After a long hiatus from travel, we embarked upon a trip to CDMX, with a bit of trepidation. With the recommendation of host Danyra, we were picked up at the airport by Antonio, who gave us a wonderful introduction to the mysteries of Mexico to follow. Little did we know how true this was to be. The wonderful and quiet, but strong Luis met us at the door, whereupon we walked into a truly charming house. As we all slowly gathered, it became apparent the house became the catalyst for an extraordinarily enchanting week. One might argue, with conviction, that the heart of the home, Tonita, set us off daily into the unknown with a scrumptious breakfast and a smile that would warm anyone’s heart. We were ready for anything the day was to bring us!
We were three couples (and a fourth could easily be accommodated in this home), who strongly bonded and believe the house allowed for our independent and varied personalities. The team of Danyra, Tonita, Antonio, and Luis were huge influences on the dynamics of the week, as well as a wealth of information. The memories of the week in this house will always be with us and plans are already begun for another visit.
The house is perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood, with all of Colonias Condesa and Roma easily beckoning us with just short walks to all they have to offer. In fact all of CDMX was easily accessed. We were close to excellent restaurants, parks, museums, and an enormous Spanish language bookstore. It’s only 2 blocks to the Patriotismo Metro station. Take it midday when it’s not so busy. For 5 pesos – it's a bargain!
We returned home with a wealth of fond memories of our trip, all of which started at the house. Thank you so much, Danyra, for opening your home to us.
