María José was always quick to respond, and very warm in her communication style. Check in was quick and easy as we were greeted by María José, as she showed us around the apartment and offered recommendations for where to eat. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos, but somehow even more spacious and even more comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast (with tea or coffee as provided by María José at the apartment) on the balcony every morning, which was perfectly covered and private, and mostly faced the trees lining the middle of the street. The location was perfect, being right in the middle of the lively and beautiful Condesa neighbourhood. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, bakeries, and a market close by (that María José kindly pointed out to us). We took the metro everyday, which was only a 7 minute walk from the apartment, and there are multiple parks within walking distance as well, not to mention endless options for delicious food in every direction. Although the street was very busy, we had no trouble sleeping as María José thoughtfully provided ear plugs. In addition, it felt extremely safe as the apartment is entered only by buzzing the very friendly front door attendant. We ended up extending our stay for 2 nights and were lucky enough to call María José's place our home for a week. We would highly recommend her place to anyone and would hope to return some day!
