Hotel Boutique La Cochinilla

I stayed at this wonderful place on two separate occasions. Once in a private room and the other in a shared space. On both, I was greeted with great enthusiasm and real appreciation. The staff is courteous, the place is super clean, the neighborhood is safe and quiet and easy to walk around, there's quality restaurants around the corner (there's one two blocks away with superb breakfasts!), and since it is family-owned and operated, you will certainly see and meet the owners--who are incredible people, particularly Claudia! She will electrify you with enthusiasm for the city, the culture, the colors and flavors of Oaxaca, and the music especially as she herself is an artist and can point you in all the right directions! Stay here, you will not regret it!
