Location:
- This area was absolutely perfect. Tons of cute restaurants and cafes in walking distance. A Gin Gin location is only a block away...
- There's also a currency exchange 2 blocks away if you're visiting from outside of Mexico and forgot to do that at the airport.
- Uber pickups and dropoffs were very quick and easy.
Space:
- The space is really nicely decorated, and not sterile looking or tacky lick some Airbnbs. Everything was modern and there were some gorgeous touches like the tile work, wood floors, and ceramics.
- There is a glass ceiling (not that kind!) that you can open via remote control. We didn't end up using it a ton because we were in and out, and didn't want to forget and leave it open in case of showers, but we had a lot of fun when we did use it.
- The bathrooms are a DREAM. Gigantic tubs in 2 rooms, and 2 teak floored showers. Gorgeous. Also lots of bathrooms is great for a larger group...in our group of 9 people no one needed to compete for shower time.
- The outdoor areas are also lovely. One is off the master bedroom, and we used that less but it was great for morning coffee and to work from. The rooftop is amazing, plenty of table space and seating (and lovely greenery). It was very comfortable for a group of 9 and we were even serenaded by trombone music one day!
- We appreciated that there was a good mix of different types of rooms. The first floor and rooftop rooms were great for people that wanted to be more private, and the triple and double were great for the socializers. We ended up using the murphy bed in the master so that more people had access to the glamorous master bath.
- This is a 3 story + roof place, which we didn't mind at all but may be a consideration if folks in your group can't manage stairs well.
Other things:
- When you first check in, Dani & Gerry's housekeeper will give you sets of keys and a tour (it's good to know how to work the retractable ceiling!), though there isn't currently a lockbox or other good way to transfer sets of keys between the group without meeting up/being at the house.
- The kitchen is well stocked with the basics, so no need to stress about picking up salt or oil. The coffee machine is also really cute, and there's one in the master bedroom as well as the kitchen.
Overall this was the perfect place to stay for our group of 9...unfortunately when I come back to Mexico City it will need to be with a big group so we can rent this place again!
