  36 sqm house & porch with a lovely garden view. 9.25 sqm covered patio with spectacular lake and mountains view.
  The property has 3 units connected by a common wall. Each unit hast its own entrance and own garden for maximum privacy. Due to the proximity of tenants, we maintain a responsible level of noise to respect our neighbors' tranquility.

Each house in the property has its own private porch, own entrance and own garden. The street and compost back garden gates are for all of us who live on the property. You climb around 40 steps up going to your house. Sadly pets are not allowed. Only the bathroom and bedroom walls are 2 meters high well ventilated and illuminated, the other areas are standard height . A tenant is living in one house and we are living in the other house. You receive a house with A PREVIOUS DEEP CLEANING. We appreciate YOU DO A DEEP CLEANING BEFORE YOU CLECK OUT, we will write about it in your review!!!
  No meals are included.
  If you have a vehicle, you can park on the road or in a private parking lot five minutes away.
  The house is big enough to host 2 people. THERE IS JUST ONE SLEEPING ROOM WITH ONE KING SIZE BED, SO IT IS GOOD FOR A COUPLE.
  
  
  Wi-Fi optic fiber 5 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up, and there is asymmetrical sharing between the three houses. You can add it through the internet provider if you need faster speed. 1) 150Q monthly per 5 Mbps down more, adding to the 5 Mbps I offer. Total: 10 Mbps down, 2 Mbps up asymmetrical. 2) 250Q monthly for 5 Mbps up more and 8 Mbps down more. Total: 10 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up asymmetrical.
  San Pedro is mainly rural, we sometimes experience power outages. An extra battery and a Guatemalan SIM card will help mitigate the effects of power outages.
