My stay at Maribel's apartment was everything -- and more -- that I had hoped for. Tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, with all the amenities, it is close to transit that you can take to subway stops, and blocks away from a huge grocery store with every imaginable food item, including a myriad of delicious Mexican specialties ( a favourite destination of mine during my visit). Maribel was always close at hand if assistance was needed, never intrusive. The apartment is 15 minutes walk from the centre of Coyoacan, which has scores of restaurants, stores, an artisan's market, street vendors, musicians and much, much more. Maribel and her husband are a friendly, sophisticated couple, full of bonhomie, and fountains of knowledge and tips about Coyoacan and Mexican culture. All in all, Maribel's rental has to be an example of what makes Airbnb a great alternative to commercial hotels. A most enjoyable experience.
