Carlos & Abel’s place is in a great location, within walking distance to El Zocalo, and other great touristic attractions. Transportation to surrounding areas was easy and not far away from the apartment. I found the apartment to be ‘sparkling’ clean; it has all the appliances and utensils one can possibly need for a short or long-term stay. I was very impressed with hosts prompt response to my inquiries. Both Abel and Carlos were very helpful whenever I contacted them, prior to and during my stay at their place. My favorite place to eat was Mercado de San Juan (near Salto del Agua), about 5-minute walk from the apartment; you cannot beat a great and substantial meal (comida corrida) for under $5 US DLS (tip included!). Food was delicious and it was the only big meal I had in any given day. All booths have more than one main dish to choose from. I wanted to eat at the market every day! Inside the market, you can also find fresh fruit juice/salad booths; salad bowls are large with different types of seasonal fruit (w/granola & yogurt, if desired) for the equivalent of $2 US DLS which makes for a healthy breakfast; you do not even need lunch; just wait for dinner time to enjoy another great meal elsewhere. If you like pastry (pan dulce), or a small cake for dessert, my fave bakery was “Pasteleria La Ideal”, also located within walking distance from the apartment.
All in all, Carlos & Abel’s place was lovely. I always felt safe as it is a secure building with a doorman 24-7. I will definitely stay with them again. My husband and I are already planning a trip together and we will book with Abel & Carlos. I wholeheartedly recommend Luxury Apt. in the heart of The City.
