Mary Kay is a wonderful host and ambassador for Oaxaca and the people. She is extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming with a quick sense of wit. Her assistant Margarito and her groundskeeper Hil are both very kind and helpful. If I had one regret it would be that I had not been more able to converse with them in Spanish.

This is my second time staying with Mary Kay and first time with this current house. I'd start by saying that it's much more beautiful and spacious than the photos suggest, with loving and interesting design choices. The walled-in compound is a little oasis with constant bird-song, nice breezes, and beautiful trees and plants across the property. My family adored the lap pool and my toddler had a blast in the various shallow sections. I recommend renting a car as you'll have easy access to the nearby towns of Tule and Teotitlan and downtown Oaxaca is about 20 minutes the other direction. This time, we hired Mary Kay's assistant, Eli, to cook big family-style meals for us each night. She had a number of suggestions and we also made our own requests. The meals were delicious, authentic, affordable, and such a nice way to wind down an evening without having to cook for ourselves or leave to go to a restaurant. I recommend pursuing this option for at least some dinners.

Most gracious, attentive host. Many places to visit; hiking paths around; restaurants close by, local markets within walking distance. Very safe environment, friendly. Car not necessary. Local taxis are cheap. Local driver available to visit faraway places. All of which was cheaper and less stressful than renting a car. Recent buildings with interesting architecture, art decoration, protected compound, one of the three villas is the host's. Beautiful garden, carefully maintained. Long covered swimming pool with sea water, with opening ceiling. Washing machine and dryer. Mary Kay paid our taxi to the city center (half hour), aqua purificada, made sure everything was fine, helped us prepare visits; she has outstanding knowledge of the culture, having taught Mexican History, and being involved in the community. Local band practiced once a week. No problem. 4 dogs on site (usual in Mexico), friendly, not invasive. We had a wonderful experience and want to come back again next year.

We loved our second stay at Mary Kay’s! The house with its amenities was super and the location very convenient for day tripping. We will be back again!!
