Staying at Paco and Maria's was one of the best decisions we made on our trip to Mexico. Upon our arrival in the D.F. we stayed in an apartment in the Centro Histórico (because Paco and Maria's was not available those days), and I can say without a doubt that our apartment experience does not compare to that of San Miguel. Staying with natives of the DF will always provide a superior trip to Mexico if those natives are as kind as easy to relate to as Paco and Maria. My husband and three children shared two rooms over our stay. My husband stayed a week and my children (age 10, 13, and nearly 15) and I stayed approximately 3 weeks. This house is located in a nice, quiet, safe, convenient neighborhood. It is close to Chapultepec Park, a huge grocery store (that has just about anything), several metro stops, and many restaurants. The space and home are expansive and beautiful as shown in the pictures. We never felt cramped in this space, in fact, it felt much roomier than our own home. I can tell you that by the end of the stay, the neighborhood and the house felt like home to us, and the dogs (Maya and Copit) felt like our own. That was largely due to our warm, generous, caring hosts. Paco and Maria were more than generous with the use of the house, the refrigerator, their movies (ha), and their time. They gave us a cell phone, answered any question, and helped us in every necessary instance. It is clear that they wanted us to have the best of possible stays, and in fact we did. The stay felt relaxed, allowing us our independence, while providing safety and support whenever we needed it. I really could not imagine a better place to stay in Mexico City. Paco and Maria are a lovely couple that we really enjoyed getting to know over several weeks. They are intelligent, funny, patient, down-to-earth, and genuinely great hosts. To be honest we were all sad to say goodbye to them and we will miss them here in Chicago. If you are looking for a place that feels like home away from home, you have found it. ¡Muchísimas gracias por todo Paco and Maria!
