This place could not have been in a better location. Walking distance to lots of good food/drink and cute neighborhoods. Close to the metro. The park and fountain is right outside and there is a really pretty walkway to Melis home which makes every morning beautiful.
Meli accommodated my very early flight which was so kind! She left out filtered water for me. She had guidebooks on her shelf for her guests.
The apartment is full of interesting and beautiful things. Art on the walls, woven baskets, sculptures all around. There is a lot of love in the home. It's not a modern or new space, so expect creaks in the floorboards, and other little quirks. It's no frills, but has everything you need.
Unfortunately, Meli and I didn't get to hang out too much with our schedules. She was super responsive over text about anything I needed though. Funny enough I barely ran into the other guest. I think most people are probably too busy exploring the amazing place México City is. This is prefect if you're looking for a spot close to everything you need to see. It's easy to go in and out. Maybe a little less easy to hang out with other guests etc if that's what you're looking for.
The dog and cat are very sweet. It was so sweet hearing his little paws when I came in. He does bark at guests now and again but Meli had let me know and I knew not to be alarmed. Good to note if you're nervous around dogs. Also the spiral staircase to the home could be difficult for some especially with bags, or after too much Mescal hehe. I didn't mind it. Really great value, I'm so glad I stayed here. Thanks Meli!
