Local stays,
real connections.
For World Cup travelers looking for real homes, trusted locals and a more human way to experience Mexico City.
“I arrived as a guest, but Panchita made me feel like I had a friend in the city. Our conversations over café de olla showed me the neighborhood, the food and the everyday life of Mexico City from the inside.”
— Jamie Steph, traveler.
Friend in the City is not a massive booking platform.
It´s a simple local stays project where guests stay inside real local homes — with hosts like Panchita, who open their doorsand welcome visitors into everyday life in Mexico City.
Here, guests stay with local hosts who open their doors, welcome them into their homes and help them feel part of the city from the moment they arrive.
You don’t just find a place to sleep. You live with locals, feel welcomed with open arms and experience Mexico City through the people who call it home.

FRIEND IN THE CITY
Why stay with a local?
Before travel became platforms, people stayed with families, learned the language, shared meals and understood the city from the inside..
How do we choose our hosts?
The goal is simple: when you arrive, you don’t feel alone — you feel welcomed.
We don’t work with every available room.Friend in the City looks for local hosts who can offer more than a bed: a clean space, a respectful home and a real sense of welcome

Stories from the City
Every stay has a story.
Behind every room, there is a local host, a neighborhood, a family table, a morning coffee, a favorite street, and a different way to experience Mexico City.
Friend in the City shares real stories from real homes — so travelers don’t just book a place to sleep.
They discover the city through the people who live it.
Marina´s Family, Roma-Condesa.
I wanted to see Mexico City. Marina’s family helped me feel it.”
I had seen the restaurants, parks and coffee shops online. But staying with Mariana’s family gave me something different.
They shared small rituals: Sunday breakfast, neighborhood walks, local bakeries, stories about the city and the places tourists usually miss.
It felt less like visiting a destination and more like being welcomed into a rhythm of life.
— Sophie Lane, traveler
Don Miguel, Stadium Room.
“I came for work near the stadium. Don Miguel made the city feel easy.”
I needed a simple room close to the stadium. Nothing fancy — just a clean place to sleep, shower and be on time.
But Don Miguel helped me understand the area: where to get breakfast, how to move around, which streets were safer and how to avoid traffic on event days.
What I thought would be just a room became local support when I needed it most.
— Alex Smith, International football correspondent.
