Holiday rentals in Las Tejas

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.

Centrally located, most attractions within walking distance. It is a new building under construction but had no effect on our stay whatsoever. The two full glass walls surrounding the bed made the city views with the mountains in the background spectacular. Our host was very accommodating and even had a couple cold beer in the fridge upon our arrival. Todo bien!

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!

Tomar el alojamiento, me dejó tranquilidad y sobre todo conocer a personas excepcionales.

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.

Excelente opção para descansar. Casa super equipada e confortável, localizada em local tranquilo.

Of all the places I have visited, Finca El Socorro, hosted by Sara, has been one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited and experienced. Sara has been an excellent host, always very attentive, communicative, and flexible. But the most important thing about her and her husband Edgar was the warmth and affection with which they welcomed us — they made us feel like a true member of their family. And feeling that way means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate it. It was a very short visit and stay, but it was absolutely worth it. The views from the house undoubtedly deserve to be on a postcard. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMENDED!!! Thank you, Sara, for making us feel at home.

I agree with the other reviewers that Yelba offers a joyous and illuminating experience. The daily breakfast connected me to her home and community. Yelba arranged for 2 excursions that were outstanding. I highly recommend her property. Yelba exemplifies the warmth, resilience, and considerable talents of the Nicaraguan people.
