The SERAPIO APARTMENT

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Mexico City, The Serapio Apartment captures a unique blend of historic charm and modern style. Set in a grand Porfirian-era edifice, this apartment reflects the architectural beauty and elegance of Mexico City’s golden age. Located in Colonia San Rafael—recently celebrated by Time Out magazine as one of the world’s must-visit neighborhoods for 2024—the apartment offers guests the chance to experience one of the city’s most authentic and exciting areas.

This is where I live, but since my work often takes me around the globe, I’m opening my doors to a select few who value charm, thoughtful design, and the unique character of a space that tells its own story. Filled with objects collected from my travels and cozy, inviting details, this apartment offers an atmosphere far removed from the typical impersonal short-term rental.

Nestled in Colonia San Rafael, a neighborhood recently blossoming into a paradise for digital nomads—it’s the perfect retreat for those seeking a vibrant, authentic slice of Mexico City. Here, you’ll find a lived-in warmth and welcoming ambiance that makes you feel right at home, all while being at the heart of one of the city’s most exciting areas.

Colonia San Rafael is a vibrant mix of eclectic architecture, culture, and creativity, just a 10-minute walk from trendy Roma and Juárez, 20 minutes from the hip Condesa, and close to Centro Histórico’s charm and art. San Rafael is also home to the world’s first Michelin-starred taqueria and countless other delights within a 5–10 minute walk. Its strategic location puts you in the heart of it all for an unforgettable Mexico City experience.
