Daniela's apartment is a perfect base for exploring Mexico Cty: it is perfectly located, spacious, clean, well-decorated, secure (24/7 doorman), fully equipped for cooking, near large supermarkets and more traditional Mexican markets/mercados, and has two patios on either end of the apartment with lovely views.

I stayed in Daniela's apartment for three months and it really felt like a home with a soul - not a corporate-owned apartment with cheap furniture rented out to tourists and business executives to "maximize" someone's real estate investment.

Best of all is the location: in la Roma Norte on a beautiful, quiet tree-lined street and on the border of la Condesa. Together, these two neighborhoods are filled with some of the city's most interesting restaurants, shops, parks, cafes, galleries and nightlife - and they are central for exploring the city easily in any direction.

Finally - Daniela was a perfect host - easy-going, quick to respond, quick to help, and reaching out with the occasional check-in to ensure my stay was as perfect as possible.

Mexico City is a special place and one of my favorite cities in the world - and I can't recommend Daniela's beautiful home highly enough to help make your stay enjoyable, comfortable, stylish and secure.
