Enjoy a "home-sharing" experience in Cuernavaca, "The City of Eternal Spring," near Mexico City, in an apartment with a spacious bedroom, dressing area, and private bathroom, with free access to the living room, dining room, kitchen, dishwasher, and laundry area.

The apartment is on the ninth floor and offers a view of the mountains (there are two elevators). Inside, it has a second bedroom and an additional bathroom, which I usually use. I also have an office all to myself, where I spend several hours a day on the computer when I’m at home, as is usually the case. By the way, I’m a professor—partially retired but still active in human rights work.


I hope your stay will be more enjoyable than staying in a hotel room or a soulless space with very few kitchen utensils and almost no napkins! I make an effort to share the space without compromising my guests’ privacy or my own. However, since I live alone, I enjoy the company of the couples or solo travelers I host just as much as I enjoy the company of people I meet when I travel around Mexico or abroad. Here, I love going to the market with my guests or simply having a coffee or a beer downtown while enjoying an interesting conversation.

I’d love to host former USAID employees. In 1967–68, during my senior year of high school, I stayed with American host families in St. Paul, Minnesota, and I have unforgettable memories of their kindness.

If you decide to cook at home, you won’t have to pay for or worry about anything other than your own ingredients; in that case, you’ll have access to kitchen utensils, oil, sugar, tortillas, and a reasonable supply of spices.

You can also enjoy the apartment’s terrace with a martini or some sake, or even have lunch or dinner there; I hardly ever use it!

Your bedroom has a TV, new mattresses, and blackout curtains. General cleaning is done twice a week, but if you prefer your bedroom to be completely dust-free, you can use the Dayson at any time!

The condominium features spacious green areas for walking, a heated pool, and the following amenities: a jacuzzi, a gym, coworking spaces, a game lounge with pool and card tables, a nice café/restaurant serving breakfast and lunch at affordable prices, a small movie theater, and covered parking.
