We actually stayed in 2 airbnbs during our time in Antigua Guatemala, and both were fantastic value and perfect.
The first is in the city centre known as “Casa Rita”, just a few minutes walk into the centre and you book a room in a traditional Guatemalan home (which is pretty much like a mansion).
It’s super clean, you have access to a cosy living room with real fire, a kitchen, free use of washer and dryer (always a bonus) and communication with the owners is great.
The second is location just 15 minutes via uber (20 via chicken bus) from the city centre and it’s probably the most beautiful bed and breakfast I have ever seen in my life.
It’s known as “Balmoral Suite”. The woman who owns it is actually an interior designer, and you can tell. The home is cosy, LARGE, you have access to the kitchen, 4 living areas, swimming pools, vast gardens, and you get a complimentary breakfast.
It’s located in an area called “Los Aples” and is close to lots of local restaurants and shops so it’s in a really good location.
