Sandro's Condesa apartment is perfect! I communicated with Sandro prior to arrival, and on the ground was met with Lalo, who was organized, prompt, and responsive. Lalo also went above and beyond the call of duty: when I arrived, and I mentioned that I wanted to visit the grocery store, he not only drove me there but insisted on paying for my groceries (initial start-ups like coffee and eggs and cereal). Also, the apartment was well-stocked with wine and beer, and the cell phone was topped off with 300 pesos.

The apartment is exactly as advertised, facing an interior courtyard. The WiFi worked perfectly. The balcony and the living room are very comfortable, and the ability to open the balcony doors brings in lots of light and fresh air. The hot water arrives rapidly, and Lalo responded very quickly one day when the water was shut off, piping in a private supply of water to the apartment so we would not be without (water shut-offs are common in that part of Mexico City, and not at all Sandro or Lalo's fault). The apartment complex is very secure and quiet at night; its location down an large-ish alley insulates it from street noise. The neighborhood is also fantastic, one of the trendiest in Mexico City-- there are nice bars, restaurants, and yoga studios within walking distance, and the area is very safe for walking around late at night. The taxi stand across the street is very convenient, and the metro is a ten minute walk away.

I will definitely stay here again!
