About Casa Gonzalez
The Casa is actually a conglomeration of casitas: the two houses facing Río Sena were the original ones, built in 1920 by the great-grandparents of current owner Jorge Ortiz, while a recent addition, facing Río Lerma, was erected in the 1940s and has art deco elements.
Grounds are amply endowed with gardens and plants, and serene patios are scattered around. Perhaps it is the careful nurturing over the years that lend the place such a homey, personal character.
Simplicity is the chief virtue of the 32 rooms, which feel exactly like rooms in a middle-class home, complete with antique furniture, pastoral scenes on the walls, sturdy beds and clean bathrooms. A big breakfast is served on old china in the dining room. wi-fi is available and a little cyber-cafe open 24 hours a day has been added off the patio.
Casa Gonzalez has a continuous renovation project, that means we are always working on the house.
We are also very interested in conservation: we have upgraded all toilets to the new water conserving models. 98% of our light bulbs are the new energy saving ones.

Directions
The best way to get to the house from the airport is to take an official taxi. You should buy a prepaid ticket at a booth at the luggage pick up area (or to your left after you exit customs), it should be for zone number 4 at this moment it costs $152.00 pesos. With the ticket go outside and a dispatcher will assign you to a white and yellow cab. You can tip the driver $20.00 pesos if convenient. If you have a lot of luggage and do not fit in a regular cab a minivan costs $240.00 pesos.
The closest subway station is INSURGENTES (LINE NUMBER ONE). When you exit walk on Genova street towards Reforma Avenue. Cross the Avenue and continue an the same street, it changes name to Rio Sena. Casa Gonzalez is two and a half very short blocks from Reforma on the left hand side (it's a dark blue gate).
