Loved my stay here, Sarali's place is relaxing and homey. She left a thoughtful welcome basket with snacks and fruit as well as water and a variety of beverages. Sarali was really accomodating with changing check in time and she left very clear instructions. Concierge knew I was coming and they were always nice and helpful.
What I loved most was the location. Situated on a quiet street in between Roma and Condesa there are tons of places to walk to. I started my mornings walking 10 minutes to Chapultepec Park where I would have a morning run and often see the same locals every day. The park is huge it's the biggest in Latin America, don't cab there.... WALK! On the way back to Sarali's I would stop at a local cafe around the corner for a vegan breakfast. They have other non vegan healthy food as well, I was just pleasantly surprised to have so many vegan choices. If you want pastries or a more traditional Mexican desayuno there are limitless options seconds away.
My days not doing little excursions like hiking up the Dinamo mountain range or the pyramids of Teotihuacan were spent walking and exploring. The neighbourhood is safe, I was a female travelling alone and I felt secure. People looked at me because I am very tall but in a friendly way that made me feel less alone. I got my hair cut at a local salon and he did a great job, got a facial and prices were reasonable and the service exceptional. Otherwise I enjoyed walking and eating and some shopping Carmen Rion a Mexican designer has a boutique nearby on Michoacan and I bought a beautiful linen outfit that I can't wait to wear back home when it's a little warmer.
Why I would go back to Sarali's? Location! Located on a quiet residential street, which means at night there is no noise and no matter what direction you turn there is something to see not to mention you're steps away from Parque Espana, and Parque Mexico and streets like Mazatlan, Colima, and Michoacan that are more lively and bustling. I loved my lifestyle, I could go home to Sarali's and then go out again because she is in the heart of many places. So many cafes and restaurants, I loved Los Loosers on the same street as Sarali's place, and Rosetta Restaurante on Colima which is about a 20 minute walk. You need to make reservations but Chef Elena is top drawer. Her restaurant is beautiful and the food is special and FRESH I gave up my vegan diet for Rosetta and would and will do it again.
I already miss waking up at Sarali's. Her place is perfect for a couple to have a beautiful time in Mexico City! She also has Netflix and Prime but I never used it because I was too busy enjoying the surrounding neighbourhoods. Can I go back tomorrow?
