The hosts were so warm, friendly and helpful. I feel like they really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable.

I felt like part of the family, who was really the highlight of my stay. The view from the rooftop was amazing, everything was clean and comfy. Although it's a bit far from the centre, you can get there by public transport. If you're looking for a quiet and authentic stay, you won't be disappointed at Elus place .

I absolutely loved staying here! Eleu and her family were so welcoming and treated me like family. I actually ended up staying an extra day because I was having such a lovely time. Upon my arrival, Eleu gave me a tour of the house before giving me hot chocolate and then feeding me dinner. Throughout my stay I had lovely conversations with both Eleu and her husband. Eleu showed me where the bus stop was and on my last day we went on an adventure looking for a very specific green clay mug. I will absolutely be returning as soon as I can and have already recommended this place to friends. Muchísimas gracias por todo y nos veremos pronto.

Please don't expect a luxurious hotel, it is much better! It really depends what you like! I like staying at locations which are a litte off the beaten track, which are authentic! Try to find the real Mexico! Casa Donaji is like staying with family. In fact you are staying with a family just not your own! They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The view from the roof terrace is probably on of the best you can get in Oaxaca! There is a National Park fairly close by, where you can go hiking. A lot of little Mon 'n Pop stores close by. Bus station 3 min walk away. Inexpensive food from the neighbours sold on the street. Elu (the Mom) prepares you a yummy breakfast if you ask her to! I was there for quite a few days and enjoyed it so much! Would and maybe will go back again. And Oaxaca de Juarez is a great city! Lots to do and to see! Muchas gracias por todo!

David and his family were readily available to answer questions and to give advice.

Great value for money, hosts are extremely welcoming and helpful. Beautiful views from the terrace. Best to have your own transport for staying in this location, but we liked that it was a quieter area.

Lovely terrace, perfectly equipped kitchen, good location with easy links to the city centre. Perfect homestay-like stay with owners always happy to help.

One of our best stays in Mexico! The family running the casa are so warm and welcoming.

It was a pleasure staying at Casa Donaji, I highly recommend! The location is a bit further up the hill in the Volcanes district, so you’ll avoid the crowded city center. Elu was a great host, she helped us with getting taxis and the right buses and made awesome hot chocolate! The place has also a really nice terrace and everything was super clean and comfortable. There are some really good and cheap Taquerias nearby, also laundry shops, a pharmacy and small shops are just around the corner.
