I’ve been staying at José’s house for about two months this summer – and I can really recommend it both for longer and shorter stays.

First of all, the location is excellent. Roma is clearly one of the nicest neighborhoods in Mexico City – it’s safe, trendy, and a good base for accessing other central parts of Mexico City. Within a 5-10 minute walk from José’s there are several nice bars, restaurants, and cafes, and the neighbourhood has several good museums and galleries. The metro and the metrobus are also 5-10 minutes away.

Second, the house and the two rooms (that is, the room come as a suit, a bedroom with a small office) that José rents out are really nice. The house is relatively old, and the rooms are fairly sparsely furnished. But there is everything you will need, a lot of space, and it is all very clean.

Finally, José is an excellent host. He is very knowledgeable about what to see and do in Mexico City (and other parts of the country), and just a really nice guy who it is a lot of fun to talk to.

In all, I’ve really enjoyed staying here – and can really recommend it to other travelers and temporary visitors to Mexico City.
