Surya's place is incredibly well designed and tranquil. The room is in a house inside a gated community, and there is a 24hr doorman to let anyone in or out. The complex itself is large and apart from the main road, but close enough where you can walk to Starbucks or a half mile to a market or cafe if needed. Surya's place is also very close to the Museo de Frida Kahlo and the other historic locations commenorating the life and art of Frida and Diego.
The room is lovely, a suite really - with a bed, bookshelves, a medium table and chairs for writing or working, a bathroom, and closet area for your suitcase and clothes. Truly, plenty of space for one to two people - I almost felt like I was staying in a studio apartment sized room at times. The house is almost always quiet and the housing complex is as well, apart from the occassional bell at the gate, which is charming actually.
I adventured and ate out most days and so I didn't spend much time in the other parts of the house, but what parts of the house I did see were incredibly decorated. There is a cleaning person who comes every other day or so, just to tidy and remove the trash, change the sheets etc. Finally, the amount of light in the room and cleanliness of the space really did it for me, I woke up every morning feeling completely refreshed and ready. Thank you again Surya for letting me stay in your space! I appreciate it.
