My first time in Mexico City. This location was perfect for exploring the city. The room was exactly as described. Quiet, with a private terrace and bathroom. Strong wifi and plenty of hot water.
The real joy of staying here is the family. Gabriela and José are warm, gracious and welcoming. Their son, Nicolas, is charming and very inquisitive.
Gabriela and José know the city well and will make excellent recommendations on anything from where to eat to which exhibits are worth seeing and best ways to get to each. Perfect hosts.
I will add one restaurant recommend to their guide. Yuban at Calle Colima 268. Chef Zavala is a remarkable talent. The Salpícon de Venado was far better than anything I had at Pujol (which was also very good).
Last recommendation, if you are going to the Pyramids I would take Uber. The ride was 425 pesos. If you book at 0800 you arrive as the Pyramids open. I took the bus back for comparison. The bus cost 50 pesos was 30 minutes longer and takes you to El Norte station. To or from El Norte the cab ride is 225 pesos and takes an additional 20 minutes.
