Loved the Juarez neighborhood and the host was incredibly responsive via message. The flat had thoughtful touches, like umbrellas and Netflix, and their lovely guide to local eats and treats. If you are a foodie--Bernarda has the inside scoop!
A few bumps: the elevator was out for more than four days (strollers, luggage, heavy groceries, or physical ailments were not fun in this 5th floor apartment situation), the security guard at check in was adamant that we needed to go to the Oxxo to get a paper copy of our passports before he would let us pass (We arrived at midnight in the pouring rain with two kids).
The new building has a lovely little gym with a few machines / yoga ball / weights, a kids area with toys, etc, and a business center looks like it's coming soon. This was great to keep my kids busy during afternoons of heavy rain.
We've been to CDMX a lot and seen most of the sights, so we mostly came to hang out and try new foods.
Here is our 7 Day Juarez / Juarez Adjacent Favorites:
Monday: Try some street food stands (tacos al pastor, blue corn with squash blossom). Evening: Chill out with a glass of wine and a cheese plate at Diario
Tuesday: Try the uniquely Mexican Gelato at Flavors at Joe Gelato. Our favorites: Juniper Berry (tastes like a gin and tonic), Olive Oil (try it, just trust me), and Chocolate / Cinnamon (think a cup of Abuelita, the Gelato version!)
Wednesday: Take a Yoga Class at Green Yoga Juarez (first class is usually free and you can rent a mat for 15 pesos), hang out in Chapultepec park
Thursday: Have lunch or Dinner at Comedor Lucerna (Limonada del dia, Tuna Tostada, Pizza with Arugula & Serrano ham)
Friday: Hit Mercado Juarez for some Chilaquiles and Agua fresca, stand outside and watch the tortilla makers work their magic
Saturday: Try the Avocado Toast with eggs at Farmacia Internacional, walk to Mercado de Artesenias La Ciudadela
Sunday: You've walked a lot and seen the sights, get a deep tissue / Chinese massage at Terapia Oriental before your journey home
