sam, for an amazing vacation !!!

Head for the Oaxacan Hills!
My crew and I stayed in a penthouse high in the hills and our big ceiling to floor sliding windows open up to let all the neighborhood sounds in (one of my faves being a gas truck with a catchy jingle 🎵). A further private terrace offers even better views with the entire city laid out in front of you – at night the view is BREATHTAKING ✨ . . ((The access involves quiiiiiite a few steps, so unfortunately it is not for the physically challenged.)) The walk to the historical ‘Centro’ is a nice 20 minute downhill stroll through a real Oaxacan neighborhood, but after a day of being out and about we took a taxi home every evening that costs about 60 pesos ($3usd) and was very easy. It was a good neighborhood with a couple of convenience stores nearby and the kindest people you’d ever want to encounter! The host Sam was very kind and easily accessible which was helpful when booking taxis for excursions. I’ll definitely be back!

Unbelievable view in down to earth neighborhood
At first you may be a little turned off by the neighborhood or the dated worn quality of the apartment and furnishings, like we were. But as the week went on, we grew to love the space and even felt proud that we were staying in a real neighborhood instead of in a touristy whitewashed area. The view was always the best highlight. Sam, the apartment manager who lives on site was, as others say "White glove service"! Cute as can be and so responsive, friendly and helpful. This was the first time in my long history of rentals that the apartment host offered to purchase a small list of grocery items (to be reimbursed by us) before we arrived. What a luxury to not have to forage around town for your limes, wine, beer, coffee, and breakfast items right at first! Sam even had ice cold mugs waiting in the freezer. Pros and Cons (for us, may not be for others) Pros: View, view, view, rooftop space view, and did i mention the view Very safe and secure feeling. Behind two locked doors and perched up high on the hill. Two of the 3 bedrooms VERY large and comfortable, very separate and private spaces Size-- super high ceilings, very spacious apartment. Location-- outside the noise and bustle of centro area Cons: Third bedroom is so small and dark, no windows, and located outside the apartment proper, up the back steps toward the roof. We were so turned off by this bedroom that two of us (3 friends) shared the large bedroom instead of one person staying "out there." Crushing poverty next door, people living in literal tin shacks. But Oaxaca is one of the poorest states in Mexico, so you're going to see the full spectrum here. Stairs-- not really a con for us, but just to point out that there are a couple flights of steps up to the apartment.(But more steps=better view!) If your mobility is affected these are not good. There was a bathroom pipe odor in the largest bedroom, and large water bugs and a lizard that showed up now and then. Another thing that may freak you out completely right at first, but then you kind of get over it. Certainly we would have preferred not to see these on late night trips to the bathroom.... :( Nothing like that in the second bedroom/bath though. But overall, we would stay here again. Give it a chance!

Superb views of the Oaxacan sunset from both the living room and the roof-top palapa. Really nice kitchen and dining area - and the bedroom was perfect. Lots of room for spreading out and relaxing. Excellent wi-fi and Sam the local property manager was really helpful. Great location - just far enough away from the city center to feel like you're living as the locals live - but close enough to walk to the Zocalo in about 20 minutes or so.

Comfortable home with spectacular views in a great location close to the centro
From the views and the layout (it's BIG) to the warm and helpful owner and host, this home far exceeded expectations! The view itself is worth going back for, in fact we almost wish we stayed in the house more to enjoy it. We were only in town 5 days and so spent most of our time out exploring but the sunrise and sunset were worth being home for. The owner of the property and the host who lives in an apartment below this one were extremely responsive and helpful with anything we needed, whether it was recommendations for restaurants and things to do or anything to do with the home they were which to be of service. We will be back to stay again and HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone wishing to enjoy a great home away from home and who enjoy walking and exploring the town.

The property has a great view of Oaxaca and we saw several thunderstorms rolling in, which was beautiful. The apt. is close to the zocalo and central area (15 minute walk) but it is a bit uphill on the way back so you might want to take a taxi. We did several times. There is a coffee shop 3 buildings down and we counted 10 little grocery stores in a 10 block radius. Great view and great area.

Nice apartment, amazing view, not too far from downtown
Basically loved the place. We had 3 couples for the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (though my wife and I drew the short straw in terms of the room and bed) and the multiple common rooms were great. Good kitchen, pretty well supplied. We also had access to the roof with a glider and a gazebo--fantastic view of city lights at night. Downsides: roosters early in the morning from across the street, dogs barking all night, and a water pump that gets loud for 15 mins. twice a day (near our BR). Upside; living on a real Mexican street, to go to the grocery store, a fluff-and-fold laundry place, and a cool music club with a local band. It takes maybe 20 minutes to walk to downtown, and taxis are easy and cheap. Anthony, who manages the place, was always very responsive.

Great Apartment with a wonderful view of the city
The apartment was large and well furnished. The rooftop deck was wonderful in the afternoons and evenings. The kitchen was well appointed including with good knives. Anthony was very responsive when we had questions or issues. It is located a little walk from the main tourist areas. If you are coming from the north end, the walk is a gradual uphill, but if you are coming from the zocalo there will be a bunch of stairs to get to Panaramico del Fortin. The stairs definitely got easier as the week progressed. There is also a couple of flights of stairs up to the apartment from the street on the west side of the building (visible in the one photo.) So if stairs are a problem for you this would not be a good apartment. But you couldn't get the elevation and the views without a few stairs. It is worth exploring the area around the apartment. Although outside of the main tourist area, there are some good restaurants and groceries close by. Since this was the second week of our stay in Oaxaca, the washing machine machine was very appreciated. A dryer is not needed as the sunshine and dry air dried clothes very quickly on the lines. There were two very nice bedrooms and bathrooms in the apartment. There is an additional small bedroom with bath outside the back door on the stairs to the roof, still inside the private space of the apartment. I guess it was probably originally a servants room originally. That would be good for a single person only. Anthony has prepared a binder of notes and suggestions about the apartment, the local area and Oaxaca in general. But the binder has been used a lot and has become disorganized. It would be helpful if Anthony would reorganize and update it. But that was a small issue.
