Hola!
We are looking for recommended yet inexpensive places to stay for a week at a time in the following states/areas: Veracruz, Yucatan and Riviera Maya. Gracias!
We had a wonderful time at Casa Conde! Jacobo & Jorge did an amazing job welcoming us to their city.

It was located within a short walk to the park, Condesa, and metro stations.
