What a place! The photos do not do this place justice - it is quite large, very quiet and feels like home quickly. We stayed at Julio and Lucia's place for 6 weeks, and loved every minute of it. They were the best airbnb hosts imaginable, checking in a few days before we arrived, and then periodically messaging to make sure we were OK throughout the trip. They even checked in on us after an earthquake warning to see if we were alright. We only had a few small issues throughout the trip, and they dealt with them so quickly that it felt like we had none at all!
The house is located down a beautiful mews, with a private gate and a nice building manager. The neighbours are lovely, and the whole space feels like a little peaceful break from a big city.
Both bedrooms have comfortable beds, enough space for all your clothing and luggage, as well as internal windows that can left open all day. The upstairs one is very bright, and is a perfect office / guest suite with the patio right outside. The downstairs bedroom is a little less bright (which made it a perfect main bedroom), and the living room offers a perfect hang-out/work-out/work space. The internet is super fast, and reliable, never causing us a problem, even if we were both on zoom calls.
The kitchen is well stocked - including a panini press which we loved - and has enough storage for grocery shopping if you are staying there for a while. The water pressure on the main shower is fantastic, and we never had a problem with hot water. The gas did run out one day, but Julio and Lucia arranged to get it fixed almost immediately without any issues. The outdoor space is absolutely beautiful. The hosts take great pride in their plants, and it definitely shows - the patio is private because of all of the lovely foliage and snake plants. It's a beautiful oasis in an amazing neighbourhood, and is shockingly quiet for how close you are to everything.
The neighbourhood couldn't be more perfect. You're right in between Condesa, Roma Sur and Roma Norte, meaning almost everything you could want to do in those neighbourhoods is a short walk away. Parque Mexico is an easy 5 minute walk away, with great juice shops and coffee shops to start your morning right. There are great tacos, bars, chicken places, and even a great New York pizza place and an authentic Italian place within a few minute walk. Julio and Lucia provided us with a list of restaurants and bars nearby when we got there, which was very helpful.
One final thing, the place offers a cleaner for an additional charge. At first we were a little unsure whether worth it to do. It is!! Leti is amazing, keeps the place incredibly clean and was super flexible about working around us when we were in the house while she was there. It made an already great vacation even more relaxing and was an incredibly good deal for the price.
If this place is available, book it! It was a wonderful home for a long stay in Mexico City. We will definitely be staying here again, if its available, when we are next in town.
