If you want to get out of the usual touristy neighborhoods, stay here! I found San Rafael to be a beautiful mixture of families and innovative young folks (artists, cute coffee shops, etc.) Here you can find whole in the wall and traditional restaurants as well as art galleries.
As for Maca’s home it is beautiful, clean and very quiet. It’s wonderful being set off a courtyard—it felt private and safe. You can’t beat the rooftop (where the bedroom is located). If you have trouble with narrow, ladder-like stairs, this is not the spot for you as you need them to get to the roof. For me it was not a problem.
Maca is a super responsible, responsive and accommodating host who will ensure you are comfortable. I loved this place and am grateful it introduced me to my new favorite neighborhood in Mexico City. ❤️ 🇲🇽
