Janet's casa was a perfect choice for my son & I but is spacious enough for 3 to 4 people. It was the highlight of our trip to CDMX. It is an old, 2 storey townhouse very close to great restaurants, shops & beautiful parks in Roma Norte. The street is quiet day & night except for the occasional barking of a neighbor's dog.
All the rooms are large, comfortably furnished & filled with interesting artwork. The master bedroom , which includes a sitting room/study with a fireplace, is huge & lovely. The kitchen, though a little worn, is warm & inviting. There is a 2 piece powder room and a stair to the roof off the kitchen. Janet lives here when not renting it out so all the spaces have personal touches that other casas, only being used for rental income, do not have. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for a long stay.
For me, the best part was the large, plant filled terrace which one enters through a locked gate from the street making it & the house secure, private & quiet. It is shared with the 2 other adjoined townhouses also located inside the gate. The occupants of these houses are British expats & their Mexican partners, all of whom were very interesting and informative about CDMX, especially their Roma Norte area.
Janet was a perfect host. Very warm, generous & helpful. She answered all our messages promptly before & during our stay and provided coffee, bread, eggs & juice so we wouldn't need to run out for food as soon as we arrived. She even told us to help ourselves to her Mezcal!
I would definitely stay at Janet's if in CDMX again.
