Some info has been automatically translated.
We are located within walking distance to all that Antigua has to offer-- Central Park, restaurants, cafes, bars, historic sites and ruins (we are directly across from the Cathedral of San Francisco), and close to most of the Spanish Schools.
The space
We have 3 guest bedrooms, located off of the upstairs corridor. Each room can accommodate 1 or 2 people. Bedrooms each have a lock to ensure privacy; keys provided to guests. There is one bathroom with hot showers, that is shared among guests. Our family uses a separate bathroom. NOTE: When you make a request to book-- please look at our photos, and specify which bedroom you are interested in.
We provide 3 meals per day, included in the cost of the room. Home cooked meals are provided Monday through Friday (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Saturday, we provide just breakfast. On Sunday no meals are provided. We can assist you in finding a panaderia, cafe, or restaurant during times when meals are not provided.
There is purified water available to our guests at no charge, at all times. Coffee and tea is also included.
Located very nearby is a laundry service. Guests may drop off their laundry and retrieve it later, all dry and folded up! The laundry service charges by the pound... but I assure, you it is a very reasonable fee and very easy to get done!
There is also free WiFi in the house. WiFi works very well downstairs and can easily accommodate internet phone calls, internet browsing and more with no issues. Upstairs, the WiFi signal is less strong -- it works ok, but it is not as reliable as it is downstairs.
Guest access
Our guests have access to the courtyard, kitchen, refrigerator, the living room, the dining room, and the rooftop terrace.
During your stay
Many guests are students of Spanish Schools. Students are often looking for a total immersion experience... and we are happy to assist! Our family loves to converse with people from all over the world, and we are happy to assist with Spanish during conversations. We invite our guests to eat meals with our family, and enjoy Spanish conversations around the table.
Some guests are not Spanish students, and prefer a more private experience. We are happy to offer as much... or as little interaction as our guests would like.
Other things to note
We provide guests with free purified water. We provide towels and bed sheets, which are changed weekly. Wifi is available free of charge. Guests are provided keys to the outer door, as well as to their bedrooms.
We want to be clear that this listing is not for a hotel, nor a hostel.
This is a family home, full of life and laughing. We love having guests in our home and look forward to meeting you!!

My work: Spanish teacher online and face-to-face.
Fun fact: I went climbing, which I don't do.
What makes my home unique: find a family atmosphere:)
I like to spend time with my guests
My name is Maria Elsa. We are a Guatemalan-Salvadoran host family and have welcomed guests from other countries into our home for the past 19 years. Guests will share our home with myself, my husband Manuel, our two adult daughters (Claudia and Joseline), and our beautiful four-year-old granddaughter Valery and our pet cat Kira. Because our family has hosted so many people for so many years, we really know how to make guests feel welcome and comfortable.
Many of our guests are Spanish Immersion Students, attending one of the many language schools in Antigua others come to relax and spend time with Latino families. We love to include our guests in our conversations during free time and during all meals. This is truly an excellent way to learn!! Besides being a host, I am also a Spanish teacher with 23 years of experience and have worked with students from all over the world-- I am very well-equipped to help guests with their studies! I can even provide personal and private Spanish lessons, if desired.
