The apartment, which is carved out of the wing of a soulful 19th century farmhouse, is comfortable (including the futon) and quite beautiful, with many historic details still in tact. The soaring ceilings provide the studio with a feeling of spaciousness. The apartment is very quiet and bright and its windows look out on the wild, fecund courtyard, with abounding bougainvillea: a very peaceful view. Its location, on a cobblestone street in the middle of the charming San Angel historic district, is kind of perfect -- if peacefulness, charm and history are what you're looking for. I met the enthusiastic and kind Marisol when I arrived and she was in touch and available throughout the rental. A particularly delightful part of my stay was getting to know Marisol's father. He tells great stories.
