7 Must-See Airbnbs in Mexico City That Will Have You Heading South of the Border

Mexico City may be best known for its artisanal smoked mezcal, ancient ruins and unrivaled cuisine, but the Central American city is also home to the most impressive rising stars in the design industry. Some of the young designers are even returning to the country’s most beloved style: organic modernism, whose combination of sophisticated interiors and natural elements paved the way for indoor-outdoor living. After all, few countries offer transitional design that bridges the inside and the outside like Mexico does, which is why design enthusiasts and jet-setters are making their way below the border in droves. .

If you plan to travel to Ciudad de Mexico to see for yourself, avoid the sprawling resorts and large hotels. Opt instead for a boutique property on Airbnb. From a two-bedroom apartment inspired by traditional artists’ residences to a 1950s bungalow with a 40-foot-long pool, digs on Airbnb are like authentically Mexican cultural havens. Plus, carne asada tacos and spicy margaritas taste much better on a terrace overlooking the Bosque de Chapultepec than in a gated resort.
