This was the best place we could have chosen to stay & we will be back! Stellah’s home is absolutely beautiful, a perfect respite from the busy city while still being a 10-20 min walk from everything we wanted to do in the city center. 4 of us were visiting to celebrate my birthday, & Stellah was an incredible host, offered food & dancing suggestions, & connected us to local artists (we even hired her friend to capture the occasion with a photoshoot on 35mm!) She even helped find a driver to & from the airport. But by far the most wonderful part of the house was Asu, the housekeeper. She was so kind, friendly, & welcoming, & we negotiated separately to have her come cook breakfast a few times. My friends even spoke with her privately & arranged for her to bring a surprise cake, sparklers, flowers, & candles. She made her favorite mole on the celebratory day, which we asked her to eat with us as she had stolen our hearts by that point. Stellah’s home is so spacious & relaxing, peppered with Oaxacan art, and plenty of kitchen amenities. It stays cool & bright, tons of natural light, & the private office is perfect for getting a little work done- it would be ideal for a creative retreat. The patio as well is gorgeous, with plenty of herbs and fragrant plants, lovely to chat and have a drink in the evenings. As Oaxaca is in a water crisis, we tried to conserve & be kind- but if you are wanting a more luxurious experience, you might be better staying in a hotel or near the ocean.
