WOW! Where do I even begin? Hands down best stay in my entire life (and I travel a lot).
Amazing value, extremely walkable, gorgeous space and super friendly roommates.
Location: Del Valle is a safe, central neighborhood, albeit a bit more quiet than bustling Condesa or Centro Historico. Honestly, after long days of exploring the city, you'll be grateful to go home to a quiet place that allows for a good night's rest! Everything you need is walking distance, including public transit.
The Space: Common spaces were always kept organized and clean. I noticed Stefano working diligently everyday to ensure this. The house is beautiful with tons of character and unique details. You enter through the kitchen/dining area and walk through the backyard to get to your room (+ private bath), which is separate from the rest of the house. Just in case you're allergic, there are 3 super friendly dogs on the premises (and I, not a dog person, had zero issues with them.)
Communication/Interaction: Stefano and his co-host Kevino were extremely prompt and attentive to all my inquiries prior to and after my arrival. If you're a young, solo traveler, you're going to love Stefano's place because him and his roomies are the best! We played games, had a BBQ, went skating - it was awesome! I really appreciated this as a social person who didn't have many friends in the area. However, there was another Airbnb guest who kept to herself and everyone was super respectful of that, so don't worry if you'd rather be alone.
In short, don't hesitate to book Stefano's place. You're going to enjoy your stay and fall in LOVE with Mexico City!
