    Hosts are ectraordinary. I felt taken care of, entartained and repected. I feel this is important to mantion becuse it is not a must-have and not even an expected feature of any rented accomodation. I would love to come back to Casa Ela.

    Casa Ela was the perfect place to start my trip in Guatemala. The most welcoming hosts- I felt as if it was my home! The location is fantastic, very quiet and beautiful views of erupting volcanos on the rooftop!

Located in the amazing town of Antigua Guatemala, our rooms are very private, clean and well lit. We have a couple of patios in the house and a fire pit in one of them. The house is located in a centric Antigua neighborhood that will allow you experience the local culture and life with amazing views of the volcanoes, surrounding mountains and a couple of little parks. Moving around in Antigua Guatemala is pretty simple, specially, when you are located in a centric place like ours. You can walk anywhere and go the opposite side of town within 20 minutes walking. There are many attractions outside of town and you could get local transportation, Uber, or, Guatemalan specials “TucTucs” (little three wheeled covered motos that serve like taxis). We don’t have our own parking space but we are located in a cul-de-sac or dead end street where you can find parking spaces on the street most of the time. Also, since we are in town, there are many options of parking places to choose from just 5 minutes (walking distance) away from the house.
Hi! I’m a Guatemalan corporate lawyer and entrepreneur, happily married to Lauren. Together, we share our home with two giant dogs, Murray and Maya. Travel is a big part of our lives; we’ve lived in different countries and love discovering new places as tourists. I’m currently the host of my parents’ beautiful home in Antigua Guatemala, a historic town full of magic, and I’m here to help. Happy to be part of the as a host and traveler.
We are located in Antigua Guatemala. Main attractions like the Santa Catalina Arch Street, Central Park and La Merced Church are located 7 minutes away (walking distance). We are also near Cerro de La Cruz (7 minutes walking). Although shops and restaurants are only minutes away, the area feels peaceful and secluded. We have great wifi that works perfectly for any work meetings you might have or anything else you might need it for. We prepared a Guidebook of many awesome places to enjoy good coffee, snacks, dinners, breakfasts, co-working and have drinks enjoying the views of Antigua, to help you enjoy the experience. Event though we don’t have our own parking space, we are located in a cul-de-sac or dead end street where you can find parking spaces on the street most of the time. Also, since we are in town, there are many options of parking places to choose from just 5 minutes (walking distance) away from the house. Find us on IG as: @casaelaantigua
