This was the perfect Airbnb experience!

I cannot speak highly enough of this family and their property. From the moment Hector Jr. picked me up at the bus station, I knew I had made the right decision. Upon arrival at the house, I was warmly greeted by Minerva and Hector. I was so very thrilled to actually be staying across the street from Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul! The room was even better than pictured. Minerva proceeded to explain the details of the room and property while all the while Hector Jr. translated in perfect English as my Spanish is not very good. The room was spotlessly clean, efficiently laid out, beautifully decorated and comfortable in all ways for my 6 night stay. The adorable little guest kitchen had everything you would need to prepare meals, although I chose to eat out that week and only used the nice coffee maker to make a cup of tea.

As if all this weren't perfect, my 2 days of touring with Hector Jr. was just stellar! Being an archeologist, I was thrilled to have him as my guide for an all day visit to Teotihuacan. His passion and knowledge exceeded all my expectations! And his patience of me climbing the pyramids was much appreciated. We had such a good time, he kindly agreed to take me to the Dolores Olmeda property and to Diego Rivera's Anahuacalli Museum the next day. Once again, his company, knowledge and reasonable tour prices made for a perfect day.

I so enjoyed staying right in Coyoacan. It was safe, charming and convenient. There are many good restaurants in easy walking distance from Villa Maria. My hosts were the best and it was a real treat to have a long conversation with them my last night there about our 2 different cultures. This is what an Airbnb experience should be! One little word of caution, the rooms are not totally sound proofed from each other, so be aware your neighbors can hear more than you might want them to. Do not hesitate to book with Minerva!
