The apartment is very clean and spacious, with new bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Unlike many Mexican accommodations, the lighting is excellent, although the bathrooms could use stronger wattage light bulbs if one wants to apply make-up. There's a nice sized dining table in a dining room; very comfortable sofas in the living room that make watching the large smart TV a real pleasure; the nice sized bedroom has a very comfortable mattress and nice linens . There are two bedside tables with lamps, an additional small chest for clothing storage and a small desk for one's computer. The WiFi connection is excellent. The large bathroom area next to the bedroom has a sizable closet with hangars and shelves. Both bathrooms have new glass shower enclosures and attractive sinks.
The instant-on hot water heater takes a little getting used to: turn the hot water in the shower on full and adjust the cold water, not the hot. Also, the windows open onto an interior courtyard. The apartment is located on a walking street that is lined with small bars and restaurants, so there can be street noise late at night, especially on weekends. Use ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. We found that closing the door between the bedroom and bathroom helped, as well as letting iTunes play low on our computer.
We really enjoyed the easy walking distance from the apartment to the Zocalo and we felt safe walking back to the apartment at night. Our favorite restaurant, Zefiro, is a block away in the beautiful campus of the University of Sor Juana. The restaurants , bars, and store front taquerias on the several block long walking street Calle Regina provide multiple local food opportunities and the murals are striking. There are also pharmacies and a convenience store a block away. Martha responded instantly to our questions or requests for advice. Thank you for a very pleasant stay!
