Rubén's place is in a historic building and its charm instantly made me fall in love with the space and area. The location is quiet in the day and evenings and it is in the heart of the Historic District, which is perfect to use a central point to anywhere within CDMX proper.
Even though it is around the corner from a tourist-prone area, there is still a strong feeling of being among locals--walk one direction to be a tourist, walk another to get a more authentic-vibe.
It's a great place for a solo traveler looking to experience the city-
Easy walking distances to the metro for ducking into other neighborhoods like La Condesa and Roma-- and I felt safe walking around late at night --
The accommodations are exactly what one needs to be comfortable, feel safe, and get rest after a full day in the city.
Rubén is a patient and gracious host, willing to offer his insight and I like to think that I made a new friend while there.
Rubén's place is definitely a gem I'll keep in my back pocket for my future returns.
