•⁠ 15 minutes from the trendsetting cafes and boutiques of La Roma
•⁠ ⁠15 minutes from the lush parks and nightlife of La Condesa
•⁠ ⁠15 minutes from the historic center (Centro Histórico)
It’s the perfect location for those who want to explore Mexico City like a local—surrounded by culture, but away from the tourist crowds.

•⁠ ⁠Please be mindful of our neighbors and observe quiet time from 11 PM to 8 AM.
•⁠ ⁠You already know this, but a friendly reminder: No smoking or Parties allowed.
•⁠ ⁠Prohibited to light candles.
•⁠ ⁠Water in México City is not safe to drink, and we don't want you to get sick. We have installed a premium water filter in the kitchen. It is the small water faucet to the right. Please use it to drink and cook.
