We loved this house & neighborhood! It was cozy and bright, and had a lovely kitchen for cooking. It was perfect for us, we had 3 people, and were happy to have 2 bathrooms and lots of space, and an outdoor area. We were not familiar with the area when booking (“Tlalpan center”), but were so pleasantly surprised with the neighborhood. There are little parks and lots of restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. We really enjoyed all the activity at the historic square-- lots of live music and celebrations were happening for Dia de Muertos while we were in town. There was also a wonderful mercado, small historical museum, and bookshop that were excellent.
We had a rented car, so were able to drive to the other areas of the city fairly easily once you get used to the traffic! It was usually between 40-1hr for many of the touristy activities like Chapultepec Park, the Frida Kahlo Museum, museum of Anthropology etc. Museo Anahuacalli was very nearby as was the Cuicuilco pyramid & it's small museum.
Erik was there to welcome us when we arrived, he was lovely and offered some suggestions of what to do and where to go! He was also super helpful and responsive to any messages we sent while we were there. We also spoke briefly to April on the phone, and it that was lovely as well.
If we head back to Mexico City, we will certainly be visiting Tlalpan and would recommend staying here!
