The reviews I read alluded to the fact that you'd have a new friend in Alex. They were absolutely right. I'll see him again, no doubt. My wife and I were lucky when our flight got canceled because we were backed into meeting said new friend_ a very simpatico person who lives in a very cool part of CDMX. When we met him he was holding a bag of fresh fish and pointed us to the best market we saw on our trip. He and I both had fish for dinner, I added octopus, and it was the best I've tasted. Good times like that are why we travel. You gotta love AirBnB. Will that experience happen in a hotel? Very unlikely...
