As a first time traveler to Mexico city, I loved this house. The neighborhood was very safe, and we were a block from the metro (which is an extremely cheap, fast & safe way to get around the city). Our flight was late and ricardos neighbor was the nicest guy helping us get settled around 3am when we arrived. He even walked us to the store to get some drinks and snacks since we hadn't eaten. The house was very cozy and quiet. We also took advantage of all the things near by. There is a restaurant across the street that looked like it got a crowd on the weekends. A taco and torta stand around the corner by the metro (my favorite was the torta holandesa con Chipotle ). A quaint coffee shop about 3-4 blocks down. Numerous convenience markets & much more that I did not have enough time to check out. I would, without a doubt, stay here again. I really like how this neighborhood seemed more of a local 'authentic' area and not touristy. Thank you for all of your help & reccomendations ricardo! If I could give a 10 star rating, I would.
