We don't usually stay in airbnb's where we are sharing spaces, but we are glad we let this agenda go and booked in with Dora as it was a really relaxing and interesting place to stay. We met the other guests at various times and they were all very lovely and fascinating people who were pursuing studies at the local university.
Dora is super helpful and considerate, and speaks good English, which made communication simple, and was in touch very rapidly if we ever needed anything, but in fact we found the surroundings very easy to understand and check in etc very simple. The gate guards are friendly and courteous and when Dora saw us leaving early at check out for our next accommodation she immediately suggested we leave our bags with her so we could go for a look around the area one more time and not be encumbered by them...Dora serves a breakfast and provides tea, coffee etc...so you can fill in some corners before checking out the eateries available in abundance close by house.
Going north on Cerro del Agua there are some great restaurants and cafes...our favourite cafe was Ruta de la Seda which has two establishments within a few blocks of each other and serves incredible cakes, (fresh fig, matcha vanilla, coconut, all in delicious moist layers), and many other gorgeous pastries, all organic ingredients, and good coffee...we went there three times in our few days here and will come back for more!
We also loved Sushi Itto which wasn't too far from the cafe. And there's a huge supermarket about 3 blocks from the apartment, and only a short walk from Ruta de la Seda, La Comer Coyoacan, which has everything you could want. The area is great, we also really enjoyed visiting the local market straight down Filosophia y Letras where a cute little take away or cantina restaurant, Panepi's sold some delicious ciabatta style wraps with spinach and other delicious fillings. We drank fresh juices there, and ate fresh salsa as well as the wraps and Spanish style lasagne.
And as far as street food goes, the tacos around the corner from the 711 are really great!!
It was a lovely stay and we would come back for sure!
