Marucha is one of the most gracious hosts I’ve met. She kindly moved my check in to 7am because my flight lands in Mexico at 5am. I also happened to fall sick during the trip and she made breakfast for me for two days when I was really ill, made sure I had everything I needed, brought me to a clinic for a covid test, etc. I was incredibly grateful for the care she gave, especially as a solo female traveller who could not speak Spanish. We bonded over travel stories despite not having a common language to communicate!
Marucha’s home is also beautiful and spotless. Her cleaner comes in every Friday, so if you are doing a longer stay like I did, it felt amazing to have the room refreshed every week.
The location is slightly further from the center of Mexico City, but there are plenty of great restaurants around. I would suggest that if this is your first time, to stay in Condesa or Roma. It would take about 20-30mins to get there from here, which is a tad too far for regular trips.
