Who is Mija?
Mija is Lesley Téllez, a food writer and culinary guide in New York City. I spent four years in Mexico's Distrito Federal, which launched my deep love for Mexican food and culture. In 2010 I co-founded the tourism company Eat Mexico.
Do you have any recommendations for websites or other forum for finding furnished lettings for 3 to 12 months in Roma, Hipodromo, Condesa?
Hi Greg: I would try Air BnB or Craigslist. As far as I know, a forum for Mexico City sublets doesn’t exist yet. If you’re interested in a larger place, a friend of mine also rents out her furnished three-bedroom apartment in Condesa for extended stays — if you want I can pass you her email address. Best of luck!
Lesley, thank you for the reply. Please feel free to pass on my contact details, and thank you for offering. 3 BR is large, but I like space. I return home to London Thursday, but will be back in Mexico 7 Sept until Christmas holidays, and then back in January for an extended period.
All the best. Greg
