Rita is one of the nicest hosts we have ever met. She contacted me the day before our arrival to make sure she was around to help us settle in smoothly. She was also probably the most responsive host I’ve had, always answering my messages within minutes.
Most previous reviews mention the amazing location and it is indeed the best, it’s a safe and beautiful neighborhood. I do want to write about the place, besides being beautifully decorated, it’s all about the details that welcomes you to Cidade del México.
I’m traveling with 2 kids (6 and 9 years old) and this place was very spacious for us. There were cold beers, water and juice in the fridge, fresh fruits and little sweet Mexican treats. Don’t get fooled by the kitchen size in the photos as it is fully equipped. I’m a chef and love to explore markets wherever I go, so I end up buying lots of ingredients to cook at home and didn’t miss any utensils. Rita was so kind to leave me a written list of gourmet markets around us and I had a blast checking them - do not miss Catamundi, Da Silva and Villa de Patos.
As we were staying for 2 weeks and traveling light, I did laundry a few times during our stay. For the sake of clarity, the washer/dryer is not inside the apartment but it is still essentially private (shares with one other apartment she owns) and located two floors down. That wasn’t an issue at all and I wouldn’t trade this apartment for another one for this detail.
I can’t wait to be back in Mexico City and will be staying at one of Rita’s home for sure!
