Susana's home is one of the loveliest I have seen in Mexico City; I felt very, very lucky to call it mine for the month of February. From the interior garden courtyard that illuminates the whole space, to the beautiful furniture, art, and objects, the artisanal tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms, the gorgeous dishes and a clay water filter that made drinking tap water so easy, everything felt so thoughtfully and tastefully considered. The bedroom I slept in features an entire wall of windows, and the light is amazing.
Susana is a kind and helpful host. She arranged to have a friend meet me when I felt nervous about arriving with two suitcases and my dog (it turns out the lockbox was super easy to use), and even found me a manual for the washing machine when I couldn't figure it out :) And I would be remiss to not mention the roof deck with large potted succulents and lounge chairs. It's a true oasis in one of the city's most beautiful neighborhoods, with a dog park across the street.
