Casa Zapata was a wonderful refuge and base for our first visit to CDMX. This home has been in Alejandro's family for some time and he shows great pride in it. The location is fantastic -- convenient to great cafes and restaurants, shopping, groceries, parks. Alejandro is a warm and very responsive host who went out of his way to make our experience pleasant. Our private room was stylish and had great light. Everything was clean (and my wife and I are very particular about this!). A lovely deck provided a nice place to relax after a long day of exploring. Other private rooms have access to the shared spaces (kitchen and deck) but I liked the opportunity to meet a few other travels (and we mostly didn't see anyone). The neighborhood relative to others is generally quiet although light sleepers should be aware that, like most places in a big city, there can be a fair amount of outside noise. This is out of Alejandro's control and seemed to be mostly constrained to the weekend. This would definitely not stop me from coming back to stay here again. Thank you, Alejandro!
