Jacobo’s place is a treasure and he is a fantastic host. The apartment is at the top of Jacobo’s home, which is inside a gated courtyard in a beautiful old building. The apartment is modern, light filled, and extremely comfortable. The floor to ceiling windows slide open to a big terrace, and we rarely closed them. There are many unique touches. The hammocks proved irresistible after a day of site-seeing. WiFi was good and there’s good work space. There is good air flow and fans helped as well. The spiral staircase and floating stairs to the loft could prove challenging for some people. But these elements also add to the charm of the place. Though the home is in a busy neighborhood, it’s a secluded location and very quiet at night. It’s located in a lovely neighborhood with a seemingly endless number of restaurants and cafes, as well as record stores and little boutique shops. Many bodegas and a larger grocery nearby. People were incredibly friendly. Jacobo greeted us warmly, provided beers, and made sure we were comfortable. He offered tips on things to do nearby, and arranged a day trip to the Basilica de Guadalupe and the pyramids with a fantastic guide. He checked in with us but wasn’t intrusive. We took the Metro or walked most places. We live in a big city and felt completely safe and comfortable in Roma and traveling throughout the city. We’d stay at Jacobo’s place again in a heartbeat.
