I stayed at Paco and Maria Jose's beautiful place from June 30 thru July 9th. For the second part of my stay, I was joined by my mother. Although we had both traveled widely around Mexico, she had never visited D. F. She had also never booked a room through Airbnb.com.

We both had a fabulous time. We took Paco's suggestion and went to Xochimilco for a boat ride, among other things. There is so much to see in Mexico City that it was good to have someone to help narrow down the possibilities. Mom loved the house, especially the two dogs.

Yolanda, as always, was an indispensable part of the experience. Every day, there was a new arrangement to the breakfast table or bedroom. Maria Jose was also very helpful and kind.

I would recommend to anyone visiting Mexico that Airbnb, and particularly this place, is a superior choice over a hotel. I hope that we can return the hospitality some day, either in Atlanta, or Louisiana.
