Over the years, we've stayed at many Airbnbs in several countries, and our time at Frida's Neighbor's House was the best overall accommodation we've ever had. From the ideal location and beautiful decor to the hosts' generous hospitality, we can say that Graciela deserves the title of Superhost. We cannot recommend staying here enough; it is a perfect home base to explore Mexico City.
Our gracious HOST set the quality of this stay apart from the others. She stayed in close contact in case we needed anything but also gave us the freedom to come and go and do as we pleased. On our last day here, we stored our backpacks in the living room so we could visit the Museo Frida Kahlo after checkout. It was pouring rain as we left for the airport, so Graciela let us dry our coats before giving us a ride to the Metro station!
The LOCATION is perfect. It's only a five-minute walk to the Museo Frida Kahlo and Mercado de Coyoacán, ten minutes to the Centro de Coyoacàn and Mercado Artesanal, and within walking distance to several eateries and the Metro stop. We didn't realize how lively the city is after dark, so hearing the foot traffic on our first night encouraged us to stay out later and explore the neighborhood on our remaining nights.
The ROOM and house are beautiful and exactly like the photos. The king-sized mattress was super comfortable and helped us fall asleep to the sound of the traffic. The shower is clean with hot water and fresh towels waiting. After a long day of sightseeing, we enjoyed sitting in the inner courtyard with a cup of coffee and the rain tapping on the glass ceiling.
Access to PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION is good; we walked 10 minutes to the Coyoacán Metro stop every day (sometimes cutting through the mall) and took the subway to the Centro Historico and Polanco with our Metro card. Next time, we'll try taking the Metrobus.
We recommend Frida's Neighbor's House to our friends, family, and anyone who will listen. Staying with Graciela is like staying with family; as long as you're here, you're safe, and someone cares about you.
