Stumbling upon Lorena’s listing was the greatest blessing! I never imagined I could find a home away from home through Airbnb. Lorena is more than just a host; she ensures you’re safe, comfortable, well-fed and in high spirits. Her apartment is located in a quiet and safe residential area, with corner stores and restaurants nearby. The central location of the building gives you easy (and cheap!) access to the northern and southern regions of CDMX, a real treat. The room is well furnished and the balcony with views of Narvarte is a bonus. The private bathroom is spotless and a real luxury for the price you pay. The other living areas are always kept clean and accessible should you wish to cook your own meal or lay down on the living room sofa. Despite always feeling safe, the 24/7 security readily available in the lobby brought great relief.
Every day, I woke up to coffee, traditional Mexican pastries and stimulating conversation. When I needed to retreat after a long day, Lorena considerately gave me the privacy I needed. To get me acquainted with her city, she took time out of her day to bring me on a tour of hidden gems in the historic center. She tended to my innumerable blisters and packed me lunches before heading out when she knew I hadn’t eaten. Had it not been for Lorena, my trip would’ve been far more insipid.
Lorena, my Mexican mama, I thank you for your immense generosity and knowledge. Meeting you was fate. À bientôt, Steffy.
