Mabel is an incredible host: kind, generous, and warm. Living in her place felt like being at home. (The cute dog didn't hurt.) The apartment itself is very pretty, with a view of downtown, the mountains, and—if you look real close—Chapultepec Castle.
It's close to a metro, the heart of Condesa, and a bunch of parks. The neighbourhood is lined with pretty palm trees, bars, restaurants, cafés, art galleries... it's extremely walkable and very safe. I couldn't recommend this listing more. Mabel is a gem!!!
