We loved Mercedes' house so much, we stayed for a whole month! It is a mystical, magical get away in our favorite part of Mexico City, Desierto de Los Leones. The house is huge and so are the grounds, which was an ideal place for our 2 dogs to run and exercise all day. You are also super close to an array of hiking options, which we took frequent advantage of. The air is clean and crisp (gets you away from the pollution of the city), and you feel the peaceful energy of nature all around you. We made wonderful fires in the fireplace every night, and we used the very well stocked kitchen to cook. You really have everything you need there. If you plan on cooking, you'll need to go shopping down in town somewhere - you really are isolated up there. Which of course means you'll need a car. But you can always go over to the Convent and get delicious food, at least until 6pm or so. We have stayed and hiked all around CDMX and the surrounding areas (Estado de Mexico, Morelos, Cuernevaca, etc), and we don't know of a nicer set up than Mercedes. It's the perfect get away, yet still so close to the city. We can't wait to go back.
