My stay with Andrea and her parents was nothing short of an incredible experience! My clothes and room were kept clean on a daily basis, and every question / concern / need for directions around town were met promptly and enthusiastically. Every member of this family showed the attentiveness and professionalism that makes a great Airbnb host, as well as the openness and warmth requisite of a good friend. By the time I left, I truly felt as though I had gained not only a great deal on accommodations in Mexico City, but a group of people I could easily trust and rely upon for any future adventures in this incredible part of the world.

As for the effects of staying with Andrea and her family on my experience as a graduate student within Mexico City, I found that the location of the house was very beneficial to experiencing not only the best of the city due to its proximity to the Metro, but also of the Coyoacán neighborhood in a distinctly immersive way. Put simply, I found it hard to choose daily between sitting at my favorite café by a charming 16-century plaza and cathedral, or walking the same distance to the train station to explore other areas of the metropolis. It's a good problem to have, trust me!

In sum, I would recommend staying with Andrea and her family wholeheartedly, and have certainly saved this listing myself for future travels. It's a lovely place, filled with lovely people, with easy access to both the largest and smallest wonders that Mexico City has to offer -- who could ask for anything more?
