Antonio and Maria’s place is a hidden gem in Mexico City. The apartment is beautifully furnished to a very high standard, including modern conveniences like Netiflix, Alexa, Bluetooth speakers, and high speed wifi. The decoration is contemporary and cool, and everything was brand new and functioning perfectly. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever stayed in, and the bathroom has a great shower and came equipped with nice toiletries and towels. The kitchen had everything you could need, including a great coffee machine. Everything was spotlessly clean and fully sanitised. The best part for me was the huge roof terrace which is perfect for relaxing in the sunshine with a coffee in the morning, or a BBQ in the evening. It was nicely decorated with cacti and an artistic mural on the wall. It also has a second toilet and an outdoor kitchen (in addition to the indoor kitchen) which was great for outdoor dining.
The location is ideal, in the middle of the beautiful historical area of Coyoacan. It’s a stone’s throw away from the Frida Kahlo museum, and close to a huge variety of excellent restaurants, shops, galleries, bars, and parks. The area felt very safe, and the property itself had 5 locks and security cameras so I always felt completely safe here. Antonio and Maria were the perfect hosts and were quick to communicate with us, speaking good English which was appreciated. They were very helpful and friendly, recommending things to try locally. This is without doubt the best place I’ve stayed in Mexico, I will definitely stay here again next time I visit the city!
