I really enjoyed my experience at Maria's apartment! First of all, the apartment is located in a nice area with lots of trees and overlooking a park, which gives it a unique "pueblo" feel in the middle of the City. Alternatively, if you are looking to sightsee or go out, it is a very short walk to Insurgentes Ave (where there are lots of restaurants/bars, and you can take the metrobus a couple of stops to the hip Roma and Condesa neighborhoods). The area is very safe and there is a doorman 24 hours.

In addition to the location, the apartment itself is beautiful! It is a loft - so the bedroom opens up onto the kitchen and living room- but it is new, bright, clean and feels very spacious. There is a balcony off of the living room that was great for drinking coffee. The apartment also is stocked with modern appliances: washer and dryer, dishwasher (yes! in Mexico!) stove, and nice shower. And Maria's style made the apartment feel at once cozy and hip. In addition, the apartment has a beautiful roof garden. I had a couple of friends over one evening and we watched the sunset and shared a bottle of wine! It was great.

I did not meet Maria, but her sister and brother-in-law showed me around and were extremely kind and helpful!!! They even dropped off some fresh fruit my first morning in the apartment. I would highly recommend this apartment. It was a great experience; my only regret was not being able to stay longer!
