Mauricio, without a doubt, is the best Airbnb host I’ve ever had, one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and someone I hope to call a lifelong friend. This was my first trip to Mexico, and I stayed with Mauricio for almost three months. To start, his apartment is in a beautiful location, with easy access to all of the popular parts of town, as well as lesser known gems. The apartment is clean, comfortable, safe, and tidy. Mauricio went out of his way day in and day out to make my stay world class, from cutting me fresh fruit in the morning, cleaning up after messes I should’ve cleaned up after myself, teaching me about the city and culture, guiding me around the city with amazing recommendations, helping with transport, connecting me with people to make sure I had a good time wherever I went, etc etc. We were able to have some pretty cool experiences throughout and outside the city, and I’ve made some memories I’ll never forget. However, if you want to be left alone, Mauricio 100% will respect that. He’s very clear that your space is your space, your day is your day, and you can make those lines as clear as you want.
On top of being an amazing host, Mauricio also owns an amazing restaurant called Reina Lupita that I went to about once a week — everything on the menu is wildly delicious, so make sure you stop by!
I’ve learned a ton from him and have had a ton of fun, and I truly give 100% of the quality of this trip to Mauricio — every time I come back to CDMX (which hopefully will be frequent), rest assured that my first stop will be to say hello to Mauricio.
