Heart of Polanco

Stepping out onto the private balcony at this Polanco apartment, you'll have views across one of Mexico City's best-known neighbourhoods. Inside, the living and dining area offers plenty of space for groups to gather, while pendant lighting adds a welcoming feel in the evenings. The bedroom overlooks a leafy garden, creating a quieter setting away from the surrounding streets. Avenida Masaryk, known for its boutiques and restaurants, is just steps from the front door, and a dedicated parking space adds convenience throughout your stay.

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.
* The third bedroom is a service room – smaller than the other two and better suited as a children's room or occasional single room rather than a main guest bedroom.
* While the kitchen isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* Mexico City is a busy, lively capital, and some street noise can filter into the apartment. If you're a light sleeper, it's worth packing earplugs.
* Getting around Mexico City is easiest by Uber or taxi rather than on foot – we recommend keeping a ride-hailing app handy for anything beyond the immediate Polanco neighbourhood.
* Your host can provide a parking permit for one vehicle.
