Quiet - comfortable - surrounded by garden. My property is on the southeast edge of town in a country setting. It's a walk to center - 8 or 9 long blocks - but taxis are 35 pesos per group, 40 pesos if you call for pick-up at the door. The streets are quite safe to walk at night. The space Unlike most tourist rooms in Valladolid, The Garden Room has a kitchen with microwave, fridge and counter-top stove. There's wireless internet, gated off-street parking and a small area outside to hang a hammock. Bird-watching in the garden can sometimes bring delightful surprises. It's a nice area with friendly neighbors and four small stores within easy walking for basic necessities. Guest access The space is fully outfitted with sheets, pillows, blankets, towels, dishes, pots and pans, etc. I can lend small things needed such as an iron, a hair dryer, small kitchen appliances. etc. I have two bikes available to my guests - first come, first served. Similarly, I have various shelves full of DVDs that I can loan. I have a washer and dryer in my house with clothes lines outside. Guests can coordinate the use of these with me or, for a reasonable charge, my housekeeper can wash, dry and fold clothes for guests upon request. There are also laundries that will wash, dry and fold for 15 pesos per kilo within 5 to 6 blocks. Other things to note NOTE: Cancun, and the entire Caribbean coast as well, is one hour later than Valladolid. Mexico no longer observes Daylight Savings (except for a few areas close to the northern border). Consequently, except for Quintana Roo and those areas up near the border, Mexico is on U.S. Mountain Time during the spring, summer and fall months.
