I found Maria Jose's place after another place fell through at the last minute. She really helped out by accepting my stay quickly! Her english is really good, which helped make the entire process smooth and easy for this limited Spanish speaker!
Her place is a few blocks to Parque Mexico and Avenida Amsterdam, a great morning walk great for nature and dog lovers! It's also conveniently located near the Chilpancingo Metro station, making it super easy to bop around the city from her place.
The house itself is lovely with great natural sunlight from the street and decorated with all kinds of fun artsy knick knacks from Mexico and beyond.
Two notes: the room I stayed in was on the street corner. If you are sensitive to street noise at night it may be a bit a nuisance. However, I put some earplugs in and had no problems at all. Also, you MUST be an animal lover, which I am, so I felt right at home. Her precious cat Jambo made my stay even more amazing and made it difficult to say goodbye!
The room itself is very spacious, with a comfy bed, and plenty of available storage to hang and fold clothes.
Maria was a great host and did everything to ensure my stay was comfortable, even offering me freshly brewed coffee in the morning!
Great, safe place, in the hippest part of Mexico City!
