First of all, the photos tell the story of how nice this flat is. It was very comfortable and absolutely immaculate! We wanted to stay in Centro for the first leg of our trip to really feel the city and we did! Never met Al but he was always text accessible and patient with my dumb questions. The down home unfancy (in a really good way) restaurant across the street Elkar was excellent! It is on a busy street. So, do not be discouraged to find the inconspicuous door between small businesses. Once inside you find an elegant complex of apartments. Hot water is an issue in Mexico. Just be patient and wait for it to flow. Also, and this was my fault, take earplugs. After the businesses close, there was a bit of street work. No big deal. It's life in the city. Thank you Al & Jackie!
