Your Hosts
When Craig and Jorge bought their house in Condesa twenty years ago they had no idea that it would become Mexico City’s number one B and B. It was an accident. It started with one room rented on Craigs List that brought fun, interesting people, many who remain our friends today. Every guest was important and everyone was treated like a visiting friend. In the beginning there was no breakfast but there was always wine and conversation in the evening. The Red Tree House has grown but the tradition of hospitality continues. In their years of hosting they have learned many lessons and have honed their
hospitality skills. You will often hear them saying, “We don’t just rent rooms, we provide an experience.”
