What a great place!

Victor's apartment is lovely. It's clean, cute and stylishly renovated. He lives nearby and was able to meet us extremely early in the morning to give us the keys and show us around (8am!)

He sorted us out with drinking water, some basics like shampoo and there were even little Ferrero Rocher chocolates on our pillows!

The apartment itself is completely redone. The little kitchen is perfect for preparing food. It includes a mini-fridge, microwave and gas range. But with one of the best taquerias in town (Los Parados) just a few blocks away - who wants to cook?

The bathroom is cute with a spacious shower and large shower head. It just takes a few minutes to heat up.

There's a comfy couch to read on, a collapsable dinner table to save space and a large closet to throw all your stuff into.

The apartment was a bit cold for the first few days we were there - but it was just about the coldest week of the year. Victor did leave an extra blanket, but make sure to bring a sweater if you're here in the winter.

The building is quiet on a quiet street and the doorman is very nice. It's in the quiet residential end of Colonia Roma (Sur). It's about a 10-15 minute walk up to Alvaro Obregon, the main commercial strip in Roma Norte. You'll end up walking this multiple times every day. But it is nice to be a little away from the action.

It's located half-way between 2 subway stops. They're less than a 10 minute walk in opposite directions. There's also one of the main Metrobus lines nearby.

All in all, I'm hard pressed to think of any better way to stay in Mexico City than this cute, stylish and quiet apartment!
