Can six of us book three rooms in the Condesa house and treat it as one group stay?

Yes. Each room books individually, so three rooms gives six people three bedrooms and three private ensuite bathrooms, with the kitchen, patio, coworking area and rooftop terrace shared across the house. The one thing to confirm when you enquire is that your three preferred rooms are free on the same dates, because they sell separately and rarely empty out together.

Is there parking, and should we even rent a car in Mexico City?

Lagrange has free parking, and there's free street parking at the Condesa house on Calle Atlixco. Most of our guests skip the car entirely: Condesa and Roma Norte are walkable to each other, the Metro reaches the Centro Histórico in about twenty-five minutes, and rush-hour traffic between 7–10am and 5–8pm turns short drives into long ones.

How long does it take to get from these neighbourhoods to the airport?

Allow twenty to forty minutes from Condesa or Roma Norte to Benito Juárez airport outside peak hours, and up to an hour during weekday rush. Polanco is a comparable run. If you're flying out in the morning, leave earlier than any map tells you to.

We're travelling with a toddler. Is Lagrange set up for that?

It has a stair gate and window guards already in place, which spares you the usual arrival ritual of childproofing someone else's apartment, plus a lift in the building for the pram. The kitchen has a stove, freezer, microwave and blender, so bottle and meal prep is straightforward. Pets aren't allowed at the apartment.

Is Coyoacán worth a day trip from Polanco or Condesa?

It is, but treat it as a half-day minimum rather than an errand. Coyoacán sits well south of the Roma and Condesa hub and the drive can stretch toward an hour in traffic, so go in the morning, eat there, and come back after the evening peak has passed.

Three bedrooms in Mexico City: what we'd book

Tree-lined residential street in Condesa, Mexico City, with mid-century apartment buildings and jacaranda trees

The short answer: we have one true three-bedroom home in Mexico City, Lagrange, a whole apartment in Polanco that sleeps six. Everything else we run here is a different animal: private bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, in a single building on Calle Atlixco in Condesa. Six people who want three bedrooms can book three of those rooms and share a kitchen, a patio, a coworking room and a rooftop. That is a genuinely different trip, and which one suits you depends less on bed count than on whether your group wants a front door of its own.

Lagrange, in Polanco, for the group that wants the whole place

Three bedrooms, four bathrooms, sleeps six, about a thousand square feet, in a building with an elevator. The bathroom count is the detail people skim past and then thank us for: four bathrooms for six guests means nobody is standing in a hallway at eight in the morning while someone else finishes a shower. It's a single-family residence rather than a room in a shared house, so the kitchen, the dining table and the sound system belong to your group for the length of the stay.

It's set up to be lived in rather than camped in. A real kitchen with a stove, a freezer, a blender and enough dishes to cook for six, blackout curtains in the bedrooms, a washer and dryer in the apartment, and a dedicated workspace for whoever in the group still has a Tuesday meeting. There's a stair gate and window guards, which tells you something about who has stayed happily: families travelling with a small child don't have to arrive and start childproofing. Long-term stays are allowed, and luggage drop-off means an early flight in or a late one out doesn't cost you a day.

Polanco is the polished end of the city: wide boulevards, embassies, serious restaurants. It is a short drive from the Centro Histórico and an easy one to Coyoacán, though Mexico City traffic makes a liar of any clock, so build in more time than the map suggests at rush hour. If what your group wants is to cook, spread out, close a door and not negotiate with strangers over the kettle, Lagrange is the one we'd book.

The Condesa alternative: three private rooms instead of three bedrooms

Our other Mexico City inventory sits on Calle Atlixco in Condesa, and it works differently. Each room is private, with its own ensuite bathroom and a smart lock for self check-in, and the shared parts of the house do the rest: a fully equipped kitchen, a patio, an indoor coworking area, and a rooftop terrace with seating and a BBQ. Wi-Fi runs at 500 Mbps. Housekeeping comes daily. There's a washer and dryer, air conditioning, and free street parking outside.

Book three of those rooms and you've got three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a kitchen, for six people. What you don't get is exclusivity: the kitchen and the rooftop are shared with other guests. For couples travelling together who'd rather have ensuite privacy than a private living room, and for remote workers who'd use a coworking room more than a sofa, that trade reads well. For a family who wants the place to themselves at seven in the morning, it doesn't.

The rooms aren't interchangeable, and it's worth picking deliberately:

Zeta is the largest room in the house, which matters if you're staying weeks rather than nights and need somewhere to put a suitcase that isn't the floor.
Alpha has soaring ceilings, wood floors and the artistic touches that make a room feel like a Condesa apartment rather than a hotel.
Gamma is the best-equipped room for a traveller who's here to work.
Epsilon takes natural light from large windows.
Omega sits near the rooftop access, which is either a feature or a consideration depending on how you sleep.
Delta is the petit room, for people who treat a bedroom as somewhere to sleep between meals.
Sigma sleeps one, so it works for a solo guest joining a group rather than as a double.

Kappa and Beta round out the house, both freshly renovated, both bright. Every room except Sigma sleeps two.

Polanco or Condesa, decided by how you spend your days

Condesa is the one you walk. Parque México is the centre of gravity, a few blocks of cafés and galleries around it, and Chapultepec is a twenty to twenty-five minute walk from the neighbourhood if you'd rather not get in a car. Roma Norte is next door, close enough that you'll drift between the two without noticing: Mercado Roma on Querétaro street is three floors of food stalls, two restaurants and a rooftop beer garden, and Rosetta sits in a townhouse a short walk away. Plaza Río de Janeiro and the Cibeles fountain, a copy of the Madrid one, are the landmarks people use to orient themselves.

Polanco is quieter, grander and more residential, with restaurants that take reservations seriously. It's a shorter hop to Chapultepec, and a car or a Metro ride to Roma and Condesa when you want the noise. Groups that plan to cook at the apartment and go out for one proper dinner a night tend to be happier there than groups who want to stumble home from a bar.

If the Centro Histórico is the reason you're coming

Neither home is in the historic centre, and that's a choice more visitors make than you'd expect. From Roma and Condesa, the Centro is a twenty to forty minute drive depending on the hour, or about twenty-five minutes on the Metro, and most people who come to see the Zócalo, the cathedral and the murals go in for a long morning and come back out to eat. Staying in Condesa or Polanco means you sleep in a neighbourhood of trees and restaurants and visit the monuments, rather than the reverse. If your trip is built entirely around the centre, book the earliest Metro you can face and treat the afternoon as a different city.

A few nights, or a few weeks

Both formats handle long stays, which in Mexico City is more common than it used to be. Lagrange allows long-term stays outright, and has a dedicated workspace and in-apartment laundry, so a month there functions like living somewhere rather than visiting. The Condesa rooms were built for the same thing from the other direction: daily housekeeping, the coworking room, 500 Mbps for calls that can't drop, and the rooftop for the hour after you close the laptop. Zeta is the one people extend into, because the extra square metres start to matter in week three.

Nightly rates across our Mexico City rooms and apartments run from the low forties to the mid hundreds in dollars before taxes and fees, which is a wide band because a single private bedroom and a three-bedroom apartment are not the same product. Book direct and you pay no platform fees, and support is on the other end of a message at any hour. Check your exact dates for availability and current pricing before you plan around a particular room, since the Condesa house moves quickly in high season.
