From the moment we booked this apartment, it was the best experience we've ever had with a VRBO property! The owner, Petra Fischer, is a renowned documentarian, having produced many documentaries on Mexico. She concentrates on making her guests' time in Mexico City the best it could ever be. First of all, the apartment is lovely, as you can see from the photos. Our group occupied 3 of the 4 available bedrooms. Our view was of the Opera House - stunning with the sun setting behind it. Petra has designed - exclusively for her guests - private guided and non-guided tours. Guests can choose among 23 tours and 7 activities, ranging from an orientation walk through the historic center to the Frida Kahlo circuit to the famous pyramids to massages to private dinners in the apartment. Every one we chose was first-class! Additionally, Petra prepared a list of 18 of her most recommended restaurants in the area, which included which meals they serve (B, L, D), type of food, ambience, phone number and address. Every restaurant we chose was just as described. I can't imagine being a first-time or multi-time visitor to Mexico City and not staying "with" Petra.

Stayed for a few days during the Epiphany of the Lord. Went to the Basilica, Xochimilco and Chapultepec for a Mexico ballet presentation. Everything was amazing. The stay at the suites was pleasant and the owner Petra surprised us with a rosca de Reyes. That was so sweet. Also arrange transportation for us and was available at all times if needed.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful apartment and about Petra, the most extraordinary host! First the apartment... we visited Mexico City as a family with our adult children. We loved the large, sun-lit living room and dining room with plenty of space for everyone to relax and eat together. Great views of the city out the floor-to-ceiling windows. Large, beautifully decorated bedrooms with super-comfortable beds and plenty of bathrooms. And we loved being in the center of the city with easy walking to the Zocalo, markets, museums, murals, and parks. And now about the amazing Petra... the best VRBO host I've ever encountered. Communication ahead of the trip was super-responsive. We arrived on Christmas Eve when restaurants were closed so she offered to order for us and have the food waiting in the fridge when we arrived. She arranged airport transportation and guided a tour for us to the pyramids, complete with delicious quesadillas in the market. She offered advice on places to see and made us feel so welcome and so cared-for with lots of extras: breakfast pastries, yummy jam, lots of guidebooks (for one of which she is a contributing author), and more. We loved ringing in New Years Eve 20024 together with her! Highly, highly, highly recommend! You cannot go wrong with this booking!

We had such a great time in this apartment. It was a perfect place for my husband and myself my children and their significant others. Everyone gasped when we walked in and how beautiful it was. It was also well appointed, with things like hats and umbrellas, if you forgot them. Petra is a wonderful host and made us feel very at home. The continental breakfast helped us get going on the day without worrying about a restaurant. Location is so perfect for seeing the historical district. And we took Ubers to the other parts of town.
