The owners of this property - Christian and Fernanda, a young, married couple - are the best hosts that I have yet to encounter through AirBNB. With the housekeeper, Lily, they formed a great team that worked to make guests feel as welcome and comfortable as possible.
The house is very intelligently designed. Each renter has a private bedroom and bathroom and, in the kitchen, a personal mini-refrigerator and cabinet to keep food. Not only is the kitchen fully equipped with appliances, cooking utensils, silverware, dishes, and cups for guests to use, a rare feature that I especially appreciated was the water filtration system on the kitchen sink, as the majority of dwellings in Mexico do not have any potable water. This house was very clean, as the owners and other guests tidied up common areas on a daily basis, and Lily provided full cleaning service to the bedrooms and common areas once a week.
Since the hosts live on site in the upstairs portion of the house, they were very attentive about addressing my concerns and making repairs as quickly as possible. I think that they did everything that was reasonably possible to help me feel as comfortable as could be. They were also readily available to give me advice about how to navigate the neighborhood. I enjoyed many friendly conversations with them. They made me feel as if I were welcome in their house like a dear friend or family member.
The house is well situated in a peaceful, upper-middle class neighborhood of Mexico City, near 2 preschools. In this neighborhood, it is normal to see foreigners, well-dressed business professionals, people walking their pet dogs on leashes, and even women walking by themselves at night to exercise. I always felt safe here. Furthermore, many stores were within 1 mile’s walking distance, such that it was easy for me to get what I needed. Famous sight-seeing attractions of Mexico City, such as the Paseo de la Reforma, the Parque Chapultepec, excellent museums, theaters, art galleries, and fine restaurants, were also at a short distance.
I felt happy staying at this residence. I give it my highest praise.
