Polanco Horizons

Waking up to treetop green views from your bedroom balcony is a quietly special way to start a day in one of Mexico City's most coveted neighbourhoods. This studio apartment in Polanco keeps things calm and considered indoors, with a travertine bathroom and a living space that feels restful after a day exploring the city. Steps from Avenida Presidente Masaryk – Polanco's main drag of restaurants and boutiques – and with Paseo de la Reforma and world-class museums within easy reach, the location does a lot of the heavy lifting.

Home truths:
* Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
* This is a studio apartment so you'll be living and sleeping in one space.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot and high chair. You'll need to request them 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 here. It's shared with the building's other residents.
* You're in the heart of one of the world's largest cities, so some street noise from outside is part of the deal here – worth keeping in mind if you're a light sleeper.
