Kary is warm, welcoming, helpful —a superlative host and human being. (So are her utterly delightful mother and brother).
The flat is cozy and simple, yet well-appointed. None of the horrid “Airspace” generic sterile aesthetic that plagues AirBnBs globally. I particularly appreciated the nice warm lamps.
The neighborhood is blessedly devoid of tourists and all that brings: no begging, litter, or scams, and the food is better and radically less expensive than, say, Cuauhtemoc. I got four amazing tacos for less than $2.50USD *total* in the neighborhood (forget the name of the spot), and I could happily eat at Itzko Cafe daily til I die. Great coffee/food/atmosphere/service…and patient with my horrendous espanol.
I slept like a baby, but if you’re sensitive to traffic noise you might have an issue.
