Question 1

Is Casa La Maria better than booking via Airbnb or Booking.com?

Accepted Answer

Yes — booking direct on casalamariazonacolonial.com avoids the OTA service fee (typically 14–18%) and gives you the same flexibility, the same property, and direct WhatsApp contact with our host before and during your stay.

Question 2

How close is Casa La Maria to Calle Las Damas and Parque Colón?

Accepted Answer

Casa La Maria is on Calle Parmenio Troncoso, a quiet street in the heart of the Colonial Zone. Calle Las Damas is a 5-minute walk, Parque Colón and the Catedral Primada are 6 minutes, and the Alcázar de Colón is 7 minutes — all on foot.

Question 3

Is Zona Colonial safe to stay in?

Yes — Zona Colonial is one of the safest neighbourhoods in Santo Domingo. The street is pedestrian-only, well-lit, and patrolled. The building has secure entry and each apartment has a digital safe.
