La Grecia : locations de vacances

I was going to spend an extended period in Matagalpa so I spent a week visiting all the places listed on AirBnB in person. Norvin's place is by far the best. The room is separated from the main living area and there is an extra sink, stove, and refrigerator to use so it's basically a whole apartment. It does face the street though and can be quite noisy as I don't believe people there believe in using mufflers. I made use of a white-noise machine. The location is in the middle of town and the entirety of Matagalpa can be traversed by foot in about 20 minutes. There are plenty of places to eat close by. A plate of food can be had for under 3 dollars at most of them. Breakfast and answers to questions are free. Norvin speaks some English which makes him one of probably 3 people in the whole town that does. There's hot water. The importance of this can't be overstated. Hot water is rare enough in Central America and that's normally no big deal but the water in the highlands areas is substantially colder than it is in, say, Managua. I stayed at another, comparably priced, AirBnB place my first week while I shopped for a long-term location. That place not only didn't have hot water but the water broke entirely and I was instructed on how to bathe out of a trashcan full of water with a little bucket. I was happy when Norvin told me I could move in early. Norvin is a professional baker. So, if you enjoy amazing baked goods and deserts, expect to get fatter during your stay. The balcony is perfect for a couple of people to hang out on and have a beer and a cigar from Esteli while watching the people do their thing. In summary, you'll get hot water, wifi, breakfast, a great location, fantastic hosts, an apartment-type living situation, laundry service, and a great location. Trust that I already did all the shopping around for you and book this place. Please tell everyone Nathan says 'hi' and give Valente a hug for me. I'm serious, please do that for me and enjoy your time in Matagalpa. It's a fun little town.

This place was great. Secure parking, exactly as described. For some reason, our nav system couldn’t locate the home (we’ve had trouble internationally before), but Johanna was very patient and kind and came to the rescue.

Really nice apartment in a central location. Many delicious restaurants around. Really close to the main bus station from Managua etc. Was a bit dirty in some small areas but overall very clean. Air conditioning is awesome, and the washer/dryer, the fridge/freezer really helpful. There is a nice cat that hangs out around the area so if you like cats it’s a perfect spot for you. I really enjoyed my stay. Eva who greets and responds for the property is very kind and easy to talk to. She made me feel very welcome.

Israel was very kind and welcoming even though I booked very late (day of stay) and got in very late at night! His staff was very helpful upon arrival as well. He even took me to a mechanic in the morning as I was having car trouble and am not from the area which was extremely helpful!

Ich hatte mein eigenes geräumiges Zimmer mit eigenem Bad. Alles sauber. Eine standklimaanlage gab es auch. Herrlich. Da Erika leider nicht da war, hatte ich das ganze Haus für mich. Klasse. Aus Sicherheitsgründen hat sie leider die Küche abgestellt. Mein Frühstück mit ei konnte ich mir leider nicht gönnen. Aber das ist meine Empfindung und kein Minuspunkt. Gerne empfehle ich diese Unterkunft weiter, gute Lage zum Central Parque und kleinen Museum. Zum Mercado Alfredo Lazo war es natürlich sehr weit zu laufen, aber im Rahmen eines Stadtrundgang völlig in Ordnung. Die Unterkunft bietet viele Restaurants in direkter Umgebung. Einen Supermarkt gibt es auch gleich um die Ecke fünf Sterne für den Aufenthalt. Danke

We loved our stay at Carol's. The room was nice--very clean with a private bath and fluffy towels. We enjoyed the well behaved dogs and the caged birds and the beautifully arranged plants in the patio. Carol and her niece Carolina were kind and attentive. The neighborhood is residential, but there are small businesses on every street and several good restaurants in easy walking distance.

Un hôte très réactif et accessible. Une chambre tout confort et extrêmement propre. Une vue bien Sympathique sur les montagnes. De bons conseils. Un rapport qualité prix imbattable. Un endroit parfait pour séjourner à Matagalpa.

This is the perfect location to explore Somoto Canyon. Patricia is a wonderful host and she arranged the perfect tour for us as soon as she found out what our interests were. The house is in nice neighbourhood easy to reach by taxi. A few restaurants nearby, but we really enjoyed both supper and breakfast that Patricia prepared for us.
