The house: An amazing place! We stayed in this stylishly renovated, beautiful house for one week - four adults and two kids (3 years and 9 months) - and had a great time. Three floors of wonderfully furnished, thoughtfully decorated, and well planned space made it possible for every one of us to chose to socialise or to be alone for a while. The roof terrace with hammock, rocking chairs and bird’s singing is heaven for breakfasts and afternoon hangouts. The living room and study room are filled with daylight. And the kitchen is fully equipped. There seem to have been some minor problems before with some of the beautiful wooden interior (floors, doors), resulting in some swelling. But Sofia was about to deal with that when we left. Other than that, we did not come across any problems worth mentioning.
The surroundings: The house is situated in a small quiet street, only a few blocks from Los Viveros, the wonderful park in Coyoacan, but still just one or two blocks from plenty of cafes and restaurants. Approximately 10 minutes walk to a big mall with a huge supermarket.
The host: Sofia was a great host, easy to communicate with and very helpful. She offered to store our luggage for one week when we went out of town, although we weren’t checking into her house until a week later, and she organised a special bed on the floor for the 3 year old with pillows from one of the couches. When there were some minor problems, such as a non working chair, she immediately sent someone to fix it for us.
