Jose’s sweet rooftop apartment was the perfect home to explore Mexico City from. The location was great and the surrounding streets felt very safe. You enter up a steep spiral staircase that winds through his home, but the apartment itself is very private. We walked to a nearby market our first morning to collect supplies to make breakfast for our few days here, which allowed us to start our days slow on the sunny deck. One note of advice - we had a tricky time opening the gate to the courtyard when we got in late. He typically meets guests personally when they don’t arrive in the middle of the night so that probably isn’t an issue most of the time, but if you’re letting yourself in just keep in mind that the right door of the gate just needs a very heavy shove.
