Beautiful, furnished one bedroom apartment on first floor of artists' home with private entrance. It is graced with lovely patios and pool, office/studio/library, large bathroom, bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. laundry area with washer and dryer. Spacious and airy, fully equipped kitchen with filtered water, two sinks, electric stove and oven, large refrigerator and walk-in pantry. A huge tamarind tree occupies the center of the living room/dining room and kitchen and rises through the house to provide shade, cool, beauty and fruit :) There are more than 18 trees on the property which provide a micro climate and haven for birds. The avocado and mamey trees provide wonderful fruit in the summer. Here is an excerpt from a former tenant's essay about the home: The Arch and the Flower It is said that the number that adorns the street is an answer to the final question, regarding life, the universe and all else. It is also said that the neighborhood bears the name of a hero, forgotten in the shadow of his more famous brother, killed in the Mixe mountains one hundred years ago. Or so is said, but we know how people like to talk. What I do know for certain, having seen it with my own eyes, is that the entrance to the house is immune to the passage of time, and that, above the gate, sculptures of a haughty, prancing horse and an unkempt insect guard the portal. These two, horse and insect, shelter from the perennial sun beneath a Moorish double archway, similar to the one this traveler discovered one afternoon during a downpour in Yaxcopoil. Beside the arch rest two retired sewing machines, dreaming of yesteryear, when they embroidered linen guayaberas and dresses, day and night. And beneath the arch, an eternal flower welcomes the visitor into the unexpected, which rests inside this warm oasis, hidden beneath the bright sky of the Yucatán. Edgar Franco, from his essay, El arco y la flor No one that has ever stayed here has wanted to leave.
