This casita is just like pictured and is actually in Santa Ana which is a pueblo in the Antigua area. About a 30 minute pleasant walk to the Parque Central BUT is right on the parque central of Santa Ana so you get a really good feeling of daily life in Guatemala away from the hustle of the tourism. There is a soccer game going until 10pm at night, there is a little tienda right next door with a panaderia across the plaza. There is a tortilla lady (8 tortillas for Q3) on the walk back into town and on the main street that separates Antigua from Santa Ana a guy parked his truck with FRESH pineapple, papaya, mango - YUM!

The house itself was clean and very nicely decorated. It is in a gated community of 3 casita's with a woman named and Ana and her 2 daughters. The yard in the photos is actually the parking area but it worked out okay for my 14 year old to play with our 2 year old friend.

I only gave the house 4 stars because the kitchen is not that well appointed (I had to ask Ana for a basic can opener). The stairway is very steep and narrow steps. The railings are far apart. We made sure the 2 year old stayed off because it was not safe for him. Also the beds downstairs were sort of in the living room but a folding door created a separation so it was private. Loved being in the central area of the pueblo but be warned it can be noisy on a weekend night.

Ana and her daughters were lovely, gracious and helpful
