Great Place! Friendly check in with the security guard and the super. (Enjoyed Fernando's smile and warm wishes daily) Practice your Spanish though since no one here spoke English! Out taxi driver mentioned it was the stinky part of town... and while I could imagine the sewer smell is pretty toxic when it's hot, it wasn't too bad during our stay. The location was great for us. 1 block from the Plaza de Santo Domingo, 10 minutes to the Zocalo and 15 to the Bellas Artes. We felt safe walking at night and local businesses greet you with a smile. The building is exactly as it is portrayed in the photos and is very secure. The water was hot and the pressure was good. The rooftop deck is beautiful. The only two negatives I can think of are that the wireless connection was on-again off-again and the walls are very thin (we heard lots of singing from the girls staying next door - could have been worse!) John was a pleasure to communicate with and I recommend staying here.
