I cannot express enough how wonderful my stay was at this AirBnb. San Rafael is an awesome neighborhood with a truly authentic Mexican vibe that allows you to really experience the culture of cdmx. It’s also close enough to other fun neighborhoods (Condesa and Roma) and the typical tourist attractions as well (the Angel). So you can easily branch out to other spots.
The metro bus on Calle Insurgentes is only a few blocks away (highly recommend using this) and will easily get you to a lot of neat places. And safety-wise, San Rafael is very calm and secure. I never felt uneasy walking around the streets (even at night) and you’ll see patrol cars policing frequently.
Jesús is an awesome guy, and the others living at the house are kind and respectful. No problems at all. The internet speed is really fast (I work as a software engineer) and never gave me a single problem working there. The desk and chair in the bedroom are extremely comfortable as well. The room is super comfortable and spacious, and the window is large and opens up fully which feels amazing when you want some fresh air.
On Sundays there’s a wonderful market that takes place at the plaza just a few blocks down. You can find awesome food and buy all sorts of stuff there, so be sure to check it out. Find yourself some menudo if you’re hungover, you’ll thank me later.
Will definitely be staying here again if I ever return to Mexico City. 🇲🇽
