This was my first trip to Mexico City, and I'm so happy that the first place I stayed was Alejandro's lovely home. It was fantastic. The layout of the building is so nice, mixing privacy with lovely interactions with the host and the other guests. The roof deck is the perfect place to eat breakfast, have an evening beer and chat with the other guests, or just chill for a few moments while absorbing some sunshine and the sounds of the neighborhood.
Speaking of the neighborhood, the apartment is close to so many wonderful things -- a beautiful park, bars, music venues, myriad dining options, dining options for getting a snack on the way to your intended dining options -- that you likely won't have enough time to visit them all.
Our room was cozy and comfortable -- we felt right at home. Although the apartment faces the street, you can make it as quiet as you want by utilizing the heavy window shade. Having our own bathroom and shower was a nice bonus, too.
Alejandro was such an accommodating and communicative host. Check in couldn't have been easier, and he gave us tips for places to eat in the neighborhood. When we wanted to add an extra night to our stay, he made that incredibly easy, too. He's a great host, and the main reason that we'll be staying at his place again on our next visit.
