"First designed as a private single-family home in 1962 by Mario Pani, a Mexican architect and urbanist who gave form to much of Mexico City’s appearance, the property still exudes a sense of familial comfort and ease. There’s the well-worn leather and chrome sofas that invite repose and conversation, the 11-foot-long communal dining/work table made from Tzalam wood that’s a preferred WFH outpost, and the shared kitchen 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, Casa Pani is very much a part of the neighborhood. If you’re up early, you can—and really should—catch the local couple selling tamales from the street." - Dana Covit
