I loved my stay with Hector and Gladys in DF! They were both incredibly welcoming and accommodating during my stay, and made me feel truly comfortable in their home. They had a ton of great recommendations for what to do in the neighborhood and around the city, and also gave me plenty of freedom to go about my trip on my own schedule. They even offered me a lovely breakfast every morning!
The apartment is right in the heart of Del Valle, a quiet, safe-feeling neighborhood a bit further from the hustle and bustle but very close to public transit and walkable to lots of interesting neighborhoods and decidedly non-touristy. The room was exactly as pictured, with a super comfortable bed and space to unpack my things, and I was welcomed to spend time in the common spaces as well. Also - we spoke in Spanish but they also speak English, which was a great fallback. I would not hesitate to stay with them again. Thank you Hector and Gladys!
