I cannot say enough positive things about my stay here in Coyoacan with Minerva and her family! My boyfriend and I traveled to Mexico City for four days and enjoyed every single second of our trip. Villa Alfonsina is located in a quaint and culturally rich location with lots of food nearby and is literally across from Frida Kahlo Museum. It was the perfect room and location! The neighborhood is very safe and you can walk to the center of Coyoacan in less than 10 minutes. If you are interested in going into Downtown to see museums, Chapultepec Castle, or anything else, you can take the metro for 5 pesos (easy, just watch your belongings on the metro since it can get crowded) Uber or taxi. We found that taxi's are reliable but will be anywhere in the ballpark of $8-$10 depending on where you want to go.

Minerva, her husband and son were so warm and welcoming. The were such a genuinely nice family and made us feel right at home. They took the time to help us map out our day and gave us directions on how to get around the city. Our highlight was our tour with Hector at Tenotihuacan where the pyramids are. The tour with him is a MUST! He speaks excellent English and was very polite. I am not fluent in Spanish, but can communicate in very very basic Spanish. This was not an issue, so do not worry!

I was sad to leave their family, but I cannot wait to return and bring my family back to Villa Alfonsina! I loved this trip so much and feel like I am now part of their family. I cannot thank them enough for taking such good care of us.
