I will SO miss the rooftop garden! The view and the vibe is phenomenal! The little gym and laundry are on the same level as the garden which is really nice. There’s an elevator as well as stairs and cheerful security staff upon keyed entry. When we ventured out for the first time I was taken aback by how very close the apartment is to the main attractions of Centro Historico. The amenities and location alone make this apartment a great value!
Francisco is an easy and ultra helpful host! He offers many recommendations. Use them! We also found areas just off the gringo track with yummy street food and vibrant city life very close to the center without having to be too adventurous!
I have to say that we avoided “El Mayor”…. A rooftop restaurant that looked like a tourist trap, until we had a small window before our flight on a weekday morning and needed to grab a light bite. There were only a few other tables seated at the time and setting is quite nice. The view offers an overhead exhibit of the templo mayor which is currently closed to public entry. We had fresh fruit, juice, concha & nata. I could eat this every day! There are an abundant amount of eateries close to the loft, however. Again, we found Francisco’s recommendations to be on point!
The museums, architecture, culture and mild temperatures make for a truly magical experience in this part of the city. Francisco’s loft could not be an easier place to base your Centro Historico adventure from! We experienced a good bit of rain during our visit, but it didn’t stop us at all. The cozy loft has abundant hot water and a nice, airy feel as the little terrace doors allow you to open up the apartment and let the fresh air move through. Comfy bed, too. The loft has the internet router in it and it was really fast and reliable.
All in all, we had a great stay!
