Staying at Liliana's Airbnb largely contributed to my culturally rich experience on my first trip to Mexico City.
Liliana is a very welcoming and respectful host. She gave me sound advice on where to go and what to do, and frequently offered her time to answer my questions.
I found downtown to be too busy - the house is in a peaceful neighbourhood yet still closeby ($3-5 uber ride downtown). It very well qualifies for the Airbnb idea `live like a local`.
Adventurously up through an external spiral staircase one finds an abundantly spacious red-clay rooftop terrace, a great choice for a sunny breakfast, or, just a moment late in the night.
Quite perfect for the open-minded solo traveler.
The only sad part was that a week was not long enough to make friends with the cats!
