Our German host is a passionate architect and he has produced an admirable effort to set a benchmark for passive energy construction in one of the worlds mesmerising cities. The photos are accurate -- a really interesting, light filled space. Thoughtfully well equipped. And thanks to (website hidden) translate, we communicated easily despite the great distance from Australia. Talking of which, jet lag is definitely one reason we chose this accommodation -- so after our journey of almost 24 hours we had a recovery location for the sleeping at odd hours. And the capacity to sit outside and soak up the atmosphere without being down in the chaos that is Mexico City. For an Australian this is an almost overwhelming city. A safe place to retreat to is essential! The neighbourhood is a mixed, ever-developing neighbourhood -- not gentrified yet like Contessa but not a dirty mess like downtown. A few local boutique bakeries, bookshops as well as the plentiful daily street food. It can be noisy here on weekends like any big City. But you are 15-30 minutes walk from the wonderful Central and green Park areas (and the world renowned Anthropological Museum) and other guests have explained its convenience to public transport to the historic Zocolo.
Guests should prepare for scaling a safe and strong flight of stairs culminating in a last few narrow iron steps of a vertical spiral ascent to your Loft apartment and its spectacular rooftop views. And remember, this is one open space if you or a couple need to share it. Nice spot for a fine weather afternoon beer and kickback.
