This property is in ‘Polanquito’ (the heart of Polanco), which is known for narrow streets and town squares lined with luxury shops and restaurants. The views in the apartment are an instant jaw-dropper, but look closer and you’ll also fall in love with thoughtful uses of color, texture, and composition.
