Meli's place is a stellar, cozy home base for exploring the intriguing Colonia Roma. Full of art, plants, books, and lovingly presided over by a sweet dog and cat pair, the apartment is essentially an art gallery. The well-lit bedroom boasts an extra comfy bed and, when you need it, a desk perfect for focusing. Meli is an expert guide, and will show you the real face of the neighborhood increasingly at risk of succumbing to the success of its own charm.
Local recommendations:
* Mezcal tasting and cultural education (catas) at Mezcal Naa Liuu's neighboring bodega. Worth making an appointment for.
* Breakfast burrito in La Pitahaya Vegana. Not just for vegans. (C. Queretaro 90)
* In a different neighborhood, but still worth noting, are the Free Software and Permaculture community centers: El Rancho Electronico / Casa Tamatz Kallaumari (C. Torquemada 76, Colonia Obrera)
