We stayed 5 days at Trisha’s lovely apartment as the first leg of our honeymoon. It was our first visit to Mexico City, and we really enjoyed getting to know the Coyoacan neighborhood. This apartment is on the same block as Frida’s Casa Azul, which was a highlight of our trip. Don’t forget to buy tickets in advance to skip the line! We also enjoyed the Trotsky museum, which is 4 blocks away.
The room itself has a very firm bed, wonderful large bathroom, and fully stocked kitchen. We especially appreciated being able to use the washing machine. Trisha was out of the country for our stay, but was extremely responsive via the app and text.
The most famous neighborhoods (Condesa, Roma and downtown) are at least 1/2 hour Uber ride away, but there’s plenty to do, see and eat nearby for those days when you just want to stay close by. We really loved seeing Diego’s studio in San Angel (a 15 minute drive), and the Saturday market there is also worth a visit.
In Coyoacan, take Trisha’s advice and eat at Las Danzantes- it was the best meal we had in the city. The vegan restaurant across the street is surprisingly good, too.
Overall, it was a perfect first timer’s experience and we are already planning our next trip to the city.
