Xavier's place is on the Southwest side of town in the bustling area of Benito Juarez near Mixcoac. I found the location to be a desirable one, very close to restaurants and stores, and close to the Metrobus Line 1 that runs the length of Insurgentes. I think his apartment is fairly typical for that area. It was pretty easy to get to other places in the city and I felt safe walking in the area, although I usually used Uber at night. Xavier is such a friendly, helpful person and my visit to Mexico City got off on the right start because of his excellent communication and strong desire to make sure things go smoothly for me. We had very good conversations and shared some laughs during my six days. I would definitely stay with him again.
