I can’t say enough about my stay at this perfect apartment. The place was comfortable, spotless and the terrace was perfect and exactly what I was looking for since CDMX was on lockdown during my visit. It offered a beautiful and safe space to enjoy the outdoors and have an enjoyable slow start the my mornings. I especially enjoyed hot green sipping tea provided by the hosts in the mornings on the terrace, along with practicing yoga as the sun came up. A massive 10 gallon bottle of purified water was also in the apt, which was convenient. During the days, I strolled around La Condesa and ended up in beautiful Parque Espana & Mexico are both a short 8-10 min walk from the apt. As a solo traveler, I felt extremely safe in this 3rd floor apartment and the city in general. A few days, I caught a very cheap Uber to other areas of the city - Coyoacan and Zocalo - to meander around and enjoy the colonias.
While the apartment was safe and ideally located, the hosts - Teresa, Guillermo & Valentín - added a special touch to my stay. Extremely welcoming from the moment I arrived, they invited me to have dinner with their family on New Year’s Eve which was completely unexpected and unnecessary, but very much so welcomed and appreciated. It was nice to spend the holiday practicing my Spanish (they were very patient with me :-)), enjoying Teresa’s homemade chicken mole with arepas, punche and partaking in their NY tradition of eating 12 grapes!
I will definitely stay here again when I return to CDMX - can’t beat a lovely outdoor space & hosts with good energy.
