Alejandra’s place was absolutely amazing. It was our first time visiting Mexico City and we were so pleased with our sweet little apartment above Cafe Milos.
Check-in was easy enough with one of the cafe employees welcoming us in. We had to wait about 5 minutes for our room to be ready which was no big deal. There was a separate entrance up to the apartments and the employee (sadly we didn’t catch his name!) kindly helped me carry my luggage to the 2nd floor.
The apartment itself was so charming, comfortable, and stylish. We really appreciated the little details like the extra umbrella at the door (for those evening downpours!) and comfortable towel robes in the bathroom. We didn’t end up using the kitchen (because the restaurants in CDMX are just too good) but it was nice to have that option.
The location was incredible — everything we needed and more was within walking distance. We loved feeling like we were perched among the trees in our apartment and were pleasantly surprised at how close we were to the park (so many cute dogs!) It also felt very safe and we enjoyed exploring the neighbourhood at all hours of the day.
We didn’t use the continental breakfast at Cafe Milos until the end of our stay and we really wished we did because it was delicious — fresh fruit, a chocolate croissant, and a coffee/juice — and surprisingly filling.
(Note: The same cafe at night becomes the most romantic spot for date night especially once the candles are lit and the live music is playing. They get the ambience just right).
We also have to give the housekeeping ladies a huge shoutout — they are so meticulous and thoughtful in their work. We so appreciated the daily housekeeping and being able to have our laundry done (and they even folded it!) was such a game changer. We had clean towels every day and they even left fresh flowers at our bedside table — just wow! They were also always very kind and friendly to us even though our Spanish is sadly very bad lol.
Alejandra is a fantastic host and always a quick text away. We stayed at another one of Alejandra’s apartments down the road (Casa Mexico 2) above Cafe Toscano and while it was also very nice, we definitely preferred our stay above Cafe Milos.
Overall, we fell in love with Alejandra’s apartment and the neighbourhood and we would move in forever if we could. We hope we will be back again someday soon — thank you!
