10/10 Exceptional

Unique hotel for lovers of antique furnishings!
The front desk attendant Miguel is one of the nicest people we've met in the city. He offers many helpful transportation tips for those who are visiting, and his guided tour of the Casa Chopo property was great. The building has such a rich history and the furnishings are absolutely beautifully maintained from the olden 1860s to early 1900s era, when the streets in this neighborhood were cobble stone streets, before railroad cars were the big new thing! I was amazed the unique beauty of this home. It was also really nice to know you can come and go as you please, and check in at any hour. We were worried there would be nobody available to help us check in because our flight arrived after 9:30pm, but we were pleasantly surprised to have such nice service in person at a late hour. It is a quaint bed, so keep in mind there won't be a king size mattress, but for the affordable price it felt like a luxury to be staying in a well-maintained home from this era, including a kitchen open for guest use, beautiful sitting room, sunny rooftop, garden, gorgeous dining room, and laundry room. Small tip for those who stay during mosquito season, keep the fan on inside your room and point it toward you if you want to avoid getting bites. Mosquitos can't fly in the path of a windy draft. The neighborhood is also full of neat surprises -- a handful of bars & restaurants where locals hang out, a geology museum practically on the same block, and Plaza Buenavista mall & train station.
