Location! Location! Location! Walk out the door and you are right where everything is happening in the Roma Norte area and, trust us, there is SO much to do, see and experience - great food, music, coffee, beautiful architecture, parks nearby and more!
Rene was a wonderful host and we appreciated how warm and inviting he and his partner were and made us feel.
The main door from the street is unassuming and sandwiched between two cool bookstores. You walk up 4 flights of stairs (no elevator so if that is important to you, take note). In the apartment we had a large room, large bed, coffee maker, fun chalk board, work table and a large window. The bathroom is shared but we really felt like we had it to ourselves so that was not an issue. Even though the building is on a main vein the apartment/room are very quiet because they are up high and in the back part of the building - so you had the best of both worlds - access to everywhere and a quiet place to come back too.
We had access to the kitchen and even made breakfast one day which was a nice treat from eating out every meal (although the food in MX City is incredible!)
Mexico City as a whole is an amazing city and we can't wait to return.
