The accommodations with Surya were excellent. Initially, on-line, what attracted me to her Airbnb was the photographs of the layout of her Airbnb studio – which is an extension of her beautiful home. It was accurately presented, spacious, clean with an aesthetically pleasing design in the architecture. Her home is very safe and secure. Her spacious, townhouse is in a gated community with attendants always present to assist in entry and exit out of the complex. Moreover, she is located close to the heart of the quaint and culturally rich historical community of Coyacan, with Frida Khalo home within walking distance of her home. There are numerous restaurants in the immediate area, including Italian and Oaxacan food. There are two metro (subway) stations within walking distance which will take you to downtown, the historical district. Numerous shops abound, including book shops, gift shops, and a major market, selling Mexican handcrafts.
Surya proved to be an excellent host, warm, communicative, and caring, with always an interest with my comfort level and needs regarding my accommodations. She gave me ample guidance regarding transportation and places that I might be interested in visiting in Mexico City. She is educated, and knowledgeable about the artistic community in Mexico City. I had opportunity in meeting her daughter who is an emerging urban photographer, who, like her mother, is sensitive and congenial which made my stay with them even more pleasant.. I highly recommend Surya’s Airbnb.
