Five of us spent three nights in Paco and Maria's spacious, comfortable house. We rented all three rooms, which were clean and comfortable. Our hosts were very personable and provided personalized, helpful suggestions on how to get around, places to go, etc. They provided us with a local cell phone and laminated map of the city, which were very helpful. All this made our stay in Mexico City much easier and more enjoyable.

The house has three stories: the ground floor, which includes the common rooms (kitchen, dining, living) and a nice backyard with a patio table; the second floor, where there are three guest rooms (large master with its own bathroom, two smaller bedrooms, and a shared bath). Paco and Maria stay on the third floor. They have two friendly dogs--one a big Saint Bernard, which mostly stay downstairs.The location is in a quiet neighborhood south of the Bosque de Chapultepec, walking distance to the park and its museums, and the adjacent neighborhood of Condessa and some really excellent restaurants on Avenida Michoacan. Paco and Maria provide a nice breakfast (fruit, toast, cereal, yogurt, etc.) every morning. This house was a great home base during our visit and a provided a welcome respite from commotion of one of the world's biggest cities.
