What a wonderful place to stay - a really beautiful house, in a beautiful, quiet area (both day and night). Lots of windows and nice natural light. Comes with one larger, very firm bed (good for two), and one smaller, softer bed. A nice desk area upstairs to sit and work, if need be, as pictured, and there’s also a nice downstairs area that is not in pictures, so there is actually two floors - so lots of space! A really nice terrace on the top of the house, where we had very nice breakfasts, with nice views of the colourful street below. Excellent kitchen and fridge, two bathrooms, good hot water, and a washing machine and lots of room to dry clothes outside. Also lots of closet room to unpack your belongings if you’re planning on a a longer stay. Just an all around, very great house to stay in. Andrea was quick to respond, and very nice and provided us with helpful suggestions - a great host. We also got a lot of water on arrival, and giant water-cooler jugs can be quickly delivered to your house if need be, which is super convenient. Close to the subway, or close to the main road for when you want an uber to take you downtown. There’s lots to do in the immediate area, including some museums and a park with paths and trees just north of the house. It’s about a 25-30 minute relaxed walk to the main Coyaocan main square (Cathedral, markets, restaurants, museums, etc.), which is beautiful and a lot of fun, especially on weekend nights when everybody is out. It’s a nice walk to the square, down one road with lots of interesting houses and beautiful old trees along the way, and if you don’t feel like walking back or something, then it’s like a 2-3 dollar uber ride back home. There is also a very nice park/square about a 7-10 minute walk east from the house with some restaurants where we’d often have breakfast, overlooking the park, along with a nice house with doubles as a theatre and also serves breakfast. There are restaurants close by, and you can google them all, as well as a giant grocery store about a 15 minute walk away, if you need anything ( really, anything - it’s one of those ‘much more than food grocery’ stores). The 24-security men were also especially excellent, very kind, and always keen on being helpful, even though we didn’t have any concerns. We stayed just over a week and there was a cleaning included, which took around an hour and 20 minutes and left the place like new, and with fresh bedding and towels. I will probably never see anywhere quite as cobble-stoney and colourful and with such old, beautiful trees again, and I would definitely come back to stay in this house. I think if you really want to spend some time and feel like your a resident of Coyoacan even for just a little bit, this is the perfect place to do it.
