Guest Access:

Guests have full and exclusive use of the space during their stay. There may be times when HOLT staff require entry. We will communicate this with you in advance. In the event of an emergency, HOLT reserves the right to enter the property without prior guest approval.



There are scheduled maintenance jobs our staff needs to do during the week. This means someone will go to the house to do work at a specific time and date. We will let you know in advance the time and date these services will happen. These services cannot be rescheduled or canceled as it is the required maintenance the house needs to be kept at the level you will receive it. If you want privacy, we can cancel the cleaning services only. You can send a message to our Guest Experience team to request this.



The Neighborhood:

In the southern half of downtown, there’s Barrio de la Noria, a quiet, residential area lined with colorful, single-story houses, and family-run Oaxaca restaurants.



While Oaxaca City is a fun, festive place, it is also quite loud. If you want to stay in the downtown area, but long for a relaxing night’s sleep, La Noria is a better option than Santo Domingo — which is definitely on the loud side. Barrio de la Noria borders downtown to the southeast, and spans the area along Calle la Noria.



In Barrio de la Noria, you’re still within walking distance of the all top Oaxaca attractions, including the Zocalo, which is a 10-15 minute walk while still being able to get away from the busyness of it all when you desire.



Getting Around:

For those with cars, our property features a closed, two-car garage on the ground floor, allowing you to drive right into the interior. The property is just 15 minutes away walking from Oaxaca's downtown, giving you the best location to explore all of Oaxaca. If you would like airport pickup and dropoff, or to have a private driver at your disposal, HOLT can arrange this service for you. There are also taxis and Ubers available at reasonable prices.



Other Things to Note:

Guests will be required to submit payment details for a security deposit or a damage waiver. We offer two types of damage coverage for your stay: a non-refundable damage waiver that covers accidental damage and normal wear and tear (excluding house rule violations), or a refundable security deposit held on your payment method before check-in and released after your stay if no damage is found. Guests can choose either option based on their preference.



Hot tub rules: Guests who do not follow the instructions to use the hot tub properly and damage it will be subject to a USD 500 fine. The hot tub rules are shown in the last photo of the listing and are present in the property.



All guests must sign a HOLT rental agreement, submit identification & provide contact details before arrival to receive HOLT's Boarding Pass with check-in and property information. HOLT reserves the right to request a copy of a government-issued ID for each guest in the reservation.



The property has a CCTV security camera on the exterior of the property with a view of the entrance of our property. In addition, there is an additional security camera in the garage facing the door that separates the ground floor unit from the upstairs unit to ensure the safety of all our guests. There are no recording devices in private areas of the unit. All recordings are deleted after 30 days.



If you are booking for commercial purposes, please notify us in advance with details of your use of the property as terms and pricing may vary.



This is a pet-friendly property. There is an additional $50 USD sanitation fee per pet. Guests not disclosing they are bringing a pet but are caught by our team will be subject to a $500 USD fee.



Interaction with Guests:

HOLT’s Guest Experience team is reachable by message, phone, text and email 24/7. Our on-the-ground managers, cleaners, and handymen are available at reasonable hours of the day and night. In the event of an emergency, HOLT reserves the right to enter the property without prior guest approval.
