Great set-up Maris has for you: being two blocks from the Revolución metro stop and 1 from the bus was uber-convenient, and you don't pay La Condesa or La Roma prices being in San Rafael, but it's still very populated and close to whatever you want to get to (particularly as the metro is cleaner and dare I say, faster, than New York's!). The place was clean, well-lit and the doorman was always there. Maris gave excellent information about the location and means of transport prior to our departure, and though we did not need to contact her because of this, she remained very accessible throughout our stay via phone and email.

Also! As you may want to call taxis ahead of time to go places or make reservations over the phone, having a working land line in the apartment was a boon. Very important if you don't want to go purchase a Mexican SIM card for a week-long trip.

Gracias Maris!
