The loveliest flat in Mexico City in the best location. Wake up and open your windows to beautiful canopy views of Plaza Rio De Janeiro. The best coffee shop in town is 20 feet from your front door (Buna Cafe) and not one but two killer Italian restaurants (Cafe Toscano is a standby, Sartoria is newer and even more amazing - try their beet salad, homemade pasta, and the seabass in green sauce.)
There is plenty of room for a couple to spread out, relax, and work in Margarita's flat. I found myself alternating between the office and the dining table, both with beautiful sunlit views during the day. In the evenings I would spread out on one of the armchairs and read a book. This is definitely a real home, well-loved by its owners, not just a random pop up Airbnb filled with IKEA furniture. Treasures from around the world surround you and more wonderful books than you can shake a stick at.
The building was very secure, the doorman was kind and helpful, and you really cannot beat the location. Margarita and her partner were wonderfully communicative and helpful at every turn. The doorman provided bottled water and coffee, and tips for the area.
Overall an A+++ stay, highly recommended for Mexico City first-timers or long-time visitors!
