Written By Amber Dunlap

In my year+ of living on and off in Oaxaca City, I lived all over town, in hostels in Centro, Airbnbs in Reforma, and apartments in Jalatlaco. I pondered moves up to San Felipe del Agua for its proximity to the quiet dirt and agave-dotted mountain trails and was equally tempted to find a place in the peace, quiet, and cozy coffee shops of Xochimilco too. All of this to say, I certainly accrued quite the firsthand experience about where to stay in Oaxaca, all of which is included in the Ultimate Guide of Where to Stay in Oaxaca that I wrote for Eternal Expat towards the end of my long-winded stay in this magnetic city.
