There are so many reasons to love Salvador’s apartment any one of which would have been enjoyable enough, but all together they created an exceptional experience.
The location is fantastic. Tucked away in on a charming private street a few steps from the center of Coyoacán you are close to restaurants, museums, historic churches and other tourist attractions. You could easily fill several days with activities in the immediate area before branching out into the rest of city. There are plenty of books and other tourist information in the apartment to help you plan your days in Mexico City. The street itself is active in the evening so you can feel comfortable walking back from a restaurant, cafe or bar after diner.
The apartment itself is very clean and large, with two bedrooms, one with full bath and the other with half-bath, at opposite ends of a separate comfortable living room and full kitchen next to small courtyard. I’m a fan of Mexican art crafts so I especially loved the decor. The big fluffy bath towels and the water-purifying filter in the kitchen were bonuses. While we have the habit of removing our shoes when we enter a house we know it is not everyone’s custom so we appreciated the shoe sanitation station. The mobile WiFi device was another thoughtful feature.
The eat-in kitchen is very well-equipped to prepare meals and beverages. There is 4-burner stove with oven, a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster, drip coffee pot, blender utensils, knives and plenty of dishes, glasses, pots, pas, flatware and even some spices and sauces. There were snacks and drinks waiting for us on arrival. It is close to a small “mini-super”, the large Coyoácan market and a standard supermarket. The WiFi signal was strong and the cable TV signal clear. It’s really obvious that Salvador had carefully thought through everything a person might need for a comfortable stay and he asked us both before and after our arrival if there was anything else we needed.
We were only there for three nights but I could easily have enjoyed many more and will strongly recommend it to friends and family who visit Mexico City.
