I loved staying in Carmen's place during my week in Mexico City. It's located within walking distance of many of the places you'll want to visit in Coyoacán (Jardin Centenario, Mercardo de Coyoacán, the Blue House, the Trotsky House, etc.) but in a more residential section of the neighborhood. Coffee shops, pharmacies, and grocery stores are all nearby, too. But you should really come for the hammock and beautiful plants, all of which are nice to return to after a day of working or walking around. Carmen was also quick to respond to questions and supplied some helpful tips for the area. This is a great place with a great host!
