As another reviewer said, quite accurately, it is really hard to find a nice place to stay in Cuernavaca at a reasonable price. Casa La Malinche is much more than just a nice place at a reasonable price. Our only regret is that we didn't plan more time in our stay to simply hang out at the house and enjoy the tranquility of the place and the view from the terrace.
The house is built on the side of one of Cuernavaca's several ravines, and has three basic levels. The rooms we saw each have access to two of those levels---the ceilings are high, the rooms spacious, and the neighborhood amazingly quiet for how convenient it is to downtown Cuernavaca. The small considerations Doug and Betty alert you to when you arrive---patience with the hot water (which always arrived nice and hot, eventually) etc....are standard considerations in any home in Cuernavaca and are more than compensated for by the beauty, comfort and convenience of the house, and the graciousness of the hosts.
