"The newly remodeled historic centre of Mexico City is the place to truly feel the pulse of this exhilarating megalopolis. But, after a day of sightseeing, you need a private haven where you can relax in comfort and style - with plenty of space, your own kitchen, top-floor terrace and a helpful host who lives nearby. Petra's flagship apartment is located atop a stately building, offering stupendous views and a fresh, contemporary decor. With 4 charming bedrooms and 3 marble bathrooms, it can comfortably sleep 6; or you can rent 1 or 2 bedrooms at reduced rates, and still get the whole place to yourself. That includes an enormous living area, a plant-filled terrace and a well-equipped kitchen (continental breakfast and daily cleaning are included). The central location puts you at the heart of the action, and the penthouse views will have you towering heads above the crowds. Providing peace in a fast-paced, frenetic city; you'll be hard pushed to find a more perfect resting place than this rare gem. Highs Petra, the German documentary producer who owns this apartment, has lived in Mexico City for over 40 years and will happily organise guides, dance lessons, even tequila tastingsYou're within easy walking distance of top tourist attractions, restaurants and the metroWe loved the artistic décor, with touches of Latin American folk artThe plant-filled terrace is a perfect antidote to the bustling city streetsMaid service (3 times a week) is included Lows Daytime noise from the city - rush-hour traffic, church bells, the occasional street musician - is unavoidable; but nights are quietSome of the building’s communal areas need sprucing up, though the apartment is in excellent shapeThere's a minimum stay of 3 nights (4 nights over Easter, Independence Day, Mexican Day of the Dead, Thanksgiving and end-of-year holidays)" - Emilie Witham
