I have stayed in a number of Airbnbs, and I have liked them all, but Martha’s place is one of the very best. I stayed for a month and miss it after one day! She has so many special touches that make the studio terrific, such as a cast-iron frying pan (!), large and soft towels, and very cosy throws on the bed. For a studio, it has everything I needed and more—-fridge, table and chairs, coffeemaker, electric kettle, microwave, induction burner (loved it and will buy one for myself), plates and utensils, plentiful bottled water, comfortable bed, large shower, ample storage, shared washing machine with a line to air-dry my clothes (when did I last do that?), super-strong WiFi, and the two most lovable pugs ever. Oh—-and real art hangs on the walls! What a treat! The location is ideal—-a few blocks from the center of Coyoacan and another few blocks from a major street for easy access to transit and shopping—-yet the beautiful house is on a very quiet, leafy street and itself is so quiet. Martha is a gracious host, and Tonia is there to offer smiles and help of every kind (along with patience for my faulty Spanish). This wasn’t my first extended stay in Coyoacan, but I have already booked my return to Martha’s place. Thank you, Martha, Tonia, and the doggies!
