Petra is a most-welcoming host, and made herself available at any time. She had maps and recommendations of where to visit and what to see.

Her apartment is in a fabulous location,; a 10 min stroll from the zocalo/Cathedral and even closer to Bella Artes.

The perfect size for one person, the apartment is in a beautiful old building, with a fantastic bakery almost next door.

Despite reports of the recent unrest in Mexico City, I felt totally safe at all times - there's a very visible police presence throughout the city which is reassuring (and no, I didn't see any protests etc.)

I would recommend staying with Petra without hesitation.
