"We stayed in Arlette’s house in Coyoacan for 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! The house is well equipped with standard amenities (brand new microwave, dishwasher, gas stove, clothes washer and dryer, flat screen TV and WIFI, etc.) and is very comfortable. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and quiet, and each has an en-suite bathroom. One of our favourite features of the house was its well-kept backyard where we usually took our lunch or read a book in the sun in the company of the 2 cute little chihuahuas.
Arlette’s family lives right next door, which was great. Whenever we needed anything (an extra blanket or some recommendations for a good restaurant), her mum (Rocio) or brother (Fernando) would respond fast and would always ensure we were 100% comfortable and happy. It was great having them close by. It also allowed us to practice our Spanish! But rest assured they can communicate with you in English without a problem!
The house location is ideal and convenient: a stone-throw away from the heart of Coyoacan (Jardin de Hidalgo) with its many shops, cafés and restaurants. The house is close to a supermarket, drycleaner, taxi stand (“sitio taxis”), etc. The area is safe, family-friendly and really lively with cultural events, concerts, free exhibitions, etc. every weekend or so! What a treat! Last thing on the location - you can easily travel to and from Mexico city centre with the underground. The stations aren’t very far.
