Rafael is very generous host; he was patient with us as we got delayed coming out of customs at the airport and met us at the apartment. He provided us with a full rundown of the house, where we could find certain attractions, and just general tips to help us navigate the city.
The apartment is centrally located; right off the Reforma and close to a metro station. Walking to either Condesa or Roma is about 15-20 minutes either direction. The area is also very safe and full of restaurants and shops. The large floor to ceiling windows were nice as they made the apartment feel very large and breezy. The balcony off the living room was perfect in both the mornings and evenings. The bedroom gets a bit hot at night, due in part to the afternoon sun, but he warned us and we just kept the shades pulled during the day. There is also a powerful fan provided to make sleeping more comfortable and it also helps to drown out any general city noises.
The hot water, chrome cast and all appliances worked perfectly. The kitchen was well appointed and it’s a very easy place to spend quite a few days in. Thank you again, Rafael!
