The wedding of a family member just south of Mexico City provided the perfect opportunity to visit Mexico City this past May. Given we were travelling for a wedding, we were a large group and thought it would be most enjoyable to be able to stay in a more home-like setting – fortunately Maria and Paco were willing to host our large group, so we booked our first Airbnb accommodation ever.

Right from the time we booked online Maria and Paco were very responsive and helpful. Anytime we had a question it was answered almost immediately. Their flexible check-in time meant no waiting around after our flight and we were able to settle in right away. The house itself is beautiful and allowed us to spend evenings together as a family. As an added bonus, Maria and Paco’s housekeeper Justina was kind enough to wash our clothes, make beds, and clean the dishes so we could just focus on enjoying our time in Mexico City – I only hope we didn’t keep her too busy.

The surrounding neighbourhood had everything we needed in close proximity – restaurants, cafes, supermarket, subway stations – and was within walking distance to what was the most important attraction for our family with young children: Chapultapec Park. We were fortunate to have new in-laws in Mexico City to give us advice and help us to navigate, but Paco was quick to provide advice and assistance whenever requested. I would recommend Paco and Maria as hosts should anyone I know travel to Mexico City. Thank you Paco and Maria.
