A perfectly located “oasis of calm” in the middle of a frenetic city.

Tom is American, and has been living in Mexico City for 25 years, thus he was very useful as an adviser and addressed our concerns about security, food, what to do, getting around, etc. He made himself very available to us (his apartment is in the same building) and was genuinely interested in how our trip was going.

The courtyard is festive and the patio on the roof offers a spectacular retreat with a goldfish pond and hummingbird feeders! Tom informed us that they feed in the early morning.

Tom gives voice lessons which provided a bonus of concerts within his quiet compound.

The bed is a “full” size as advertised. We are big people, but we had no trouble at all sleeping as it is very cozy and comfortable.

There are nice touches, like a toothbrush holder in the bathroom, coffee and tea, and a vase of fresh lilies which gave us that “at home” feeling.
