This is an extraordinary property, with exceptionally warm and gracious hosts. Photos can’t capture the magical beauty of the AD-worthy design. Every detail is perfect and the courtyard garden is enchanting. The hosts rightly take great pride in this historical property that has been thoughtfully adapted. The service was more like a boutique hotel than we expected, with daily top ups of nespresso and water. The comfort and quality of furnishings (dreamy beds and sofas, beautiful linens) is crazy! Victor’s team are lovely and helpful beyond compare.
We’ve stayed in CDMX many times, usually in Roma Norte or Condessa, but wanted to try a different neighbourhood. Sta. Maria de la Ribera is definitely less gentrified, and all the better for it. It’s a lively and super friendly colonia, great restaurants and bakeries and street food. The park and Kiosk are always bustling with families. If you are lucky you will see some amazing swing and salsa dancing. The energy and life in one block of this neighbourhood will blow you away. It’s all ridiculously photogenic but the best part was connecting with neighbours and business owners who had nothing but patience for our awful Spanglish and made us feel so welcomed.
