Penthouse de luxe avec des vues incroyables dans le centre historique

Experiencing Día de Muertos in Mexico City has been on my bucket list for years and being lucky enough to reserve Petra’s penthouse made the trip perfect. The penthouse is impeccable - spacious and beautiful with everything you could possible need and close to everything in Centro Historico. The view from the terrace is spectacular, and we started and ended every day there.

Breakfast is great with a variety of fruits, pastries, cereal, cocoa, coffee and tea. Snacks and drinks are available at reasonable costs. The beds are comfortable. Everything is immaculate.

But the real jewel is Petra. She was a fabulous hostess, offering us tips on places to go, restaurants – anything we wanted (or needed) to know. She took us to the perfect place to watch the parade and introduced us to several of her friends. My biggest mistake was not taking advantage of her extensive knowledge of the city before arriving.

I cannot thank Petra enough for her hospitality. She is awesome

Really beautiful property. We had 7 people there and there was more than enough room for all of us. Petra was fantastic. Gave us great local restaurant suggestions. Very close and walkable to so many museums, the city center, etc. Great to have housekeeping every day and breakfast there for the morning.

Petra is the host we all seek when traveling. Her apartment is the perfect location for exploring the major attractions; is comfortable, clean, and secure with incredible views of the city. If you are new to the city, we highly recommend her Centro Historic tour the morning after arriving to acquaint you with an insider's knowledge and experience. Her restaurant recommendations were superb and within walking distance.

Her tips on everything from Metro use to insider's sites to see

is invaluable. Thank you, Petra! We so appreciate you.

We were four women traveling to Mexico City for the first time. Looking at pictures on the Vrbo website, the apartment looked perfect for us -- and it absolutely was. To begin, Petra was very helpful throughout the entire process. She responded to emails within hour-- giving us information about the area and advice on restaurants and tours. She even booked our tickets to Casa Azul for us. Upon arrival, Ceci greeted us warmly (since Petra was out of town) and installed us in the apartment, explaining everything we needed to know. The apartment was as, if not more, beautiful than it looked in the pictures. It was also immaculate. The living room and dining room were spacious, bright, and beautifully furnished. The four of us were very comfortable drinking a glass of wine on the couches that faced each other, or around the dining room table. The kitchen was large and had every appliance we needed. The. breakfast that Ceci brought in every day was perfect for us -- an assortment of breads and sweet breads, yogurt, delicious fruit and eggs, along with coffee or tea. The four bedrooms and bathrooms were in different parts of the apartment, giving all of us the privacy we wanted. The bathrooms were modern and the beds had comfortable mattresses. And, we could not have chosen a more perfect location. There is so much to do in the Centro Historico and we were a able to walk to so many museums and sights. We were also able to walk to several very excellent restaurants and markets. When we ventured into other neighborhoods, we used Uber, which worked out very well. All in all, the four of us had an incredible time staying at Bolivar 8 in Mexico City. Our only regret is that we were only there for five days -- definitely not enough time. I'm planning to return to Mexico City with my husband in the near future and I hope the Petra's apartment is available when I do.

The location is perfect. You can walk to all the main attractions. For anything else further afield the Uber is very cheap. Petra and her team are very efficient and nothing is too much trouble. The apartment has everything in it that you could possible need.

Would definitely stay here again.
