I spent a month in Abel's place while taking a short sabbatical from work. The description of the apartment plus comments I read from previous guests were spot-on. The apartment is super-comfortable and extremely well-equipped. The kitchen is terrific; really, everything you might need. The bedrooms are great, with excellent beds. I was there on my own, and so had loads of space -- but the apartment would be perfectly comfortable for a family. Abel has things set up to support a long-term stay. It really did feel like a home away from home, and I was very sad to leave!
Abel was also an outstanding host. He really went above and beyond -- from the welcome bottle of wine, to helping me with theatre tickets. He was always prompt about answering questions, and provides helpful written information about local restaurants and attractions, and how to get around.
The Coyoacan area is lovely. The street itself is very busy, 24/7, so expect traffic noise. It's full of small shops and eating places (from coffee shops to taquerias to sit-down dining establishments) within an easy walk. The centre of Coyoacan, maybe a 10-15 minute walk away, is a gorgeous historic district full of restaurants and boutiques, and featuring one of the oldest churches in Mexico City. Grocery shopping, pharmacies, dry cleaning, and many other services are conveniently nearby; there is bus service at the door, and the apartment is about a half-hour walk from two different subway lines. (Yes, I used the transit systems: fast, inexpensive, and not that hard to navigate.) If you're not Spanish-speaking, be aware that most folks in the area have limited English -- but everyone I met was extremely friendly, and eager to communicate.
It all added up to an amazing stay -- highly recommended!
