Where do I even begin? Wow, wow, wow. Second time staying at one of Fabiola's gorgeous houses, and honestly, don't stay ANYWHERE else in Mexico city.
Not only does Fabiola have impeccable taste, she really makes an effort to make sure her houses feel like homes. Not just fitting them out with cheap, ikea stuff where you feel that uncomfortable. It is not just an income, but a passion project of Fabiola's- and you can feel that.
The house has a gorgeous cat named Kitty, and if you love cats, this cat will be your best friend. My first few days in Mexico City, I was having a hard time, and she slept on the bed with me every night. Followed me everywhere, and came and sat on me in the loungeroom while I read my book and watched the rain from outside over the gorgeous green trees.
If you don't like cats, she'll leave you alone don't worry.
The entire house has huge windows that open up entirely and a lot of natural light. If this is important to you, then you're covered here.
The room has a huge TV with Netflix and the bed is insanely comfortable, with a high-quality feather mattress topper.
But the best part is Fabiola and her partner Eduardo, and their two dogs, Chula and Santa. You will see Fabiola every day pop into the house, and do whatever she can to make sure it's impeccable for the next persons stay.
Fabiola doesn't live here, so the two rooms will be occupied by you and another traveler. I met a lovely English girl the first night I was there, and we went for tacos. It was nice to meet another person visiting.
From the bedroom window, you'll see 'Drip Coffee' go there, the coffee is great and it's a beautiful reading spot. If you want to work, it's nice because there are not a lot of people working there. Down Puebla, you've got Panaderia Rosetta, for all your muffins, croissants and bread. Don't get quesadillas from the lady downstairs, there are better quesadillas around.
If you want comfort, an amazing location, the feeling of home, beautiful animals, lots of greenery, natural light, and a reliable host, stay at this place. You won't regret it.
