staying with fabi is less like renting a room and more like visiting an old friend. she and abelardo consistently went above and beyond in hospitality and accommodation. i think the nights spent hanging out on the roof deck, drinking wine and grilling on the roof were the highlight of my stay. i made a few new awesome friends thanks to their convivial natures.

the house itself is perfectly located on a quiet block in roma norte, with great artwork and a lot of character. awesome tacos are right across the street — day and night — with all necessary amenities within a few blocks. i honestly can't imagine why anyone would choose a hotel, hostel, or apartment complex with this place on the menu.

also, fabi loves to sing when she comes home from work. her favorite song is "La La La La." you can always sing along — the words are easy to remember...
