Everyone needs to stay here. Incredible terrace with sunset view and hammock and barbecue. Huge kitchen. Super fast service. Our toilet wasn't working and half an hour later a plumber was in there and boom we had a toilet again. We love Casa Ohana.

It’s a lovely AiRBNB / Bed and Breakfast maintained by a warm and hospitable family! I stayed here for about 2 weeks and stayed in 3 of their rooms. All of them are very well maintained. The place also has a lot of common areas to just hangout and chill and not to mention the rooftop bar which has almost 360 view of the city with some amazing sunsets. I highly recommend staying at Casa Ohana!

We had such a wonderful and amazing stay at Casa Ohana in San Cristobal. It is a beautiful house with a special vibe, very well taken care of with a lot of love for details. It is a house with 5 private rooms, where all the rooms share common spaces such as the kitchen, the living area or the terrace. The best place in the house is definitely the terrace with a magnificient view over San Cris, a relaxing hammock and some perfect spots to catch some sunshine. The kitchen is super well equipped and the cleanliness in the house are top notch. Absolutely recommended!

I honestly can’t say enough positive things about my stay at Casa Ohana. The place is so welcoming, comfortable, and impeccably clean. The upstairs terrace was so pleasant. You can take in views of the city and surrounding landscapes from the hammock or couch while listening to the birds singing. The location is fantastic with an easy walk to all that San Cristobal has to offer. Beyond all of that, I just have to say the host Joelle is incredible. I’ve stayed in many AirBnB’s and similar accommodations over the years and Joelle is by far the most gracious host I’ve encountered. She is so communicative and attentive, constantly striving to ensure you have the best stay possible. I can’t recommend this place enough.

I stayed here originally for 2 nights but then extended my stay for a night because I didnt want to leave. This is really a boutique hotel that is sparkling clean and full of thoughtful touches. Joelle went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. Freshly cleaned towels on the clean bed, great water pressure for a nice shower and a place that is up to Canadian, American and European standards. The roof patio is so peaceful and provides a great view and it is really nice interacting with other guests in the house. It is small enough that it feels like gome, but big enough that it offers a chance to meet new people. This house has great vibes and I would go back in an instant. Joelle has a background in hospitality. Combined with heart of gold and you have the best place to stay in all of San Cristobal!

I've spent amazing month in Casa Ohana. Beautiful and inspiring space. Rooms are clean and kitchen is equipped in everything you might need. There is a big terrace with sunset view and some other colorful spots to chill so it doesn't get busy. I met really nice people there and the owner is very helpful. It's in a great location and has a water filter in the kitchen. I highly recommend.
