Casa Orozco far exceeded our expectations during our recent trip to Mexico City. The house is beautiful and well-appointed, stylish, clean and in one of the best locations in CDMX. This is no ordinary house. Several touches throughout the house truly make it a home, from the paintings and prints on the walls (by Orozco himself!), to all the books, furnishings, and COLORS, it is definitely a magical place to come home to and relax after a day of sightseeing and shopping/eating.
Situated in a quiet neighborhood, the house is not so far away from the bustle of the city. Within walking distance are cafes and bars, the supermarket and pharmacy, and the Artisanal Market as well as the new Mercado Roma Coyoacan (recently featured in the New York Times for its many food offerings). The Metro is about a 15-20 minute walk and Uber is, of course, convenient and reliable.
Our group consisted of six people, myself and my husband, and our two children (aged 18 and 13), as well as two of my friends. We came to celebrate my 50th birthday and stayed in Mexico City for eight days. Even so, the house was so big and comfortable, we never got in each others' way! (Love that each of the three bedrooms had its own bathroom!). Moreover, the house had everything we needed, fully because our hosts, Mariana and Gaby, truly made everything as seamless as could be. First, there is a binder with useful information about the Casa, the neighborhood, restaurants and popular attractions in Mexico City. Next, communication was easy and both Mariana and Gaby were so accommodating to our needs. As someone who was celebrating a milestone birthday, I had contacted them regarding some extra touches I was hoping to have (i.e., a catered dinner, a cake, etc.) and not only were they were quick to respond, they provided me with a list of options for all my requests! Mind you, as someone who has never been to Mexico City before, I was truly fortunate to have been hosted by such amazing people. Their hospitality is top-notch!
Needless to say, I highly recommend Casa Orozco! So much so that we are already planning our next visit!!!
