The Colonia Hipódromo in the trendy Condesa district is a beautiful, leafy neighborhood more bourgeois than bohemian, with fewer strollers than Park Slope but maybe more dogs. We loved it! It's within easy walking distance of the Bosque de Chapultepec, the sprawling city park in the heart of Mexico City. The apartment is around the corner from Parque México and sits above a boutique chocolate shop where I spent most of my money.
The apartment was perfect in every way and it was a serene place to return to after long days of trampsing about the city. There were four of us and there was more than enough room for us to spread out. The apartment was clean and comfortable with lots of natural light from the windows opening onto Amsterdam, the wide avenue that encircles the neighborhood. Rocio was there to let us in when we arrived. She was a wonderful host and the many recommendations she provided were invaluable. Wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend it.
