I really loved staying at Lucía's apartment. The neighborhood was really lovely--centrally located but very quiet, which is rare in Mexico City, and across from a park. Having so much green space nearby was relaxing. Lucía very generously allowed me to use a table in her studio to work (I'm also an artist) which was an incredibly nice thing to have while traveling. She was a really accommodating host, who hosted me without a lot of advance notice and stayed up really late to help me check in. We also got dinner together soon after I arrived, which was lovely. Because I'm used to being in a studio space every day, staying somewhere where I could be in the studio made me feel very at home. There were a lot of nice cafes close to the apartment and it even was within walking distance of the bookbinding workshop I took!
