If you want to be in the heart of historic Mexico City, this is the place. The area is safe and the building has a watchman 24/7. The apartment was very clean. My apartment was on the third floor and it faced the street. I believe Francisco has several other apartments in this building. I loved the street view. It's noisy during the day if you open the windows, but it dies way down at night and was very quiet. -----The feel and look of the building was more like a hotel. It has a gym, a watchman, and a community roof terrace. But unlike in a hotel, you get full-size fridge, a real stove and all you need to cook a meal. I also appreciate the large water bottle! I would stay there again.
