My husband and I stayed with my parents in Marco’s home and had a wonderful time. He has a very comfortable and spacious home with a great patio area for large gatherings. The showers have instant hot water with great water pressure, which I loved. Marco is great at communicating and responds to your messages right away.
His home is located in one of Mexico City’s most prestigious and safe neighborhoods-Polanco. It’s conveniently located across the street from Costco, a shopping center with many fast food restaurants, and an amazing supermarket-Chedraui (that is more like a Walmart Super Center) except with exquisite variety of wines, cheeses, charcuterie, and much much more.
Make a right out of the complex and within walking distance you have an excellent coffee shop- Ana y Emma, the Aquarium, and the Antara shopping center right after the Apple Store. On the left side of the street you have a couple of excellent museums, Soumaya and the Jumex. Plenty of things to do close by or you can take an Uber and go anywhere you like. They are very safe.
The security guards are very courteous and friendly.
If you need a Covid test I recommend Farmacia San Pablo on Mariano Escobedo. We had very good luck with them. They have a clinic open 7 days a week. The test is about $18 and you get the results within 15 minutes. After our tests we walked to Ojo de Agua Restaurant for breakfast and then walked to El Moro for some amazing churros.
Book Marco’s home for your next Mexico City get away and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it.
