My experience in San Angel was heavenly! This quaint district of México City is more than I could have imagined. It was a beautiful welcome to my first time in the city and Martha and everyone who worked to make my stay comfortable were so very accommodating. Martha especially went above and beyond with her hospitality. From our initial connection and conversations via email to my arrival, throughout my stay and departure, she was so very generous.

I originally had planned to stay in the studio portion of the house, but there was a mix up in reservations. Martha was quick to accommodate and make sure I was comfortable. It was very much appreciated and again, a big part of me falling in love with such a beautiful city.

I was greeted by her wonderful staff. The little touches made all the difference. The decor was perfect and made me feel as though I was experiencing an authentic experience. Their collection of art and library of books ranging from history to art, all things Mexican and travel around the world, was more than impressive and made for some wonderful down time in the apartment.

The entire house was very clean and kept that way daily, which was a very nice service. I had 24 access to everything I needed. The wireless connection was a bit spotty throughout, but Martha worked to rectify quickly and nothing that was too much of a hindrance. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was always delightful and I most appreciated the access to drinking water and coffee and tea. It certainly felt like my home away from home.

The bed was extremely comfortable. The shower, warm and great water pressure. Excellent toiletries. Again, the attention to detail was phenomenal. It was nice to feel so welcomed.

San Ángel itself is a quiet neighborhood with close proximity to all needs. It reminds me of my home in Charleston, SC, with the cobblestone streets and quintessential colonial architecture. The colors are marvelous. I was traveling alone and felt very safe, using standard safety precautions. I did have a tough time getting a taxi from the house at times via various Apps, but it was pretty easy to call one and there were there quickly.

Martha and Pancho have a beautiful residence that is nothing short of spectacular. Though I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Pancho, Martha made me feel as though I have a friend for life and a home in México City. There was also a wonderful guide printed with lots of great suggestions!

I am most grateful for such a wonderful experience! Thank you, Martha, Pancho and all of the wonderful family in San Ángel!

Hogar dulce hogar! Home sweet home!
