I went Sandra's apartment and had never been to Mexico. I contacted Sandra and asked a million questions all which she could help with in a matter of minutes.
I rented Sandra's place for 7 days...
The apartment building was stunning. It's a PH and the views are to die for during the day. The apartment is exactly what you'd expect from any other major city...
Looking out of bed were all windows, a few that opened out and they must have been 5'+(sorry us) it was so beautiful. There is a desk if you need it. wall mounted flat screen.. cable, pretty fast wifi, oh, and it's an super quiet blocks. The concierge at the front desk were nothing but gentleman and were always helping...
The bathroom, as I usually wouldn't care was nice, spacious, luxury fixtures and as crazy as it sounds....it gorgeous.
It is probably of the best areas in town... I went for walks all over the neighborhood at all hours and never once felt unsafe ever.
It was if I was staying at a hotel... minus the coffee...
Few things...
Get the exact address from Sandra, you will also need it at customs and immigration everyone was so happy to help... if you don't know what line or where to go ASK...
Both groups were the nicest set of police and govt agencies I've been through (a immigration officer actually smiled)
When ur almost at the exit of the Airport there will be car services (taxis')
I took the white and yellow...it was about 450 pesos... don't know what exchange rate u paid. BUY CURRENCY IN THE US. If you have an AMEX card, they have the best exchange rates in and out of US and they charge a barely nominal fee and are at least 1.5-1.7$ more Pesos to the dollar.
The only thing that is maybe ask for extra shower towels, dish rag, more more an than 1 xtra roll of TP.
In addition although there are forks and knives and cups but no coffee machine.
I'd be happy to give any tips I can and Sandra is the expert... PS, you are never bothered by Sandra, staff or anyone so you don't have to worry about privacy.
I would go back to Sandra's place in a heartbeat...take cabs and argue back or get out of the cab. Most places are cool with Americans and then you have people where it doesn't matter greedy is greedy. Again here and there..
There are streets in that are equivalent of "Rodeo"..sort of...it's awesome..
Alsmost everywhere has no AC ... take cabs unless you like humidity and a sweat...
Enjoy your trip..call or email me whenever if you have any questions at all.
The next trip Sandra's place is a no-brainer...
Tx so much!!!!! Sandra
