The best hotel/B&B/commune EVER

So, sometimes you can just WIN using the internet. This was our little home while in Mexico City. The pictures pretty much tell it all.

Our dining room/kitchenette. The galley kitchen isn't pictured, but it has a sink, a single-eye stove, a microwave, a mini fridge, and a fully stocked cabinet of cookware, dishes, stemware, and utensils.

Living room. Off to the left, not pictured, is another floor-to-ceiling window. That opens. To a beautiful courtyard garden.

My room.

Inner balcony/patio, entered from the kitchen door.

The girls' room, off the balcony. They picked this room to save me because this room lets in a LOT of light all day long, but especially in the morning.

Our preferred dining area.

Yep, there's a good reason why we didn't want to leave our apartment!!!!! The owners decorated the apartment with a mix of antiques and modern furniture from all around the city. Our bathroom was completely tiled in soothing blue mosaics. Each morning, breakfast was laid out downstairs, including fresh-squeezed OJ and some thick/dark coffee. The other folks were international and charming (Nudists! Cute gay boys! Beautiful women!) and the hosts threw happy hour and family-style cooking parties almost every night. A most wonderful stay.

So how did you find this place (in case we ever make it to Mexico City... or as they say in Mexico: "DF")?
