This self-contained studio is part of a colonial house in the historical center of Xela. It overlooks a beautiful interior patio and the house is close to all amenities such as restaurants, markets and sights. It is for individuals looking for more independence but in a safe and central space. It has a bedroom with a low king sized bed, fully equipped kitchen/dining area and small private bathroom with hot shower. The house has WIFI, electricity, gas, water & drinking water included. The house is a traditional colonial style house set around an open flower filled courtyard. The studio apartment is on the second floor and overlooks the courtyard so it gets a lot of light. It has wooden floors, a small modern bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, work space and storage area. The studio apartment is independent but the entrance is inside the main house/patio area. The apartment guest is more than welcome to use the patio space as they like (breakfast outside, etc). I am away from Guatemala at the moment, but my in-laws Luis and Leslie live in the building and look after the house, guests and pets. They both speak great English. I am available on airbnb message to answer any questions you may have. - We specify the studio is more suitable for one individual as it is next to another studio within the wooden/stone colonial building and we find when two people are staying in the apartments and conversing in the living space the sound carries (we only have one person in the other studio for the same reason). - We offer further discounts to students studying in our nearby language school (contact us for details) - We have water deposit and pump on site so good water pressure. - All utilities provided (gas cylinder, electricity, water, drinking water (from filter) - WIFI 24 hours (20mbps download, also used by 2 other rooms, please let us know if you will need internet for work during your stay) - Bedding provided (sheets, pillows, two duvets/comforters). Towels provided if needed. - Guests get keys to their apartment and the front door - Cleaning not included, but for long term guests it can be arranged with our caretaker. - Part of the outside space is sometimes used in the morning for one-on-one language lessons .
