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.

Israel was very kind and welcoming even though I booked very late (day of stay) and got in very late at night! His staff was very helpful upon arrival as well. He even took me to a mechanic in the morning as I was having car trouble and am not from the area which was extremely helpful!

I had a lovely stay with Erika and Tita. Erika is a friendly host with tips on what to do in and around Estelí. I was a bit sick and Erika made me some nice tea to feel better :) her cat Tita is a lovely girl that enjoys to be cuddled. The neighbourhood is safe and you have lots of places to eat closeby. I would recommend to stay at Erika’s (and Tita)!

We loved our stay at Carol's. The room was nice--very clean with a private bath and fluffy towels. We enjoyed the well behaved dogs and the caged birds and the beautifully arranged plants in the patio. Carol and her niece Carolina were kind and attentive. The neighborhood is residential, but there are small businesses on every street and several good restaurants in easy walking distance.

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.

Everything was excellent! Edén is super nice and was always at the ready to help with tips and recommendations. The place is palatial....like an upscale hotel. Great views from the room and even better ones from the top viewpoint of the house. Everything is kept extremely clean, there was excellent hot water in the shower and it was real convenient having the kitchen at one's disposal. Oh, the mattress was the best I've had during my 5 week trip around Nicaragua! Super comfortable! TIPS: best coffee: Selección Nicaragüense (2 locations). Excellent Mexican food at a great price: El Taquero. Great Italian food in a beautiful space: La Vita e Bella. I highly recommend Edén's place!

Excellent experience, my friend and I would definitely return, Daryl is super attentive and friendly, super recommended, 10/10.

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.
