My partner and I had a lovely time at Casa De Mi Morenita. We stayed there for a full month and so were able to get to know the area quite well. Roma Norte is amazing, tons of amazing restaurants and also lots of really good street food because its a business district during the day. We are a short walk from Orizaba which is a beautiful street dotted with nice parks and giant tropical trees and bushes.

The apartment is beautiful, and the huge rooftop is a rare and coveted find in Mexico City. We would spend our afternoons outside in the sun almost every day. Inside, the ceilings are high and the light in the afternoons is gorgeous.

In general it is a very old place which adds to its charm but may also detract from certain modern conveniences. I liken it to staying at a cottage or a country home. Its a bit chilly in the winter so bring some warm clothes with you, the gas stove is a bit dated and the hot water is spotty. However, we adapted to these quirks quite quickly and they didn't cause us to enjoy our stay any less.

(Tip for the hot water: Nashe will instruct you to keep the bathroom sink on during your shower (it triggers the hot water tank) but we found if you let the shower heat up and then turn the sink off the pressure is much better and much warmer.)

We had a wonderful stay at CAsa de Mi Morenita and I highly recommend it for travelers who are looking for an authentic, traditional accommodation in the best area of mexico city. Thank you for your hospitality Nashe!

ps - if you like dancing, don't miss Patrick Miller around the corner on Friday nights. It is an incredibly surreal experience and not at all what you might imagine a 2000-capacity night club to be.. I highly recommend even if you only go for 10 minutes :)
