What a lovely place! Karin has curated with space that almost feels like an anthropological museum.
Every morning we woke to the sound of the birds in the nearby trees. We stayed during the rainier part of the year, and it was nice being so close to great food options and to have a fun place to wait out the rain, if needed. We don’t play piano well enough to play for the neighbors, but it had a nice tone when we played it. The piano and collection of percussion instruments are a rare and nice feature for a musician that is visiting the city.
The location is very convenient to a grocery store, food, and a train line. We had 3 meals on the block, including some of our favorite tacos during our trip and a great quesadilla. The apartment is also very close to Chapultepec park, which was nice for a morning run and the park is filled with museums and sights. Condesa has a lot to offer and nearby Roma has a number of great places as well, so if you are looking for a spot right between the park and Roma, this is a great choice. The beds are quite firm, so those used to a soft bed may want to plan accordingly.
This is a great spot for those that appreciate art, plants, and light and want to feel like a guest in the home of a great reader and art collector.
