No matter what may be not perfect, the people of Mexico are so nice they'll make it all worthwhile. Maribel is a wonderful host who took care of me throughout my stay. I flew in late, and I believe it was her relative who unlocked the door for me and gave me a couple of bottles of water.
Okay - the apartment. Yes, it's a bit dark. The bathroom is a bit tight. And the shower frankly sucks. The minimum pressure shower head sprinkles in all directions except your body. So, may not be a perfect stay for long-term.
However, you will love that all the food is nearby, including the market. I know a bunch of people there now by name, as they know me. Santos will hook you up with the best carnitas - tell him Felipe sent you. Pepe and Tanya will help you choose the best fruit and throw in a few extra mandarinas in your bag. Right around the corner: tacos, grilled chicken, eggs, cheese, fruits and veggies. ATM walking distance, too. I loved the neighborhood and now miss it.
