I really, really enjoyed my stay at Gala and Lucas' place. Moving in was really easy, as Lucas met me at the apartment building right on time and then did a great job explaining everything I needed to know. And the location was perfect -- a one-minute walk from the Copilco Metro station, and just a 15 to 20 minute walk from CEPE, the Spanish-language learning center at UNAM where I studied in May and June. Oh, also, right next to the Copilco metro station are a lot of really great street food vendors. It turns out you can live for two months on a diet of almost nothing but tacos al pastor. And when they are 5 for 25 pesos, why would you eat anything else? As for the apartment, it was a nice layout on the 10th floor of one of the buildings in Integracion Latinoamericana, a gated -- but not obnoxiously private -- community in Copilco. The views of Mexico City to the north and south were really beautiful. When I was there, I shared the apartment with Alejandro, who was really great. I stayed in the smaller of the two bedrooms, which was a perfectly adequate size. The only issue I had -- and it's only because I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall -- is that the bed in that room was a little small. Really, other than that, it was all I could have asked for, and a perfect place to get to know Mexico City.
