I immediately felt at home. Maru is the heart of Art Residence with her delicious breakfasts and her concern for comfort. The place, a stately home turned B&B, is thoughtfully put together. Mexican down to the Oaxaca design on the tile floors. And great lovers of the arts - there's lots of it on the walls, on textiles, as furniture, and even as guests: one of my B&B mates was Charleston S.C. jazz singer Leah Suárez, encouraged by Art Residence owners Martha and Pancho. Studio 2, a little charmer, can be claustrophobic, but there's tons of common area - even a pretty terrace. And the city awaits. San Ángel comes alive on Saturdays, but is sweet every day. Art Residence is walking distance from several museums, many eateries, the mercado, beautiful parks and churches. A lovely experience all around.
