Above Polanco

Polanco is one of Mexico City's most rewarding neighbourhoods to be based in – Museo Soumaya and Museo Jumex are both a ten-minute walk, and the area's high-end boutiques and leafy parks are right on the doorstep. The apartment itself offers a calm, well-considered base, with a living space that moves easily between cooking, dining, and relaxing. There's a private balcony for alfresco drinks, and a rooftop terrace shared with the building's other residents where you can wind down above the city.

Home truths:
* At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, baby bath, and baby monitor. You'll need to request these in advance.
* You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
* You'll have access to the on-site roof terrace, business centre, and laundry room here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
* Visitors are only permitted with prior written authorisation from the reservations team, so let your host know in advance if you're expecting anyone during your stay.
