We had an amazing time in Mexico City - and that was largely due to all the help Paulina gave us. As a family with two children, we felt especially welcome in Paulina's house, and in showing us how to get along and around in Mexico we had an extra helping hand that made all the difference. The city is a truly great place but hard to navigate and quirky beyond belief so we felt we were pretty lucky.
The house is a stunning place to stay: it is peaceful in a noisy city, it is in pristine condition while still reflecting its era and it has a leafy oasis like courtyard. The architect O'Gorman was hugely talented - his paintings and murals are outrageously good and the house reflects this, so the opportunity to reside in a house that is part of a great painter/architect's work is unique and much appreciated.
The hospitality and the house were faultless; I couldn't recommend it highly enough - we would be back in a flash if we could.
