One of the highlights of our very first visit to Mexico City was our stay at Vicky and Pablo's studio--and we cannot imagine our accommodations being any other way.
This studio is located on the roofdeck of Vicky and Pablo's home in Escandon. This immaculate apartment is tastefully decorated, well-stocked with kitchen equipment and condiments, has a well-sized bathroom, plenty of natural light in the daytime, and is quite peaceful at night.
The location was perfect for us, as it is very central, but not too busy. Although it is in a principally quiet residential neighborhood (i.e. little goes on in the immediate area at night), it is very close to Tacubaya metro station, and is accessible enough that no place of interest in the city is more than 30 minutes away by Uber (which by the way, is ridiculously cheap here). Nights are very peaceful here, making it possible to get a good night's sleep after a full day of activities--just the way we like it. And by the way, the bed and pillows are extremely comfortable.
One important thing worth mentioning about the accommodations are the number of steps it takes to get from ground level to the studio. The studio is on the third level roofdeck, and to get up, you have to go through some narrow steps, including spiral steps to the roof. This place is definitely not for people who have trouble with climbing up narrow steps, or pack heavy (as it may get difficult to carry bulky luggage up the narrow spiral steps to the roof).
We absolutely loved our stay at Vicky and Pablo's. Pablo gave us local tips that definitely made our stay better (ask for his local food recommendations!). Despite the citywide water shutdown during our stay, we were well taken care of, and our hosts made sure we had an ample supply of water available to us.
The icing on the cake for our stay is definitely Vicky and Pablo's adorable tabby cat, Carlito. He would hang out in the studio with us, let us pet and cuddle him, and even welcomed us home every evening, after long days of exploring. He made the apartment feel so much like home. We already miss him!
As long as you don't have accessibility issues or aren't averse to pets (they also have a handsome mastiff, Canelo), I highly recommed Vicky and Pablo's apartment to anyone who wants a spacious, chic, centrally-located, clean, and homey place to stay in CDMX. We're definitely coming back.
