Cecilia's place is one of a kind! If you're looking to be close to the heart of Mexico City, look no further!
THE SPACE
This is a beautiful colonial apartment that has all the authentic charm you'd want in see in Mexico City. There are large windows, beautiful tile work, cozy patio areas, old doors, and more. While you get the charm, there is a completely updated kitchen and modern bathrooms. We stayed here with four guests and felt completely comfortable! It could easily fit six people. Each person had their own bed. You do have to walk through one of the bedrooms to reach another bedroom but we didn't have any issue with this. The space is very large with two living rooms, 1.5 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, and a patio outside one of the bedrooms. One of my favorite things was how much curated detail went into Cecilia's space. Every book, piece of art, etc. has ties to Mexico City. She really wants her guests to immerse themselves in the culture at home.
THE LOCATION
This spot couldn't be any better. Right outside the apartment is a pedestrian only street full of restaurants, cafes, shops. At night, it is buzzing with people but you can retreat back to your apartment where the noise magically disappears! There's also a 24/7 pharmacy right down the street. You're also only a few minutes walking from the metro and zocalo. We didn't have a car so this made it even better to have a space that was so well located. We also ordered Uber Eats a few times and the deliveries always found the spot.
THE HOST
Cecilia is so responsive and accommodating. She is truly a Superhost. There were small details that really went a long way in our stay. To start, there are Mexican candies to welcome you as well as Mexico City guide books that help you learn more about the large city! She provides coffee, soap/shampoo, PLENTY of toilet paper, and a brand new sponge to wash dishes. I've been traveling for the past four months staying in Airbnbs and trust me, this has been a treat! Many hosts skimp on the basics but not here. We felt truly welcomed and at home. We would definitely stay here again!
