Hugo's place is everything it claims to be. It is impeccably clean, secure and a small piece of quiet in the hustle and bustle of DF. My 22 year old daughter and I had originally planned to stay in the Cento Histórico because of it's proximity to many of the tourist sites we planned to see in our 2 day stay, but couldn't have made a better decision. Buses and metro are close by, and it was ideal to be in the Centro Historico by day and Condessa Roma by night. What a wonderful neighborhood--with lots of restaurants and bars and good walks to Plaza España and Mercado Roma--where there is a Turibus stop. It's really a very comfortable place from which to explore the many faces of Mexico City. Be sure to use the great guidebooks Hugo has on walks in DF. And of course, Hugo is a responsive host and the people acting as the building concierge are very nice.
