Eugenia was an amazing host and super kind. I was running late to meet her and she waited for me despite having someplace to be. My husband got sick from food at Xochimilco (be cautious) and she offered help for this. We ended up going to a pharmacy on Xicotencatl and he saw a doctor for 50 pesos who prescribed a treatment that fixed him right up.
Her place is beautifully designed with an amazing location near the zocalo. We had just spent a week in La Condesa prior to arriving to Coyoacán and Eugenia’s home and the neighborhood was so peaceful with friendly neighbors on the street. We slept in more than we expected to because we were so comfortable.
We enjoyed breakfast a few times at El Beneficio de la Duda around the corner and were mildly star-struck when we saw a celebrity there (Paulina from La Casa de Las Flores). Don’t miss El Museo de la Cultura Popular!
