I worked from here for 7 days. The desk and the wifi were up to the job. Playa Paraíso, as recommended, was a highlight. Breakfast in the garden every morning. Would happily do another month.

A chukum-plastered house on a sandy street in La Veleta, with a plunge pool in a garden of palms and ceibas, a rooftop for the stars, and two bedrooms that open onto the pool. Fans and air conditioning, an outdoor shower, a kitchen with a big fridge for the cenote days. Bikes are in the garden for the 15-minute ride to the beach road; Gran Cenote is ten minutes the other way. Town's taquerías and the Saturday market are a five-minute cycle. Nights here are dark and loud with frogs. Inside: 2 bedrooms sleeping up to 4 (bedroom 1: 1 queen bed; bedroom 2: 1 double bed) and 2 bathrooms. There is a washing machine, a proper desk and air conditioning in every room, and fast wifi throughout. It stays cool inside even in the hottest months. Check-in is from 3 pm with a keypad on the door; checkout is by 11 am. There is off-street parking for your car. No pets, please. Quiet hours are 11 pm to 8 am, as the neighbours live here all year.
Minimum stay: 2 nights

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
La Veleta is the jungle neighbourhood between Tulum town and the beach road: sandy streets, cenotes ten minutes away, and the sea 15 minutes by bike. It has the cafés and tacos of town without the beach-zone prices, and it is dark and starry at night.

I split the year between Santa Teresa and Tulum, following the swell and the yoga seasons. The houses are built to be open: screens, fans, outdoor showers, and the jungle doing its thing around you. I run sunrise surf lessons and will get you on a wave by day two.

Lovely house in a great spot. The bikes made the trip; we barely took a taxi. The shower pressure was so-so.

Easy self check-in, clear directions, no surprises. The kitchen is properly equipped, which almost never happens. The bed is extremely comfortable. Don't miss Playa Paraíso; Mateo pointed us there and it was the best thing we did. Would stay again.

We loved every minute here. The bikes made the trip; we barely took a taxi. Mateo told us about Playa Paraíso and tacos at Antojitos La Chiapaneca; both were excellent. We will be back.

Our second time here and it was even better. Our favourite thing was the rooftop at night with no light pollution. Finding the house in the dark took a minute; read the directions before you set off. Mateo met us at the door and had thought of everything.
