Holiday rentals in La Grecia

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.

Taking the accommodation gave me peace of mind and above all, meeting exceptional people.

Safe place, we could have our motorcycles stored. The place is small but worked fine, air conditioning was lovely and efficient. There were no opportunities to cook some food that we missed. But despite that, it was a great stay and would love to come back.

Very clean and comfy place to stay in Matagalpa. It does feel like staying in a hotel. walking distance to town, in a quiet neighbourhood. Eden is very responsive and friendly !

The super clean central apartment nice location super comfortable really was a very good experience

Parisa’s home was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! My husband, baby and I enjoyed every day of our stay. We felt right at home and enjoyed making meals and sitting out on the screened patio watching the birds fly and sing while looking at the mountains. Parisa’s place is exactly how described. There is AC, beautiful amenities, hot water, comfy bedding and furniture and an amazing view that you would never want to leave. The Airbnb has beautiful grounds to walk on as well if you’re looking to get some steps in or get outside. There is a gorgeous waterfall in Santa Emilia, 20 mins from the Airbnb and the downtown of Matagalpa is just a 17 min drive from the Airbnb. There isn’t WiFi in the Airbnb which is mentioned, though there are full bars of service on the phone and you can bring a hotspot if need be, anyways who wants to be on their phone when you have views like you do from Parisa’s Airbnb! We will definitely be back in the future! Thanks for such a tranquil stay!

I would've loved to stay longer! We booked this home at the last minute because we were crossing borders in Central America and it was dark before we reached our planned destination. Rodolfo responded immediately and gave us a beautiful place to stay. His home is so lovely and the setting is beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well in a secure environment. Thank you so much, Rodolfo!

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.
