This lovely house sits in the Condesa, arguably the loveliest and hippest neighborhood in Mexico City, on a quiet residential street bounded by shady boulevards. Within a few short blocks are restaurants and cafes of all kinds, from taquerias to one of the city's best Chinese restaurants (Asian Bay), from excellent coffee joints and handsome bars to Gastro pubs, Mexico City style. One of the city's best bookstores is also nearby, as well as two leafy parks, bicycles for rent (as in Paris) and public transportation. The Condesa district and the equally interesting adjoining Colonia Roma are at the city's center. Everything is easy to get to from here, especially with Uber, public transport or walking. For example, we walked to the renowned Anthropology Museum
(stopping for an ultra-tasty Israeli/Mideastern style breakfast at Merkava) in half an hour, part of it through the vast Chapultepec Park.
The house is just as advertised. Its Spanish revival style architecture is handsomely furnished with an eye to pleasing design and comfort. The beds are firm, the bathrooms well-provisioned and the water pressure in the showers is perfect. Downstairs there is a high-ceilinged living room furnished with contemporary artworks and comfy couches, a spacious dining room, a well-equipped kitchen and a grassy garden, a perfect place to have breakfast. The housekeeper made us a good breakfast and we also cooked ourselves dinner one day when we were tired of running around this ever fascinating city.
We feel that this is the perfect rental in Mexico City. It is a way to live in the city's most pleasant and centrally located neighborhood, in a handsome, art-filled house where the hostess has carefully thought of her guest's comfort. Go and see for yourself!
