Pau's place was absolutely incredible! I have to start off with how great Paula is of a host. A great accommodation means a lot more when your host is so caring like Paula is! She was so accommodating and always attentive to anything we needed. The moment we got there, she was there to greet us with so much hospitality and care! She started off by showing us around her beautiful apartment. Everything looks accurate as the pictures show, even better in person! Her home is cozy, bright and clean! Fast wifi and cable to entertain you for a cozy night-in. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, plates, cutlery, etc; she even left us a bowl of fresh fruits to start off our stay! I tend to find that many places don't have a water purifier, which is crucial in Mexico, thankfully Paula has one in her apartment. The shower is clean and the water is actually hot and stays hot, not many places have that either! The bed and sheets are clean and very comfortable, I felt I was sleeping at home and woke up the next morning surprised thinking I had slept in my bed all along!
We were there for a week and enjoyed the location as everything is nearby. Market Medellin is just around the corner, a place where you can find everything you need from food, groceries to clothes and souvenirs! 'Ecobici' is great way to see the city and there is a bike station right in front of Paula's apartment building, which is incredibly convenient. We were about a 10-15 minute walk to calle Alvaro Obregon and La Condesa where you can find many hip bars, restaurants, galleries, local markets and shops including Mercado Roma, where you can catch all meals of the day and take the 'Turibus' to tour the city down to Coyoacan, a huge must! The lively Parque Mexico & Parque España are also within walking range, where you can find lots of greenery and activities (another must!). The neighbourhood streets are full of life as there is so much to see and do but quiet enough to come home and rest. Paula was kind enough to leave us Metro Cards to use for the time we were there; the Metro and Metrobus are very close by and come in handy!
Paula followed up every few days to make sure we were doing okay and if we needed anything. We did not have any issues and are so excited about our stay that we have booked with her again! Paula thank you for everything you did for us; your home truly reflects how much you love and care for all your guest and their experience of staying in Mexico City. You are a gem!
