Flavia and Mauricio’s place is located in the Chinatown of Mexico City. It’s in a beautiful, brand new building off at the end of a well-lit, populated callejón (alleyway). We brought our car and parked it about a block away from the apartment, and forgot about it until it was time to leave the city.
Though compact, the apartment is beautiful and well-thought out. I loved being able to open the top of the door/windows to let in fresh, cool air in the evening, and swing them open in the mornings. The shower was well-appointed with soap, shampoo and conditioner. It was also spacious. Though floor space is limited, there are plenty of storage options for bags and clothing. Netflix on their couch was perfect for winding down after a dinner in la Roma, or coming back from the rooftop, which was a perfect place to share a bottle of wine and take in views of the city. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the lamps on either side of the bed along with the cube storage cubbies. It’s the little things that really make this place special. A large, cold water bottle in the refrigerator rewarded our first walk to the apartment with bags. Again, Flavia and Mauricio must have thought of everything!
Just a few blocks from the apartment is the Palacio de Bellas Artes, and a short Uber ride will take you to all of the other hotspots in the city. Do not be put off by the surrounding downtown area when you first arrive. The location really shines when you want to take a walk and you’re close to everything.
10/10 would stay again! Thank you Flavia and Mauricio!
