The location is great, within walking distance of Parque de Mexico where we went almost every day during our stay—an area with lots of life and good restaurants. In the park itself there is a zen garden with relaxing music and hammock chairs we loved, various dance and martial arts classes going on, live music, families having fun with their children and dogs. We really liked Sr. Enrique’s suggestion of Frutos Prohibidos, one block from the park, for soup, wraps, brownies, and delicious fresh juice combinations and “aguas”. Very reasonably priced. Don’t miss the hot chocolate and churros place (Churrería El Moro) on the corner across from the park just before Frutos Prohibidos. There’s always a line but it’s worth the wait.
The place itself is charming, kitchen very basic with a refrigerator in the garage, few cooking items. I usually cook when I stay at AirBnBs, but I didn’t here, too many good restaurants in CDMX. Maria makes a wonderful breakfast of two eggs prepared as you like, often a side of black mashed black beans, a piece of toast or tortillas, fresh juice or fruit, coffee as you like. The bed is very comfortable, and the apartment stays cool because of the walls which are over a 15 inches thick. It’s a quiet street, at least while we were there from a Sunday night to a Friday night. Saturday may have more going on, as others have mentioned, but we didn’t experience any noise or street traffic at night.
Maria was very prompt at fixing any small issues or needs there might be.
My only caveat is, if you are a non-smoker, or have allergies, and are sensitive to the odor, you may have some discomfort as it permeates furnishing and carpeting in the living room area. Other than that, Maria keeps the place scrupulously clean and cleans the outdoor patio twice a day. Wish I had lamps like the hand pierced ones over the patio table!
