Fantastic house and host. Excellent location, doorstep to metro, obesity calories, cafes, 24 hour supermarket, parks with many cute doggos.
House: adjacent to Chapultepec park and 20-minute walk to many activities. Great atmosphere, tasteful decor. Not pictured but worth consideration: second floor balcony/terrace to unwind after long day. Ground level house in quiet neighbourhood, occasional lively pedestrian noise that is more reassuring than nuisance. Frosted windows all around provide plenty of atmospheric ambient light during the day. There isn't much task lighting in table area if you need bright place to homework at night, but it wasn't an issue for us. TV hooked up to an Apple TV but also has HDMI + USB port which supported our chromecast. Stocked kitchen with industrial toaster and big jug of water. Not doing frequent water runs is a surprisingly convenient luxury.
Host: Marco was prompt with communication, knowledgeable, generous and basically 100% magnificent. We ran out of time and energy to acquire copal incense before our flight, but Marco hooked us up with a piece from his personal stash during checkout. Girlfriend was very gratefully, sniffing it the entire flight. In addition to boosting my boyfriend resume, he also provided great mezcal recommendations that will make me appear suspiciously cultured among my very particular alcoholic peers. So yeah, rent Marco's place if you want a great place to stay in Mexico City, a great host to elevate your stay.
Bonus: if you're a cat person, there aren't (m)any outdoor cats in the city, but we found a bunch of stray kitties chilling about 20 minutes away in Chapultepec park, particularly on Calz. Mahatma Ghandi during quiet weekday afternoons. Airbnb doesn't have adjacency to cats as amenities, but it probably should.
