Centrally located in a beautiful setting.
Ten busy days in CDMX on a research trip were made infinitely more pleasant and coherent by staying in Camilo’s beautiful, well-appointed and centrally located apartment. I really loved this place. More than other times abroad I felt part of the neighborhood, which is not filled with tourists yet close to everything. Unlike downtown this place is quiet, unlike Condesa, San Rafael is unpretentious, a lot less expensive and the neighborhood felt entirely safe. The apartment itself opens onto a beautiful long courtyard lined with about a dozen other residences. At the front end is a large, intricate gate (for which you’ll have a key), visually an architectural pleasure. The apartment itself: high ceilings, all the amenities including filtered water, wifi, very comfortable bed for those with lower back issues, small but perfect layout, historic ambience with modernist touches appreciated. Camilo’s list of suggestions was helpful and in addition try out the tlacoyos or gorditos made with blue corn to the left of the front gate and half a block down at the street stand.
