We loved our time in Pablo's studio. The stunning space, multiple terraces and balconies and sculptural, well kept gardens offer a peaceful, sensual haven. There are some very fun bars and restaurants in the area, but Mixcoac is off the beaten track so you won't find them listed in tourist books. We absolutely loved the nearby "El Caudillo" where all the delicious food is free- you simply pay what you would like to. They have live singing and a great ambience. Only thing to note is if you are a light sleeper (like I am), bring ear plugs. Depending on the day, the airplanes can fly quite low over the neighborhood. Pablo was a wonderful host, incredibly helpful and kind-- he even helped us get to ticketmaster when we needed to retrieve tickets for the ballet.
