Gustavo and Malena offer a beautiful escape in the southern end of Coyoacan, with an incredible well-tended garden, situated in the heart of Candelaria, which is a pueblo with a small town feel. It's peaceful (with the exception of February for the Candelaria festivals which have fireworks going off day and night, but I honestly didn't mind because of the cultural elements).
Gustavo met with me before my stay began, as I was planning on habitating for several months, and he showed me the highlights of the neighborhood. There are many. I suggest going out; discovering what it has to offer, from local quesadilla puestos, to tortillerías where you can buy hot tortillas in bulk, made fresh in front of you, with a range of salsas to choose from, and while walking along the side roads you will discover grove stands with fresh fruits, and a full-blown farmer's market on Wednesday where I would stock up for the week at minimal cost.
You have everything at your disposal, and the light train is a short walk that takes you into Xochimilco conveniently. I walked to Metro Tasquena frequently when I was heading north say to Zocalo center or Bellas Artes, and it's good exercise, but you can take a combi bus there too for 6 pesos (25 cents).
I stayed safe and healthy during my stay, even considering the pandemic. This is largely because of Gustavo and Malena's attention to detail and cleanliness.
Their dog Wolfy is a complete love. He's a pug. You'll probably want to steal him but they won't let you because they know he's adorable.
I had tons of peace staying at this place. I was able to write a novel. i hope to return in the future.
Enjoy Candelaria, and stay here. It's a very special place.
