Casa Murgaia
Oaxaca City Oaxaca State Mexico
We are a family of 4 with a son 18 and daughter 20 we travelled to Oaxaca for Christmas in 2012. What a great time of year to see Oaxaca.
Casa Murgia is a home with several rental suites in Oaxaca city. The courtyard has a mature garden and a beautiful pool with sea creature design in the tile for when you want to relax. The home is centrally located and is walking distance to the Zocalo. There is a local market, Merced market, about a 15 minute walk straight down the street. Be sure to purchase the spicy peanut , garlic and chili snack mix at the market if you go..Great with beer , trust me you will be hooked. A corner store for quick supplies, beer, sandwiches and fruit. There is a supermarket on the same road before you get to Merced market . A taco stand was parked in front of the corner store every so often, it was always packed. We did not get a chance to try them but they sure looked popular. Though we did not use the public buses this time there is a bus that runs down the side street right there.
The unit we stayed in had a full kitchen, king size bed, full bath and separate room with 2 twin beds for the family. There was a table and chairs in the unit however most times we enjoyed and sitting at the in the courtyard in front of our unit. Bibi the property Hostess is bilingual English/Spanish. Bibi helped us arrange cabs and could point us in whatever direction we headed that day. Through Casa Murgia we went to Rancho Pitaya and enjoyed a horseback ride in the valley. See my review of Rancho Pitaya.
Casa Murgia is your home away from home. We found Casa Murgia quiet though right in the city. A great place to make your base while exploring Oaxaca. You can spot Casa Murgia from down the block, it is the house on the street with a garden of banana trees out front! We recommend this accommodation and would definitely return to Casa Murgia .

We traveled with our 8 year old daughter and my mother. We were all happy. The location can not be beat and the pool was a great afternoon treat. The location was convenient, quiet and safe. This is great for small groups or large ones. The owner was so helpful in guiding us to resources to make our trip eventful. We are thinking of going back and staying here again. Don't miss this lovely place if you are Oaxaca.

We recently stayed here over Day of the Dead. The casitas are humble, but clean, centralized, and spacious. They all surround a nice pool, which is cold and a bit itchy if you don't take a shower. There is a lovely garden in the central courtyard with the pool, and each casita has a table there, along with some lounge chairs. Our casita had a kitchen and spacious living room in addition to our bedroom. The bathroom was clean but there was a very small water heater and we had to move very quickly. The staff cleaned daily and was available and fast with any requests, including bringing new jugs of sterilized water. There are markets very close to pick up supplies. The beds were comfortable, and the whole place was quiet. I would definitely choose to return here.

My two sisters and I rented the Bird of Paradise Bungalow for a week this past "Day of the Dead." We loved the modest Mexican style apartment which was charming -- simply decorated with Mexican art and tiles, and a perfectly outfitted kitchen. The daily maid service was outstanding. We loved the garden and option to swim in the long pool. I looked at all the other units and they seemed comparable in style. The location could not be better -- right in the middle of town with walking access to markets, bus station, and Zocalo. I'd stay here again. I often rent from VRBO and this place was a winner.

Dear Maryjane and Bobby: we are still remembering the wonderful 3 weeks in your lovely 'hacienda' in the most convenient location in historic Oaxaca. So much to see and do -- museums, galleries, shops, restaurants -- and all within comfortable walking distance. Weather was fantastic, and -- yes, the food too. We were very happy with the guide you recommended for day-trips to craft villages, historic sites and markets. It was great to discover that the Oaxaca we first visited 30 years ago has retained all the character and charm we remember-- and gained some impressive museums and restaurants too. Thanks again for your thoughtful and generous hospitality.

Our bungalow was well equiped and tastfully decorated. The location is within easy walking distance to all the downtown attractions. The complex has a central courtyard with a swimming pool and was extremely quiet - only the twittering of eary morning birds, which as a birder was not disturbing to me. The attendant was extremely hard working and kept the premises spotless. The owners were very helpful and as a bonus they own a property outside of Oaxaca and offer excellent horse riding adventures.

My wife and I spent 3 weeks in Oaxaca City during the month of February. For us, Casa Murguia was the perfect place to stay. We had the smaller studio (there are 2 other larger units). The location was great, allowing us to walk 5 blocks to the central zocolo and a few blocks to Merced market to restock.
As my wife describes it, "We lived outdoors," taking all our meals at our patio table next to the pool, or reading and relaxing on the chaises.
We interacted with out neighbor couples in the other units, even having communal dinners where we all chipped in a dish or two.
Mary Jane and Bobby, our host/owners were very friendly and accommodating. They took us horseback riding one day at their ranch near Tule, driving us the 20 mins. there and back, door-to-door.
Maria Antonia came daily to make beds, straighten up, and even do the dishes.
We had 21 days of perfect weather, mid-80s in the day, and low 60s at night. I swam in the pool everyday but one, and got tan laying in the sun before and after each swim.
We hope to return to this delightful, bustling, vibrant city, and can't think of a better place to stay again.

I've stayed in several places in the lovely colonial city of Oaxaca, and Casa Murguia offers the best of locations, close to the historic center, but amazingly quiet and beautiful.inside its adobe walls, which enclose an extravagant garden, verandas and a pool. Both grounds and living quarters are clean and well-maintained. There is daily maid service, and all necessities, including water, linens, toilet paper, soap, etc, are provided.The city itself is endlessly enchanting, with some of the best crafts in Mexico, delicious restaurants, charming architecture andnearby ancient ruins and vibrant villages to explore. The owner of Casa Murguia also offers horseback and birding adventures at Rancho Pitaya, not far away. As visitors to the Casa are always exclaiming, "It's another day in paradise!"
