Mexico City Lights

Perched in the heart of Polanco, this studio apartment puts the neighbourhood's best stretch of dining and boutiques right on your doorstep. Inside, a balcony extends your living space outward, making it easy to linger over morning coffee with city greenery all around. A rooftop terrace, shared with the building's other residents, offers a quieter vantage point above it all. And when you're ready to explore, the grand boulevards and parks of Mexico City are well within reach.

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 with a partial screen between the bedroom and living area.
* If you're travelling with a little one, 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 rooftop terrace here. It's shared with the building's other residents.
* Parking here can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
* You're in one of Mexico City's busiest neighbourhoods, so some street noise is part of the package – worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper.
