“Casa Mayela's proximity to the Tracopa bus station and Mercado Central is undeniably convenient, especially for early departures or market explorations. The genuine kindness of the hostess, even with language differences, creates a welcoming atmosphere. I think the well-maintained kitchen and comfortable common areas enhance the overall feel of a home away from home.”
