First thing first... this is the best Airbnb I have had the pleasure of staying at in my life so far. If you are looking for a base to explore Mexico City this is the perfect place (and if you love coffee you MUST stay here) . Firstly, the room provided enough space for the three of us and featured many wonderfully detailed coffee maps, an extra mattress if you need it, and a beautiful personal library to peruse with literature ranging from interesting nonfiction (I enjoyed Guns Germs and Steel), to memoirs, fiction (I perused Cloud Atlas), and a full range of Lonely Planet guides. Now I would be remiss not to mention the adorable cats. There are two, and they are soo friendly 😻 The area is La Condesa which offers very safe streets that I felt comfortable walking around even at night and all kinds of dining, coffee, and bar options. Overlooking this area is a very peaceful balcony filled with flowers and frequented by hummingbirds (if you smoke this is a perfect place to do it, and if not then it’s a perfect place to sip your coffee 😉) Finally, I have to talk about the wonderful residents who live here. Alfredo, Maja, and their wonderful daughter are great at making you feel at home. Additionally; Maja has a wealth of knowledge from tips on Mexico City, to knowing more than anyone I’ve ever met about Coffee, to just all kinds of great tales from her interesting life, and tips that helped me on my own journey as a student filmmaker. Overall, like I said this was an amazing experience and I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.
