Casa Abuelita is a real gem in the heart of La Paz. We have traveled all over Mexico and have rented many house; this is a favorite. Absolutely perfect location, within a ~2 block walk to everything - restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries, shops, etc. The beautiful seafront Malecon (maybe our favorite in all of Mexico) is just 1 block away. Bus station 2 blocks away to take you to be
The house felt like our own home for our stay. While an historic 100+ year-old traditional La Paz home, the property has been meticulously restored and brought up to modern standards, with comfy bedrooms (great beds!), spacious bathrooms (each of the 3 bedrooms has its own Ensuite bathroom, plus there is a 1/2 bath located off the backyard patio), and a large, modern kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal (Not that we did much cooking since there are so many great, affordable eateries close by). The bird theme is tastefully executed (hard to pull off but the designers are clearly pros)
There is a fantastic Mezquileria directly across the street, with a great selection of drinks, plus friendly & attentive staff. This place attracts an upscale, mostly local crowd and is great fun. Be aware, it's popular and though the crowd is upscale, they still like to party on the weekends, so expect some street noise on busy nights. This was most noticeable on Friday and Saturday nights when the whole town was out and about until closing time at around 2am. Aside from this night weekend noise and some general street noise from big trucks driving by occasionally, the place is very peaceful and relaxing. The world sort of melts away when you sit in the beautiful backyard/courtyard area, with its covered outdoor living room (very comfy), lounge chairs and small plunge pool (a little cold when we were there, but you can heat it if you want to).
Ana, the property manager, and Alma and her cleaning crew are amazing. Ana provided great local tips (food, tours, etc.) and was always available to answer questions.
All in all, we would come back to Casa Abuelita and would highly recommend this to visitors interested in an authentic Mexican experience in a very safe, very clean and well-managed historic Baja city. We would just recommend you bring some earplugs if you are sensitive to street noise and plan to stay in one of the front bedrooms, which are near the street though through thoughtful design, have their bathrooms as insulators between bedrooms and street.
