I loved this special place on one of Coyoacán’s most elegant and interesting streets. The house is quirky in it’s shape but has everything it needs and tons of charm. the upstairs bedroom is comfortable and has a wonderful private balcony where you can watch the sunrise in the morning and hear birds singing. You can forget you’re in a huge busy city when you sit out there.
A huge supermarket is walking distance but just far enough not to spoil the traditional neighborhood vibe. Some great places to eat and good coffee are walking distance, and just a bit further is Coyoacan’s busy main square.
The WiFi worked well and having a washing machine was a plus. Hot water is fine, water pressure is ok but great. I felt very safe the whole time I was there and was alone at night with no trouble.
Andrea is very responsive and helpful and her parents are around to greet you and solve problems that come up.
The only downside really is the quirky layout (it was a former corner grocery shop), where the only full bathroom with a shower is inside the second bedroom so it would be hard to share the place with anyone but close family or friends. There are 3 levels: ground floor has a narrow kitchen and eating / work area off the front door and a small half bath in the back. Up a half flight of stairs is the smaller bedroom and full bathroom (inside the bedroom), up another flight of stairs and you get to the main bedroom, which is spacious, bright and full of storage. Outside the main bedroom is the lovely balcony.
Gracias Andrea!
