The place is lovely and comfortable, and Coyoacan itself is wonderful—tree-lined, with lots of restaurants/cafes, shops, and parks. During the week the neighborhood is pretty peaceful by CDMX standards, but not at all boring; it becomes quite bustling on the weekend. Ernesto’s place is a welcome bit of serenity after a busy day. He was the perfect host, responsive and flexible, but he also gave us a lot of privacy. The small courtyard of the house is particularly charming, and the art-filled walls are great. The wifi is excellent. Everything felt very safe. I’d stay here again in a minute.
It’s close to several museums, though it’s worth noting that the gem of our visit, the Museo Nacional de Antropología, is across town. We ubered there easily and, by US standards, cheaply. The metro is probably faster.
Fyi, for convenience, there’s a big supermarket a short walk away, and same with the terrific Coyoacan mercado. There are many smaller places too.
