This is a beautiful and elegant home. It is clean, spacious and fascinating. It was also quite chilly in spite of moveable space heaters. Extra blankets followed us around when we used downstair spaces. This home has full-time, live-in staff who prepare breakfast and make the beds every day. If you like having staff prepare meals and provide services similar to a hotel, this is the place. We are used to cooking for ourselves and making our own beds so it was an awkward fit. We eventually decided to just go with the $7 per person breakfasts. They were delicious and in the end we decided it was the easiest way to go. We are accustomed in air bnb's- and especially when traveling with four kids and one food allergy- to have a kitchen for our own use. Apparently we did not read the listing as carefully as we might have because although this was available, it was difficult to work around the needs of the staff who also used it to prepare breakfasts and their own meals.
Maria was very helpful and gave us a ride to her neighborhood restaurant when we arrived late and hungry. She can tell you many interesting things about the history of the neighborhood and of Mexico City as she has experienced it. We will choose a different accommodation next time we come to CDMX but we enjoyed experiencing a family home and Maria's tories about it.
