Paco and Maria welcomed us into their beautiful home in San Miguel Chapultapec, a scenic and quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Condesa and a short cab fare or Metro ride to many surrounding sights within the DF.

Their home is a spacious, open-air layout with sunlight and cross-breezes throughout the day. We awoke every morning to the sounds of children playing in the nearby daycare and a breakfast of fresh fruit, coffee, and a hot dish prepared by their housekeeper, Yolanda. We were made to feel welcome right away, and felt like we were leaving home at the end of our stay.

Paco provided us with several maps of the city and a cell phone upon our arrival, as well as useful tips for getting around and a thoughtful assessment of our itinerary for the week. He was very helpful in our getting acquainted with the city and all it has to offer. Yolanda was especially friendly and generous throughout the week, cleaning our room daily (even on the weekend!) and washing and folding our laundry upon request. It was great having the company of their dogs as well, who took to us immediately and greeted us upon our return home every afternoon and evening.

Overall a great experience we recommend. Paco and Maria Jose's home was a perfectly safe and comfortable hub for our first visit to the DF. We will be back.
