It was drizzling the first few nights of my stay and had so many lovely, cool evenings with the huge balcony windows ajar listening to the wind in the trees and the ambient sounds of Condessa. The location is unparalleled and Abeel and her husband sent the most amazing local tips, which they apparently customize to all of their guests. It made such a difference in my trip, since it helped me avoid tourist cliches and led me to wander such interesting neighborhoods I wouldn't have thought to discover. The building has so much history and character and is just lived in enough to feel like home. Stays like this one are so helpful in allowing you to live like a local and avoid a cookie cutter experience. Mexico City is such a layered, culturally rich town that it would be a shame to just follow the guide books. I highly recommend Abdeel's place, and encourage you to tap this lovely couple as a resource during your stay.
