“Sofia and Theo's apartment in Condesa is the perfect base to explore Mexico City. It's easy to get to and placed on a quiet block just a few steps away from one of the best cafés in the area. The duplex apartment is comfortable, really well designed and full of great books, objects – and toys from their two daughters. Sofia was a delight to meet and communicate with – I wish we could hang out more! Highly recommended.”

About our home
This recently refurbished duplex is a true oasis in the middle of Colonia Condesa, one of the nicest neighborhoods in Mexico city, right behind Parque España. Condesa is considered to be one of the most fashionable districts, especially among young businesspeople, artists, students and families. Its character has been compared to that of the Soho in New York and the Latin Quarter in Paris. Its avenues are wide and lined with trees. It is mostly residential but also filled with restaurants, cafés, boutiques and art galleries. Some of these shops include the Rosario Castellanos bookstore, which includes a cáfe, an auditorium theatre and a children’s room, café Lardo by one of the most renowned chefs in the city, bar Felina, and Contramar restaurant with the best seafood in the city. Most of the bars and cafes are concentrated along Amsterdam and Michoacán avenues. The area is residential (so very quiet), and only a short walking distance to all services like metro, metrobus, supermarkets, Chapultepec, Parque Mexico and Parque España parks, cinemas, shops, galleries, restaurants, bars...
The building has only 4 flats and the neighbors are friendly and respectful.
It has 2 bedrooms: main bedroom has a queen bed, and a view to the garden. This means you get to wake up to the sound of chirping birds and the sight of bougainvillea , hummingbirds and butterflies every morning! The second bedroom has a twin bed and is ideal for children. There is an extra twin bed in the living room.
The space has 2 two bathrooms, one with a bath tub in case you need to have a relaxing bath after a long day in the city, a terrace with access from the main bedroom, a small garden with a hammock and a play house, fully equipped kitchen, parking space for one car on the street, washing machine, wifi, and house cleaning three times a week

We are a family with two small girls 3 and 0 (!!)

Theo is an artist from Greece, and Sofia is a Book designer (and a mother) from Mexico City. We met in London while we were both living there, and decided to make Mexico City our home.... for now!

We are both into art, design, architecture, and culture in general. We love the city, but cherish the peace and quiet we get in our lovely house.
