One of our favorite neighborhoods in one of our favorite cities in Mexico. Quite green indeed. When we arrived back there our second time, I recall a sense of comfort washing over me during our taxi ride to our accommodation. That is how much we like it there. You made me miss practicing my Spanish on the streets. I was getting pretty good. Doesn't help us much in Southeast Asia these days. We enjoyed the dog park often and we don't even have dogs. It was almost like going to the zoo for us. We would sit there with coffee and pastries and watch the dogs interact with each other for a couple of hours. Nice looking Airbnb. Enjoy your time there.

We also stayed in Roma Norte when we spent time in Mexico City in 2015. Like you, we were blown away. Hopefully, you've visited the huge Chapultapec Park (and the free zoo with pandas!) and Stephanie has had her fill of museums since there are more per capita than in any other city. That open toilet would have been a no but the 2nd makes it doable. Can't wait to see what you paid because it looks ultra luxe! If you would like friends there, let me know and I'll connect you.

Really appreciate your perspective on Mexico City. I too was worried it was too much city for me. But, now I am dying to check it out. I live in San Miguel de Allende and love it. But it is not easy to walk, nor all that great if you have a dog. No dog parks, a few too many loose dogs. So now I’m ready to to take a vacation in Mexico City but bummed about the air B&B situation since my boys go with me. Please do more videos of Mexico City I want to see more of your perspective.

I'm so sad I missed you two during my stay in la CDMX from 2019 until the beginning of this year. I got so absorbed in this video that when I looked up, I had forgotten for a moment where in the world I was. For groceries, check out Mercado el 100 in Roma Sur on Sunday mornings. Just be sure to ask for the price before deciding to buy something as some of their vendors charge a lot. I don't know if they speak English, but I bet most do. On an unrelated note, be prepared for where you're going to go if there's an earthquake. They have sensors that sound an alarm 30 seconds before the quake, but if you're on a high floor, you won't be able to make it to the street in time. The alarm is a loud automated male voice, and you'll hear all your neighbors running down the stairwell as fast as possible. Hope this helps. ¡Diviértanse!

Don't know if you guys stayed in the part of CDMX portrayed in HBO's "Amsterdam" (named after a street, and a friendly dog found on that street), but it looks similar. It's a good short series, in Spanish, with a choice of subtitles for us learners. Humor, drama, relationships, community, love of dogs, the whole enchilada. I watched once with English subtitles, next time I'll watch with Spanish subtitles.

Loving it already. That supermarket was fabulously well stocked. I could see the most beautiful fish counter. The contrast with the UK could not be greater! I thought the city would be a sketchy and polluted place and not all that safe. I guess I should access a few more vlogs rather than get my pre-conceptions from Breaking Bad! The Airbnb looks epic. Such a huge amount of space. And yes, that bathroom facility is not quite my thing either. The toilet needs a quick upgrade with a coloured flat sheet held in place with tape. Or, as you say, you need some sort of managed process to help with the timetabling of visits. You don't want to double book! I took a look at the weather just now. It's kind of manageable as the BBC tells me that it's steady at 33-35 celcius but not falling below 24 C at night. I'd prefer a little cooler overnight but I guess you have to go with whatever the climate throws at you rather than dialing it in yourself in some weird thermostat kind of way. Thanks for the vlog!

We first went to Mexico City back in 2018. I’d always said I wanted to see the pyramids, which I know you’ve seen, so this was the jumping off point. They did not disappoint and the city was a great jumping off point to other destinations. We actually stayed in a hotel in the same area that you’re in or at least close by it.

Are they still requiring masks in Mexico City in general?

Yes, definitely inside all the stores and about half the people on the street as well.

I don't understand the problem with the huge bathroom, because after all, how many people use one bathroom usually? Normal household bathrooms are usually used by only one person at a time. So if more than one people use the bathroom, .... is that normal in Canada?

You can check the latest prices on Airbnb www.airbnb.com/rooms/12932114 -- but I think the rates have only gone up since we stayed there!

Would be great to post a link to your AirBnB so we can stay there too. I believe you'll also get a referral discount if someone books it using your link.

Disfrutan la comida Mexicana, así corroboran por ustedes mismos si es rica o no, para la mayoría de Mexicanos lo es, pero tambien es bien sabido que mucha es muy grasa y a lo largo del tiempo ocasiona problemas, combinen lo sano con la comida callejera de Mexico que es la mejor 😄👍

It is indeed polluted and crowded!!! You do have nice content but it looks like a fairytale which CDMX is not. Had you used metro of CDMX? Any word on the airport? How far did you really go in Mexico city? Did you see Tepito, Ixtapalapa, ?

Mexico City... other states came to mexico city...all emigrated there and since they left everything dirty and with rude people now they are there saying ugly things about the people of the capital... they had better put up their fences so that so many people would not get into the Mexico City ... everyone is ungrateful to the Capital because the other states were made from it and now they talk shit ... without remembering that without being natives of the Valley of Mexico they got a job ... being from abroad ... there their ancestors were taught to speak Spanish/Castilian... and among other techniques, arts, trades and professions
