This is a high style quad-plex apartment with a gorgeous wall of glass giving onto a fabulous walled garden with a fountain and water feature that transports guests to a bit of jungle in the heart of the city. There are blackout curtains for sleeping, the ones for the lower bedroom more effective than the upper.
The building is also wonderful, with a gallery entrance, inner courtyard as mentioned above surrounded by charming black and white murals, and a beautiful common library.
Located near the Santa Maria la Ribiera side of Colonia San Rafael, an up and coming neighborhood northeast of Roma, there is a handy Oxxo for the basics, and the charming pozoleria, el Tona (pozole, of course, but decent bean sauced enchiladas and various tostadas) for late night arrivals.
The co-hosts are super responsive, helpful and nice. Our plane was late and I was relieved when Jose texted that he lived on site and could help 24 hours in case of emergencies.
