Casa Veracruz was the best Airbnb experience I have had so far.
There were so many thoughtful details I appreciated that made the experience exceptional. From the amazing mezcal welcome cocktail and fresh flowers to the fresh local breakfast pastries. Teri even left some fresh fruit, beers, tortillas and Oaxaca cheese in the refrigerator, which came in handy for a quick quesadilla after our long morning of travel.
The condo was beautifully designed and decorated. The bathroom products were great quality and there was excellent water pressure and hot water, which I read was a problem at some other local hotels. The bed was even more comfortable than my own bed. I was worried about the lack of AC, but I wasn’t hot at all the entire time, even though it was July. There was a narrow spiral flight of stairs to the condo if one has mobility issues or heavy baggage, but it was fine for us. Check in and check out was extremely easy.
The neighborhood was so charming and a fantastic central location to Chapultepec Park and museums, Polanco, Roma and Condesa. We felt very safe. There are tons of restaurants within a very short walk and so many sites just an inexpensive Uber ride away. Teri was very responsive and helpful with suggestions and tips before our arrival. We even ended up having an incredible breakfast at Galatea Bistro near Casa Azul, which is connected to the bakery she uses for her welcome pastries and we were very impressed.
Casa Veracruz was an incredible home base for our first trip to Mexico City, and it will definitely not be our last!
