Exiblioteca is everything an Airbandb should be — uniquely designed, clean and accommodating, and managed by an exceptional host. Gerardo met us at check-in and we immediately hit it off thanks to his friendly nature and nearly spiritual devotion to making this vacation rental distinct among all other hideaways in the heart of Mexico City. The light is super cool in different rooms and the appointments are thoughtful in merging tradition with a sort of modern eclecticism. You’ll love turning the corner to catch a small visual surprise in the form of an object of art or foliage emerging from a hand-sculpted vase. The sun room, perfect for reading or lounging about, and the bedroom, which was once a family library from the 1940s and features a tall ceiling that sheds soothing Mexican light, really stand out. We’ll stay here again if it’s available but be sure to book early as word of this gem gets around.
