Vacation rentals in Sébaco

While we communicated with Juan, the stay was upstairs of where his parents live. They do not speak English, but they were so kind and patient while we tried our spanish. We had breakfast with them in the mornings and felt like we were with family. The location was fatastic, right in the middle of town. Easy to get to other places from this central location. I would stay here again just because of his parents!

I was going to spend an extended period in Matagalpa so I spent a week visiting all the places listed on AirBnB in person. Norvin's place is by far the best. The room is separated from the main living area and there is an extra sink, stove, and refrigerator to use so it's basically a whole apartment. It does face the street though and can be quite noisy as I don't believe people there believe in using mufflers. I made use of a white-noise machine. The location is in the middle of town and the entirety of Matagalpa can be traversed by foot in about 20 minutes. There are plenty of places to eat close by. A plate of food can be had for under 3 dollars at most of them. Breakfast and answers to questions are free. Norvin speaks some English which makes him one of probably 3 people in the whole town that does. There's hot water. The importance of this can't be overstated. Hot water is rare enough in Central America and that's normally no big deal but the water in the highlands areas is substantially colder than it is in, say, Managua. I stayed at another, comparably priced, AirBnB place my first week while I shopped for a long-term location. That place not only didn't have hot water but the water broke entirely and I was instructed on how to bathe out of a trashcan full of water with a little bucket. I was happy when Norvin told me I could move in early. Norvin is a professional baker. So, if you enjoy amazing baked goods and deserts, expect to get fatter during your stay. The balcony is perfect for a couple of people to hang out on and have a beer and a cigar from Esteli while watching the people do their thing. In summary, you'll get hot water, wifi, breakfast, a great location, fantastic hosts, an apartment-type living situation, laundry service, and a great location. Trust that I already did all the shopping around for you and book this place. Please tell everyone Nathan says 'hi' and give Valente a hug for me. I'm serious, please do that for me and enjoy your time in Matagalpa. It's a fun little town.

Israel was very kind and welcoming even though I booked very late (day of stay) and got in very late at night! His staff was very helpful upon arrival as well. He even took me to a mechanic in the morning as I was having car trouble and am not from the area which was extremely helpful!

Easy check-in, parked my land cruiser out front both nights - no probs. Simple but functional room, sparkling clean. There was coffee in the reception area early after my morning jog through the neighborhood (steep hills, great if you're a runner in training!). I enjoyed breakfast on the top floor terrace - beautiful views of the city and mountains opposite, and fresh breezy air. Muy tranquillo saturday and sunday mornings. Close to the Dario park which was festive for the holidays, and a nice restaurant a block away (Casa Blanca). A very well maintained hotel with a quiet vibe, and great friendly service. A great value, too.

What a lucky hit! A wonderful Airbnb. It had everything we needed. We actively used the fireplace. We were provided with firewood. The pool was a nice cool down when the sun warmed up the beautiful place. The place is perfect for resting. But even for the little wanderlust, there are also some great mountains with trails that guarantee you wonderful views. We didn't have a car, but San Ramon village is within walking distance and we could buy anything we needed. Danilo and his family and workers are super friendly. They are helpful and gifted us with many things and drove us on our departure to Matagalpa and helped us by bus. 100% recommendation

We loved our stay at Carol's. The room was nice--very clean with a private bath and fluffy towels. We enjoyed the well behaved dogs and the caged birds and the beautifully arranged plants in the patio. Carol and her niece Carolina were kind and attentive. The neighborhood is residential, but there are small businesses on every street and several good restaurants in easy walking distance.

Beautiful location. All major restaurants and clubs are located right around the corner. everything is walkable and price is great.

Wonderful place, very clean, wonderful staff. Went out of their way to make our stay warm and memorable. Delicious breakfast 🍳
