Sophie's house is by far the most wonderful place we’ve ever stayed in — what a magical experience! It’s a true gem of Mexico City art deco architecture, beautifully restored with stunning period furniture and meaningful artwork and books. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms all perfect — including that stained-glass masterpiece — and there are so many lovely places to gather together or just relax quietly throughout the house. The location is also excellent — a short walk to everything in Hipodromo, Condesa and Roma Norte, and of course very easy to get an Uber to anywhere further afield. We loved getting morning coffee and a pastry from Saint Panaderia, and tamales and chilaquiles from Molino el Pujol — both a five-minute walk down the street.
Sophie went out of her way to make us feel welcome on arrival, and even printed some documents we needed. There was also fresh fruit and bread on arrival, and a bottle of wine to enjoy in the gorgeous secluded backyard garden, where we spent many mornings and sunsets relaxing while hummingbirds darted among the bougainvillea. Just blissful.
We adored every moment in this luxurious home and we can’t wait to come back next time we're in Mexico City!
