The apartment had all the things I needed (refrigerator, stove, dishes, pots and pans, etc.); located a short distance from a main road in Huatulco where there was plenty of activity (shops, restaurants, hotels, beach) but far enough away to feel buffered from noise and traffic; because of the location, it is helpful to have a vehicle (as I did); hostess was helpful, polite and not at all obtrusive; there is no washer for guests but the hostess did my laundry for a minimal fee. It was the first time I stayed in a house instead of a hotel in Huatulco, and I'd stay here again rather than at a hotel.
