This Mexico City Airbnb Is a Hidden Gem for Design Lovers | Vogue
"On my last trip, I lucked out by choosing a guest house–style boutique hotel in Cuauhtémoc that happens to be a Modernist masterpiece, bookable on Airbnb. First designed as a private single-family home in 1962 by Mario Pani, it still exudes familial comfort and ease: well-worn leather and chrome sofas invite repose and conversation, an 11-foot-long communal dining/work table made from Tzalam wood is a preferred WFH outpost, and the shared kitchen is outfitted with liquors left as offerings from past visitors. Bookended by a magnificent midcentury church with soaring stained-glass windows and a charming park at the end of the street, it feels deeply woven into the neighborhood—if you’re up early, you can catch the local couple selling tamales from the street. Conceived by architect Miggi Hood, entrepreneur Marie Cazalaa, and Yola Mezcal co-founder Yola Jimenez as an extension of a home where wandering visitors meet, stay, dine, and connect, the property encourages mingling across a nucleus of communal spaces: the bottom-floor living room salon, an indoor–outdoor courtyard, and a formal dining room. The vibe stays easygoing enough to wander down for coffee or a cocktail in pajamas, helped by the cozy robes in every room, and the quiet, spacious residential setting makes it an ideal place to return to after tasting everything and going everywhere in the city." - Dana Covit
